All I do know is that I could have shrugged my shoulders and murmured ‘Ah so, so be it’ to myself and let it go.
I need to forgive myself. But I also need to ask myself WHY I chose to get upset. And I feel the answer might be because I myself was a little concerned about something which had happened earlier in the day.
