Feeling low

I had some posts about mean girl bosses at the mall in the last year or so.

I’ve been out of school since last December. I was waiting for the pandemic to be over but it keeps on going. I’ve been sleeping few hours and have been having trouble getting on the regular adult schedule of waking at 6am. I wake up anywhere between 9-11am.

I have to look for a job but feel hopeless about the prospect of being in another hostile work situation. It keeps happening over and over again. And the last job interview i was on the guy was talking to himself saying how sad i looked and asked himself if i was a loser. I didn’t get the job but I wouldn’t wanna work for a jerk like that.

I don’t know how anyone would want to hire a sad person. It always seems like they just hire happy smiling people.

Keep trying, I agree with Trina, not all people are mean. I would ignore statements that aren't meant for my ears. Whether somebody is talking to themselves or to others. Take things at face value. If it isn't said to you, pretend you didn't hear it. Or ask the person to speak up and let them know you heard them. Otherwise it is assumption.

And yes to counseling. Not that anything is wrong with you, but for what you have been through.

I know in life, not all people are going to like me.. Some might even be envious. People get jealous. But I get along with over 50% of the people I meet. Even if I don't talk to them I try to smile.

I hope you find a job that you like. Have you thought about a different line of work? Have you thought about taking some classes to learn something new?

I wish you the best.

Hugs, Karen...
