Gulp

That's me swallowing my pride. I had to apologize for saying some things that unintentionally made one of my friends feel devalued about a past relationship. I don't know how well it went; I've been wanting to say something for a week, but didn't figure it was appropriate in an email, or even a telephone conversation, though that's where it ended up happening. I wanted to speak to him in person, but its awkward when there are always other people about. I don't really want the entire office/department to know what I'm saying.

So, I ended up calling him because I was just feeling awful whenever I thought about that situation. The problem is I don't know how well it was received. I'm not great at reading people's facial expressions and body language, but I'm better at that than I am at voice inflection. I don't really know what I was expecting in return, not that he said much, but I hope that I was able to clearly communicate my regret for making him feel bad because that was clearly not my intention.
