Hurt Feelings

I don't typically post anything that is deeply personal, especially when it comes to my feelings. Well, I guess I do, but it's rare for me to have my feelings hurt. Tonight I got my feelings hurt by someone and I don't think it was intended but they did. I am not afraid to admit that I am a strong willed and opinionated person, however, tonight I was extremely gracious and although I wasn't going to be able to do something that I wanted to I had a positive attitude about it. Even though it was genuine I made sure that I expressed it as to not make the other person feel badly that I wasn't going or to feel like they were stuck in the middle. It didn't matter. Somehow I upset this person to the point that I was hung up on.

I could not understand this at all because I was just as chipper and positive as one could be and couldn't figure out why this person would be upset. So I stupidly called back to figure out what was going on. It didn't help matters and I was hung up on again. I couldn't help it but my feelings were hurt. So much so that I just started crying. Mackenzie asked me what was wrong and I tried to explain to her in simple terms.

I shouldn't let it bother me but it does. I honestly don't see where I did something that was wrong. I know I didn't. My goal was to make the situation as good as it could be to that this person wouldn't have to feel stuck in the middle. I guess I just couldn't.

But I'm not going to lie. It hurts to be hung up on twice and have things said (albeit not curse words or just plain out nasty comments) by someone who I consider to be close to me. I know tiffs happen and stuff but I don't like the way I felt tonight. It sucks.
