Two ladies sitting across from us did witness it. They were giving me smiles and sympathetic looks. One said, it had happened to her not long ago.
I felt sorry, for the anxious lady as she was beside herself at what had happened.
I thought to myself, l can go home and wash my jeans and they will be ok but you will go home and still be the same in the morning and thereafter.
I have thought about it since and because l am confident and don’t have any problem mixing with and talking with new people, l don’t know any different.
It hadn’t occurred to me what an ordeal it must be for some people who don’t have confidence in themselves. The lady did tell me that her ex husband was a very strong person and he did everything. She never had to worry about anything as he did it all.
Now she was on her own, she was struggling.
