Awwww, does little Timmy need some pitty from John Q Public? Perhaps they would give you some tissue and let you rest your head on their shoulder as you sob away to them. Then you can walk away reassured that some stranger now feels bad for you. If you really give a rats a$z about what some random passenger perceives then you really have your priorities out of whack. Instead try projecting some pride and professionalism instead of being a cry baby.
