Why is it so hard for me to take criticism.

I had to pull over to take an urgent phone call so I pulled over to a shop car park. Seemed harmless enough. Better than talking and driving. Anyways I could see people looking at me so I thought I better end the convo. So I did. But then they got grumpy and said they were waiting for me and wanted to close up the car park. I obviously felt very bad. Had I known, I would've parked somewhere else..

But then they called be 'arrogant'. This is bothering me. I thought maybe i was being thoughtless. maybe ignorant or clueless. I don't think I was being arrogant. All i did was apologize and try to explain the situation. I've never been called arrogant in my life. I'm far from being arrogant. My self esteem is so low that I drove away and started to cry.
I wish I did have an engrossed sense of entitlement.

I don't think they used the right word to say. I would never say that to stranger I'd never met before. I've come across rude customers or people who were taking ages to leave the shop before but Im always nice to them upfront. I mean... obviously I was an inconvenience and I feel bad for that. Why are people so quick to judge.

I feel frustrated when people treat me in ways that I would never treat them.

You didn’t do anything intentionally wrong and you were genuinely sorry for the inconvenience. It was a misunderstanding and their use of the word arrogant was not appropriate for the situation. I think there is generally a lot of bad behavior these days. When you care about manners, the rude behavior will bother you even more. But in the end you can always feel good about your own positive behavior regardless of how others behave.

Strangers can be mean. It's not right at all and if I ruled the world there'd be laws against it. They were really thoughtless and you're right, they used the completely wrong word. They were the arrogant ones. You know what is said about people who point fingers...there's three pointing back at them. ((((ZaraRose))))

They were being rude, that is all. Some look for ways to take their angers out on someone, and you provided an excellent excuse. My phone is off when I drive.
