What do they think?

I always wonder what people think when I am being corrected by a boss.  They are more than likely not listening or paying attention, however I always think that they are.  Too many years of having people hear things and making fun of it.  Kids saying hurtful things seems to be impossible to ignore.  And heaven help those of us that are also sensitive to things.  It seems to that we are always looking at every situation as something that will hurt.
