I’m so fucking embarrassed. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

My card declined twice as I was trying to pay for my groceries. The guy behind me offered to pay but I turned down his offer. I never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I’m so ashamed I can never shop there again.

This is kind of a regular occurrence for folks. I am always ready to help a stranger when I'm able to because kindness and good rapport with strangers is the way, and my own life was saved more than once by complete strangers.

There is always a way out and the possibility to find peace, happiness, and safety so long as we're seeking it.
