sooo...

i am really not good with dealing with people who cry. today a co-worker, actually one i hang out with, wasn't feeling well and started crying near the stairs. i think she has a really high fever and apparently was a little delirious. several people went to ask her if she was ok but i just sat in front of my computer. before you get all, "you're so insensitive. you don't care..blahblahblah!" I just want you to know that the reason why i didn't go to help her was that i didn't know how. i never know how to react if someone's already crying. i usually panic or freeze and make matters worse. i thought about helping her but by that time the debate in my head was over, three other co-workers have attended to her. if it was any other co-worker, i think i wouldn't feel so guilty but she has been nice to me and i feel like i should have done something. anything. i hate feeling helpless and guilty at the same time.
