| psyching with myself |

I keep having these two issues:
first, if I find myself in an unpleasant situation about which I can still do something, I fail to do it for whatever reason.
Then, after the situation is over and I can't do anything about it, I can't accept the fact that the situation is over and that I can't go back fix it. Thoughts like "Why didn't I fix the situation when I could have !!" occupy my mind.
This has happened many times with all kinds of different situations, and even though I keep telling myself I'll get a hold of myself and stop this, I still fall back into these patterns from time to time, and I'd like to stop.
i.e. in a restaurant I asked for a dish X ($5), but got a dish Y($20), because it sounded similar to X, and X was taken off the menu a while ago, something I was not aware of. The waiter was new, but nevertheless should have caught this mistake.
I was disappointed cuz I wanted X (which wasn't on the menu anymore), and that Y was pretty expensive. The waiter was very nice and I was thinking if I want to call a manager/ask for a refund/etc... My partner said he'll eat it, so I thought that maybe I should put this to rest. Well, we didn't eat it as we ate other stuff, and ended up taking Y home, but the issue itself kept bugging me, so as we were leaving I informed the manager of the mistake, making sure he knows what has happened, and that the waiter was very nice, yet should have caught this. I also expressed my disappointment with X not being on the menu. Regular niceties and apologies were exchanged, and we left.
But the issue is still bugging me !!! I'm somewhat getting over it now, but I'd like to escape these issues altogether if possible. |
