SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART
It's not unusual to impress people (lover, client, staff, colleague, opposite sex, anybody). It's instinctive. We do it to represent who we think we should be or who we expect ourselves to be. Other times, we are honestly looking for attention

Because the client is more upset than pleased, you're angry and emotionally off. See, that problem started because you set an UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION in the heart of someone in an attempt to please them.
We do this even with our kids and partners and even parents. In an attempt to please them and appear RESPONSIBLE, we over-promise. We promise things we don't have or set timelines we can't meet only to throw out mental balance in the drain.
Next time,
1. give a longer timeline and deliver before it.
2. Ask fo help from someone else
3. Don't make a promise until you've checked out what it will cost in terms of money, time and people.
