As a mental health virtual assistant, I need to get out of my own way, learn not to take things so personally, and continue to extend compassion, knowing that I did everything I could to make it a pleasant interaction, but sometimes, that’s just not enough, but that’s okay; I still care. I understand that people have bad days, but that doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. I’ll still be kind. And I hope that kindness will make a difference to ease some of the difficult situations you’re going through.
