BEST

I have managed to intimidate my fake boss, and it feels wrong. I want to take it back.
I realize that my fake boss- who is a good decent guy- is worried about being disliked.
I get this. From directing, it's a horrible when people reject your authority. But he was over the top in his badgering me.

Today he seemed flushed. He kept shaking my hand and saying. we're friends now, right?

I feel bad. And I apologized to him for being so emotional. I explained that I was going through a lot.

I think my instinct is right. Everyone is good. There is no point confronting people because everyone is doing their best.
