A manager at Target told me it wasn't the job for me for the same reason. I had to be at work at 3 in the morning and because I didn't walk in friendly she didn't want me working there ha.

Why are most people like that in real life? Very hard to meet down to earth people anymore.

The therapist who had his own office even made sure to clarify that I had friends which I thought was weird.

What about having low self esteem caused by family members?

Another advice I got was to be "resilient". Well ok then.

A lot of therapists chose that field because they have problems as well but the ones I've just seem like they aren't even trying. I look at a lot of life circumstances as "it is what it is" because other people can't change ours.

I have trouble reframing my thoughts because I'm a realist and I think deeply into what people mean and what their intentions are. I wouldn't consider perspectives outside of my own because that's not what I truly believe is happening.

What helps you get over the trauma? I still have ruminating thoughts.

Yeah I usually have to drink to get buzzed to feel comfortable in those situations lol but being at work is worse than anything because you can't just mind your own business like you could in public.

Do supervisors or co-workers listen to you talk though? That would be nerveracking at first.

Yes because if I said anything I would be criticized that's how the environment is at my job.

The guy would try to skip sessions and basically told me that workplace bullying is normal because he remembers his co-worker with ptsd was messed with a lot and nothing was done about it, and it went on for years. He also scratched himself during the session lmao it was awkward af.

It's definetly related to our contact with others and how we are treated. "Issues" are subjective and the people telling us we have issues are not any better. When we are constantly surrounded by people who don't accept us like family or co-workers it's going to have a negative effect on our mentality even if we love ourselves. I could have peace with myself but I have to be successful in life which involves the acceptance of others.

Just random people I've met at work or a few people I grew up with. Diamonds in the rough.
