Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I'm at work right now and thinking about how people get angry when you do certain things but then if you wouldn't do them they would still get angry. I'm realizing now that like ... I'm not responsible for what these people feel. I'm not responsible for their emotions. Who ******* cares if what I decide makes them angry? If I'm deciding it to make my life easier, then that's that. I cannot waste my life focusing on others and worrying if they're gonna be mad at me or how they're gonna react. Idk I was just writing an email to someone about picking up a tshirt and I realized I've been trying so hard to like micromanage all of my actions to prevent someone from being mad at me, and then like prophesying how they would react about something and getting angry preemptively ... but **** that. I don't care that you wanted to pick up your tshirt today. I made a decision and that's that. Your feelings are not my concern. I don't mean this in a "**** your feelings they're not important" manner, but in a "I'm not going to bend over backwards to protect you from feeling angry". Feel angry. That has nothing to do with me.
