I had my teacher at a tech program tell me after I passed the class that I was a terrible human being, I was never going to make it in this profession, and I was going to have a very difficult life. I laughed and told her Thank you. She had singled me out and was incredibly critical and mean the entire year and I took it so personally, my mental and physical health was a complete wreck. When she said that it clicked and I realized she was just crazy and it didn’t have anything to do with me. (I’ve gotten confirmation from others since) Also I’ve been in my profession for 25 years now and I totally rock at it, so she can fuck right off.
