 Finally confronted my upstairs neighbor for doing what sounds like practicing shot put. 

Somehow it ended with me apologizing to her. 

And she didn’t apologize to me. 

This is why I’m not good with confrontation. 
 need help? 
 confrontation is tough  
 Classic people pleaser.... but "it's not about what I see it's what you see" ...

You need one of these my man!

 Eye for an eye tater. Make friends with the tenant above her and make some noise 
 Short put? At least there was something to discus 
 Time to sack up bro

 I know this type of person, all too well

Their the worst  
 Since you did not ask for my advice, here it is: try not to frame it as “confrontation” internally. Just a talk or sth.. And come with a reasonable proposal: hey, it would be nice if you would not do that during these times of the day. In any case: do not give up. Try again!
