"I can take care of myself"

Post Reply New Topic

So we just got a brand new cat cafe in our city and being that I am a huge fan of cats, I decided to make reservations to go this morning. It was while I was there that I was mainly overwhelmed along with feeling jittery and funky after drinking an iced coffee while also enjoying my time playing with the cats and talking to the staff and all but one cat lover.

As I was trying to keep one cat from escaping as one this one lady was in the process of leaving, I was telling the poor cat "No" and the the woman replied with, "You don't have to do that." I responded with "Who me?" She seemed to get upset and say to me in a really "Catty" tone, "I can take care of myself," before opening the door leaving.

Can anyone interpret why she got mad at me? I wasn't even talking to her either.

Thanks for the interpretation. She also did not make any reservations to visit the cats so the staff had to put her and a few people out before all of those who paid to play could go in. I am wondering too if she as also mad because she had to leave as well?

I've had that happen many times to myself, and still am having difficulties. This is why I don't like it when people try to tell me to lighten up, because when I lighten up how am I supposed to keep it light around me? What I especially discovered was that one day my friend told me that I can't pull words out of my head and expect people to be happy about them.

Trust me I have been there many times, and still am there. I even searched up the word silly, and found that it is difficult when applied to those with autism, because silly is seen as serious with autistic people.

The best thing I think that can be done is not worrying about other people's reactions, and enjoy yourself.

1. I am not worried about this anymore but I have simply learned it's the unpredictability of other people that gets.
2. She didn't seem silly but rather seemed and was "Catty" (I am trying not to swear). I think she was mad about being kicked out of the cat cafe.
