Way to be mature!

Are you sure it was about you? Did it mention you by name? I don't know about you but I always assume I am guilty when someone mentions something. For example (bear with me, I know I've told this story before), when I student taught my advisor gave us a lecture about girls wearing inappropriate clothes (too much cleavage or thongs showing). I spent hours checking all my "teacher clothes" to make sure they were appropriate. When I talked to my mom that evening, she laughed herself silly. She said I don't dress like that...never have. According to her, I've always been that way, I internalize things and take them personally.

The point of my rambling is this: 1.) Ignore the bad stuff (and yes, it is VERY hard to do that....I've gotten better at it, but sometimes it still gets to me too) and 2.) don't assume someone means you unless thay tell you specifically.

Take it with a grain of salt. And if they do mean you...refer to rule one. You're doing the best you can. We know that.
