Take care. Do something to reduce your stress. "

Trying to make everyone happy, when I'm not, causes me GREAT anxiety!!! "

It's healthy to be conscientious of others feelings, but don't get so wrapped up in it. If you haven't done anything intentionally hurtful, don't worry about it. Or apologize and let it go after that. I know it's hard. Many of us are guilty of the same thing. "
