One of them moral dilemmas...

[spinelstar]

What do you do when someone hurts your feelings without meaning to, and they didn't even realize it?

Is it even worth telling them about it? What if you feel like maybe it's your own fault that it bothered you in the first place? Would you really want to bother them with it?

But what if you're just bottling it up inside and it's starting to affect the way you relate to other people?

Talking about it behind their back would be gossiping, right? But why confront them if they didn't mean to hurt you?

Is there some way to fix yourself and make it so that it doesn't bother you anymore?

I've always wondered about things like this. This happens to me a lot. I guess it comes with being hypersensitive, having low self-esteem, and being afraid of confrontation...

I've found that its best to mention it and explain since they probably don't want to do it again.

Its a hard thing to decide when do you let it pass and when not. I think if they're someone you trust and care about then they'll want to know and understand.
