If you are feeling bad, don't jump to conclusions. Don't…
““If you are feeling bad, don't jump to conclusions. Don't react to people or situations quickly. Sometimes it's best to let them sit and marinate for awhile. If you've given it a week or so and you still feel like this is an issue that needs to be addressed, go ahead and address it then. You'll have a better handle on your emotions and hopefully you will have used that time to articulate specifically what the issue is so when you communicate with someone about it, you can be better understood.””
