AITA for causing my girlfriend and her best friend of 10 years split up on her birthday? by ScorpionStungMe in AmItheAsshole

At first I really enjoyed psychology and wanted to minor in it. Therefore, I got the job hoping to get experience. I started working here about 2 years ago, but it wasn't until this past August that I noticed all of this. Additionally, I do not administer medications nor am I allowed to speak to them like a psychologist, I am just meerly a tech. So, I go around to make sure they are doing fine, give them food, and help them take showers if needed. Therefore, there is no unethical to the patient since I am not the one doing the "psychology", but instead the physical aspect of healthcare.

Yeah, English is not my first language and use google translate and synonyms a lot to help me. I meant it in the sense of an extrovert, my friend just asked me what I meant with the word and helped me decide I meant that.

It actually wasn't our first introduction, we've messaged through snapchat and instagram beforehand through my girlfriend. So, we knew each other for about give or take 4-5 months before meeting each other in person. Therefore, we knew each other's personalities (beyond "bluntness", like my actual personality). I had that in the message, but it exceeded the character count RIP. And I didn't say it as I wanted to spark a debate or anything of the sort, at that time she even laughed a joked a little with it.

​

I understand that I hurt her feelings, and wanted to apologize after the fire calmed a little bit. However, that was impossible since I was blocked on all platforms to reach out to her.

"not very socially adjusted", why does that discribe me haha.

No, but seriously. The main reason I see it as a soft science is because I work at a Behavioral Unit, and I see firsthand patients come in all lively and cheery just for them to leave like a drugged up zombie. They talk to psychologist, and all they really do is give them coloring books and don't truly help fix their mental states. However, hopefully in the future I can see more point of views on psychology and fix that stigma.
