[quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe the lack of empathy here. People are allowed to have their feelings hurt and it doesn’t make them snowflakes, it makes them human. This doesn’t need to turn into a whole discussion on professional expectations or sexism in the workplace. She doesn’t need a lecture or for you to convince her nothing is wrong. (Plus, the notion that women’s feelings are ridiculous and they need to “buck up”.....is sexist). What she needs is a safe space to talk and for you to listen. These kinds of conversations a important for reducing stress. You don’t need to fix the problem, fix her, or rationalize it away. 99% of the time when I’m upset, I just need to tell someone, know they’re listening, and have them respond with “yea screw that a-hole” so I know they’re on my team. Read about Gottman’s Stress Reducing Conversation. It’s about how to have these conversations. https://www.gottman.com/blog/how-to-stress-reducing-conversation/[/quote]
