AIBU to feel shaken after being criticised for blacking out at the airport?

[doorss]

Last night I returned back from a foreign holiday last night. I went with my parents and my godmother

At the foreign airport, DM cut her leg badly somehow with the either a luggage trolley or the barriers around the trolley park. Blood going everywhere. I have a phobia of blood and blacked out almost immediately. A couple of passengers ran into the terminal getting help. Whilst DF and GodM were getting tissues they had in their hand luggage. Another woman went up to my GodM and looked at me saying I’m a disgrace.

DM got first aid attention and was taken around the airport with assistance (airport was quiet). I recovered.

The four of us had a coffee, past security, and I went to the toilets with GodM. The woman who said I was a disgrace was there. She had a go at me. I said I have a blood phobia. She said I don’t care!

This woman’s attitude was horrible. I am not sure which flight she went on. She could have been on my flight- sitting on the opposite end of the plane.

I am still shaking from this woman’s attitude. I may not see her again.

Oh do piss off with your fluffy woe is her energy.

honestly people like you make problems that weren’t even there. In the real world we just carry on.

Well you are having a rotten Sunday aren't you @PixieTales 😂I suppose an empathy bypass must be a bit painful?

Oh a condition boo bloody hoo. Grow up live with your emotions this a joke now.

Nah just calling spades a spade

No actually @PixieTales you are not calling a 'spade a spade' you are making yourself sound rather silly.

Bless.

You feel triggered?

No @PixieTales I'm just a nicer person than you. Bye

@PixieTales

You tell people to "grow up", but you're not exactly acting in a very mature way yourself. (i.e. telling people to "piss off.")

So why not take your own advice and be a bit less puerile?

@PixieTales

And also in the real world, there is something called "manners".

I mean really? I would get the massive massive ick.

She sounds ridiculous!

But she’s just an isolated person. Doesn’t sound like anyone else had an issue with you.

I’m not the one sobbing at an airport because of a cut on someone’s leg. Seriously how pathetic.

I recovered.

😂😂😂

@PixieTales

No, but I would say you're being pretty rude. I don't think that's a very grown-up way to behave.

It’s not very grown up to ‘pass out’ at the sight of a small amount of blood that needed to be dabbed with a tissue. It’s ridiculous and over dramatic.

@PixieTales

Even if I agreed with that (which I don't), my point is that you yourself are not behaving in a grown-up way either (with your bad manners) so when you berate others for supposedly not being grown-up, you are being quite hypocritical.

And why have you ignored the comments which have explained that passing out at the sight of blood is an involuntary reaction caused by processes that take place in the body? You talk as though the OP fainted on purpose. She didn't. It was completely out of her control.

What on earth do you expect them to do about it? They passed out through no will or wish of their own - it’s just a reaction that they can’t help!

Sure. But "still shaking" about some random woman's comment hours/days later is pretty wimpy.

It’s pathetic and over the top. I agree with the women who witnessed it.

Don’t let random obnoxious people get to you.

Bless you do seem very naive.

Do you honestly think a grown arse woman would faint at a little sight of blood?

No OP is being over dramatic looking for attention (the fact she hasn’t returned speaks volumes) She is attention seeing and looking for sympathy at to be honest yes it is embarrassing and cringry.

Would you feel the need to say it to a random stranger or her companion or would you roll your eyes and get on with your own day?

Yes there is time between starting to feel faint and blacking out. And you also wake up after but can’t stand straight up for a good 10 minutes (because if you do you’ll pass out again as the blood leaves your head). Plenty of time to hear her around the unconscious 10 seconds that is the actual faint

Not much you can do even if it’s children. It’s not about growing up it’s a nervous system response that cannot be controlled. You might as well tell a paraplegic to stand up or a schizophrenic to just be better.
