I remember in college I was telling somebody about my jet ski accident, how I got paralyzed, etc. and my voice kept cracking because I had a cold, but it happened when I was telling the dramatic “then I got a spinal cord injury” part, so it seemed like I was about to cry. So I told her “My voice is cracking because I have a cold, not because I’m crying” And she kept saying “ It’s OK to be emotional. It was a big deal.” 

That happened 3 times and oooo it made me so mad (but I didn't show it because she meant well) (but now here I am, thinking about it 13 years later)
