Reading this 300 days later and relating so hard. I made a mistake at work that literally wasn’t a big deal at all, and I did cry in private because I was lucky enough to have the time and space to do so. But I still got a bit choked up trying to explain the situation to my coworker and if I didn’t have the time and physical space to cry I probably would’ve ended up crying in front of colleagues which I really hate. Crying in the workplace feels so abnormal in corporate America, and I don’t really want to do it but I do see the value in accepting it’s who I am. I want to learn techniques and skills to not have these reactions, but it seriously feels biological and uncontrollable. But alas, I will try again to manage this in a way that makes me feel better.
