Work and Anxiety: Hey

Hey

By Anonymous - 27/05/2021 00:01 - Canada

Today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and talk to my coworker because people have been saying I’m too shy. I say, "Hey" to a girl and she made fun of my voice. She’s the one who told me to talk more. FML

Today, I tried singing in front of my friend. She said, "That's a hilarious voice! You should use that voice when telling jokes!" FML

Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML

Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to talk to this coworker I like and ask her out for a coffee next door. She was dismissive, cold and rude, and filed a complaint with HR. FML

Today, I overheard a conversation between coworkers, during which my name was mentioned, then, "and then I followed her around for a bit, but she didn’t do it again." Everyone laughed. I've no idea what I did that was so funny. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to sing at an open mic night. I lost my cool halfway through because all I could hear was laughter. FML

Today, I had to call a customer. I usually try to avoid calling customers because I have a very prominent speech impediment. Well, it turns out the customer I called also has a speech impediment and thought I was mocking her. She hung up on me and filed a formal complaint with my company. FML

Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML

Well what the **** was that about? intentionally hurting your feelings? Forget that shit.

I’m sorry that you had to go through that OP. Some people can be quite cruel. Just rest assured knowing that people who act like that are generally not happy people. They usually act out by pointing out other people’s ‘flaws’ to divert attention away from their own perceived flaws and to temporarily make themselves feel superior. It’s far more a reflection of their character than it is of you.

Ah nothing like being kicked when you're already down. I'm sure they ENJOYED mocking you and shredding your confidence. She's probably juggling 3 boyfriends anyways, if not more...why put yourself through the humiliation?

nice guys don't come in last...they don't come at all. At least now you know there's no chemistry and you can quit lying to yourself. Meanwhile, they can get off on their cruelty, since they enjoy it so much.
