Wow Nicole,

Examine what you said here.  If someone has an adverse response to your fill-in-the-blank here then you will never want to do that again.

Your life is now dictated by how people respond to you.

You can either avoid everything/everyone in life or work on yourself to knowing that 1) you come with good intentions, 2) that you do the best you can, 3) it is always the other person’s stuff that causes them to respond/react.  It is up to them in how they decide to respond.
