I fvcked up and I hope to be forgiven. I been at this job for a year now and by all accounts, I made great strides since I first started. Especially since a couple weeks ago when I really kicked it up a notch and watched everything I said and did. I mean everything, to the point of causing anxiety if I fall short of perfect. A few days ago, I slipped. She approached me on the sales floor and I forgot what she said exactly. Then I went, I love you. A second later, realizing my mistake, I immediately went, " sorry I prolly shouldn't have said that."

She went, " no ur fine. U just need to stop watching [some MTV shyt.]"

Now I'm worried like fvck. I return to work tomorrow and then this coming weekend. Wtf is gonna be the outcome? I embarrassed myself and possibly her, even though she didn't get mad or anything. Bc of anxiety, I cut myself and think suicidal thoughts at home. I slipped like that the day after she said I improved. Should I die?

Try not to be too hard on yourself. We all slip up every now and then and if she was fine afterwards I doubt there will be any ongoing issues, especially if you have great work performance.

See how it goes tomorrow but I think it should be fine

The best remedy here is a sense of humor. Without it, you are doomed.

Ruby, bless your heart.

No, you absolutely should not die over this, or anything else at all. It was a minor, minor MINOR mistake. They happen. If she wasn't mad, then you've no reason at all to be upset. If she was upset, then I'd tell you that it's very petty of her to be angry over such a small slip of the tongue. It's nothing.

I work in fast food to help pay off some of my college debts during breaks. If I had a quarter for every person I've messed up with, I'd be rich. Half of them got mad at me, because, you know, Heaven forbid you should get the wrong soda or pickles on your burger (not like you can pick them off, right? -_-). The only thing you can do is acknowledge it and move on. It doesn't do you a bit of good to punish yourself over it. And compared to me messing up an order, a slip of the tongue, especially one that's a compliment, honestly, isn't anything to be upset over.

So relax, and try to calm down a bit. You haven't messed anything up, and everything is going to be okay.

Hugs,
Harley

Harley is right! It was a compliment! You should not die because you paid someone a compliment.

[Leed]

Sweetie, you already acknowledged it -- now leave it alone, and just go on like nothing happened, ok? No need to beat it to death. You didn't do ANYTHING wrong. You gave her a compliment!!! All you did is basically tell her that you thought she was GREAT!!!

So stop beating yourself up, okay? You're a great employee, and you must like your boss. So now let it go, okay? You're just fine. God bless and please take care of yourself. Big hugs, Lee

Ruby, waiting to hear back from you. I agree with everybody here, it sounded like you handled it fine!
