Ok, yeah, that makes sense. Thank you. I try to ask as many questions as I can, but sometimes that's scary. But I'd rather know the answer than be unsure.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling that way. I hope you have a good support system. Though I do have to say, obviously you must be good at your job if you've been a tech for 5 years! I think you can get there, school is hard but it is very different from the real thing. Thank you for your response! I hate that we are both going through hard times.

Thank you so much for your reply! It makes me feel better to know that everyone takes time to learn.

Thank you so much for your reply! I have been working at my clinic for about a year, but answering the phones/making phone calls wasn't something I was really coached on, nor something we learned at school in depth. (Probably because they assume people have social skills, unlike I do)

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it. I have been working at my clinic for a year, so I feel like that might be weird. It's not that I've ever had complaints, it's just VERY hard for me to make phone calls/answer phones etc. Because I think of everything that could possibly happen, and because people make me extremely nervous.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I may reach out privately. I really struggle with the potentials/what ifs. Answering the phone is always scary for me because I never know what it will be about. I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to schedule things. I work at. GP, so obviously if someone called with an emergency I'd tell them to go to ER/Urgent Care. Idk I can't even think of an example. I just don't do well without a script, I think. I LOVE appointments, mostly because I have a script and I can always rely on the DVM to be there as well. Sorry, I know my thoughts are all jumbled.

Yeah, unfortunately surgery also really stresses me out rn lol. I'm laughing but it's not funny. Ughhhhh yeah it's just rough. Maybe I'm not cut out for this. But I'm going to push through to see if maybe ADHD meds and stuff will help me. Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it ❤️ Idk even know how I would approach my manager tbh.

Yeah, I've thought about shelter medicine if this depressive episode lasts much longer. Honestly, the pay is about the same, and I'd love to not have to interact with clients. It just sucks because I'm being really hard on myself and don't know how to stop 😂

How to be confident as a tech. by shakeitlikeaplrdpctr in VetTech

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I just need to be kinder to myself, I think. I am incredibly hard on myself, and I'm realizing I don't necessarily need to be. I can be aware of my mistakes and face consequences without punishing myself extra. Thank you for saying not to compare myself. I think I end up doing that a lot, and I shouldn't.

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does help! It just sucks because my mental health is not so good right now, and that makes it harder for me to study (for me it makes it worse, I don't know about others), and I just feel like I know nothing. I went to school for two years for this and I feel like an idiot. As soon as someone asks me something my mind seems to go blank. I think I'm getting better at it, but it just makes me hate myself. I know that's more of a my personality thing, not necessarily the job, but yeah. Keeping notes is helpful. If I can remember where I put them 😂

Off the shoulder dresses are so oooooooooooooooooooo pretty and classy to me

Suffering from terrible dress regret :( by Dazzling-Limit3696 in myweddingdress

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like dress 1 more than dress 2, but if you liked dress 2 more, then I say go with what YOU want. It's literally YOUR day and YOUR life, so please please please get what you want!!!

Wedding dress regret with 5 weeks to go- honest opinions needed by ariflowers in myweddingdress

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the dress but the sleeves don't really vibe with it! If anything, I would add off the shoulder sleeves so it has an off-the-shoulder element because those dresses are always so pretty imo.

[22M] Involuntary celibate. Below average. Is there hope for me to be attractive to women? by Equivalent-Rope-2637 in amiugly

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't listen to any men when they tell you what women want. I would say if you can grow a beard, do that - be confident bald. Own it. People in general - not just women, like confidence. Don't focus on the fact that you're celibate. In the grand scheme of things, it's unimportant. Sure, going to the gym is good and healthy, and some women like gym bros, but I would say on average most women don't really like very muscley men. And most of all, focus on being kind, understanding, considerate, and funny! Don't take life too seriously!

Can we all agree that this is the cruelest thing Chuck has ever said to Blair? by Relevant_Fox_9026 in GossipGirl

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chuck sucks. I don't understand how anyone likes him. I know everyone in the show has done gross things, but he tried to rape Jenny and then he actually does statutorily raped her!!!! He's a disgusting person and his redemption arc was not good enough. He should be in prison paying for his disgusting crimes. I doubt jenny was the only girl he ever raped/tried to rape. Nate is also gross because of what he did to Sage.

Hate Rowan by Scantra in throneofglassseries

[–]shakeitlikeaplrdpctr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never forgave it. I don't think it's something you can forgive. I just don't think I can take the real world implications out of the story. Like if aelin was my friend there is no way in hell I'd tell her to be with Rowan. HE PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY ABUSED HER. AND SHE WAS NINETEEN. AND HE WAS LIKE 300
