I am six days in on Stage 2 and I had something happen at work, where I am amazed myself about how I was able to keep my composure. I was talking with a co-worker about some stuff, when I said something that he was offended by (which I found out a few moments later he was BS'ing me). Well, the comment I made was perfectly a legit and reasonable comment that I saw no problem with. However, he said if you say that again, I am going to kick your a$$. I told him, you're going to kick my a$$ over something that is totally true, you make no sense right now. Then I said the comment again to him in a sarcastic way, which at that point he grabbed my work hat I had on my head.
At that point, I literally just stared him down and said in a tone "Give my hat back now!" As I said that, I could feel myself in the present moment, that I was in complete control of my emotions. After a few moments, I got the hat back and at that point he told me I was just BS'ing you. I won't mention what I said because it will violate some of the polices on this forum.
So, I will say that my second time around on stage 2 is totally different than before. I am so far able to keep my emotions in check and stand up for myself without losing my composure. Plus, I have notice I am releasing the need to care about what other people think about me.
