lol I don't have a problem saying I'm not going to do something if I don't want to do it. I accidentally made T's intern cry yesterday because she challenged me not to drop any f-bombs in group. I told her I have no interest in participating in a game that involved censoring me. If my language was offending/triggering other clients, then I will chose to use different language out of respect for them, but she's going to have to come up with a better reason than for the sake of some juvenile game in order to convince me to conceal how I really feel. She was I guess shocked by the strength of my conviction/unwillingness to cooperate.

I don't actually really know what made her cry. She didn't do it in front of me. She held herself together and returned to the office before bursting out into tears. My T was in the office and she hunted me down and asked what happened because she instructed her to talk to me and then she comes back in tears. I can be a bit abrasive so her assuming that I tore into her wasn't a crazy assumption. I told her what happened, T thought her reaction was odd, we went and talked to her and I guess everything is fine. T and I briefly talked about that today and neither one of us can figure out why what I said made her react like that. I must have said something and I don't remember it or she has her own problems. I don't know. Anyway, I have very little issue putting my foot down.
Thanks for this!
