I can relate to being distracted for a time before a meeting and unable to focus on something else in preparation for it, but these lines stuck out in a way I can't relate:

> unpleasant if I end up not liking the person > Their tone, manner of speaking, their emotions. That can ruin my whole day.

Why should this person demand that they like or are liked by everyone, and why should it ruin their day to keep things professional? That sounds extremely highly-strung.
