A lot of times we do something silly that embarrasses us and other people barely remember it or barely care. Is it possible that your situation is something of that nature? To give you an example this summer I was grocery shopping, and a teenager grabbed my cart by accident. I went over to her and said I’m sorry but you have my cart. She was so embarrassed that she tucked her head into her moms arm. I told her that it was not a big deal at all but I didn’t really feel like starting my grocery shopping over again. I thanked her for giving me back my cart and moved on. Well 10 minutes later I realized I missed something in that aisle I go back and the girl is still sitting there completely embarrassed. I again assured her it was not a big deal. To me it was nothing to her, she may still be upset about it for all I know. It will definitely make me question going after my cart the next time! We don’t need any teenagers ending up in therapy over accidentally taking a cart.
