A friend walked past without saying hello.

"They must be mad at me."

Felt anxious and avoided them later.

"Maybe they just didn’t see me."

Heart started racing and hands felt sweaty.

My boss pointed out a mistake in my report.

"I always mess things up."

Felt disappointed and wanted to give up.

"This is an opportunity to learn."

I got an email from my supervisor with the subject "Urgent."

"I must have done something wrong."

Took a deep breath and checked the email calmly.
