I need to tell someone off but I already know I’m going to be close to tears when I do. And I don’t want her to see me crying.

And please spare me any mention of how it is okay to cry. That’s not why I’m here.

    I don’t have advice – because In the past I have also had issues with voice shaking and tears when in emotional situations. No clue if I’ve grown out of it or have just been better at avoiding them.

    I need to tell someone off

    You might want to reflect on if you really need to. “Fuck off” and walking away is also sufficient. Delivering via a written message is also an option.

    If this is a work situation then my suggestions change dramatically.

      I’m a big fan of the strongly worded letter. Get to write and rewrite until it’s absolutely withering. And no one knows if you cried.
