a coworker tried to order me around and shook his head at me when I didn't finish mopping the floor; I had already stayed an extra half an hour past the time I was supposed to leave, and he was still on his shift!

Can he do that? He's not your boss.

I'm really sorry you feel this way, Tally. Some people don't understand sensitivity, and especially so in the workplace. I hope you feel better later. Chat to me if you need to.

I feel sick, tired, emotional, and pushed around. I couldn't fall asleep until 5:00am last night. I wish I could unread these things I have taken in. My father took me out this afternoon on a local lake and I just wasn't feeling in the mood. He also had his truck smashed in while we were gone and was screaming with anger when we came back and it was unbearable. I suspect my brother has anorexia (or even depression), he's never around to talk to, and it's as if I don't know him anymore. He used to be my best friend. I have nobody to talk to in person. A lot of people on here at this point of my life know me better than my parents do.

I'm sorry :( I know how you're feeling somewhat, I am feeling similar myself.

Too bad we can't commiserate over a carton of ice cream :p (just kidding)

Apparently I'm too sensitive for this ****ing world. People treat me like I'm inferior to them, it's like they can sense weakness a mile away and take advantage of it as soon as they pick up on it.

Went home from work crying after a coworker tried to order me around and shook his head at me when I didn't finish mopping the floor; I had already stayed an extra half an hour past the time I was supposed to leave, and he was still on his shift! I'm only supposed to be working part-time and as it is I'm doing 40 hours! (I have to speak to my managers about that). I told him I had to leave and he had an attitude and said "Bye" dismissively. He keeps treating me this way, this isn't the first time. But I'm too scared to be assertive. I really really want to be but I get sooooo nervous.

I hate people. The majority of them are *******s. They laugh at you when you cry and mock you when you feel sad, or when you talk about why you are sad. But when you stand up for yourself they mock you then, too.

I am sure I am overreacting, but that is because I am extra sensitive to these things to begin with. I ****ing hate it! I don't WANT to be. But I have been since I was about 5 years old. It's never gotten better as far as assertiveness goes, no matter how many times I have had to confront someone, the fear is the same.

I was so upset I almost thew up in the bathroom, I was just shaking with anger. I don't know what to do.

Sorry for the pity party, I had to dump it here, I just feel horrible.

Hopefully I'll feel better after I cry it all out...

It really does not seem like you're asking for a pity party, I can relate when it comes to similar situations of feeling weak when attacked. It really suck when hearing anyone who has to go through this especially at their jobs. Try not to put to much thought into him. It helps to be assertive sometimes when you put new perspectives on the situation that is troubling you. I hope you feel better too.
I still get the jitters and weak stomach when certain people do it, but I've gotten better at being assertive by finding out how to make less things get to me. ~Tata, sorry.

^ Wow, Lyra. Sorry to hear about your day. ::(: I understand completely what you're going through at work though. I was treated the same way at my old job, mostly because (and this is my theory) I was the youngest one working there. I was only 16 whereas all my coworkers were 20 or older, so to them I was automatically the inferior one and so they thought they could boss me around however they wished. That includes working a half hour to an hour over just to do their work. It sucked and I didn't last more than 3 months, but that's okay. I was extremely happy and relieved once I left. Sadly though, I haven't had much of a real job since.

Don't feel bad for venting here. Vent to your heart's content if you wish. Better to talk than to hold it all in. I hope tomorrow is a much better day for you. Hang in there. :)

I am the same way, I tend to get so upset when people criticize me or try to boss me around in any way, even if it's indirectly. I have found, however, that as I get older the ability to shrug off the criticism and do things my own way has gotten significantly easier. Hopefully with more years under your belt you will be able to show your assertiveness more.

I hope so. At least I'm not alone. It's so hard to have to take that feeling home with you though, the feeling that you are pathetic and inferior to some *******s you work with. It's not true, but I feel it so strongly I almost believe it.

Lonely.
You'd think after being around so many people this week I'd want to be alone, but for once I still crave social interaction and conversation.
Hm, whatever. I'm also very tired. It's been a long day. I guess I'll just go to bed. Alone. Because my cat has been too selfish this week to spend the night with me. :rolleyes:

Sorry, Phoenixx. Loneliness is terrible. Have a wonderful sleep.

Nyquil really works wonders. I just couldn't shake the sad/angry feeling, and wasn't sure if I'd be able to sleep peacefully. I haven't had Nyquil in a long time, so I took a dose of it to calm me (it also helps that it cleared up some of my allergy symptoms a little too).

I'm feeling worlds better. It's not only sedating, but for some really weird reason it gives a slightly euphoric feeling. And while technically anything can be addictive, it doesn't have any especially addictive ingredients in it, so no fear of that, haha. It does have acetaminophen though, so have to be careful because of your liver.

Ahhh, some peace. I really need to get on some kind of tranquilizer. I think most of my problems - from SA to BDD - stem from just being constantly on edge, anxious, nerves tight. I don't know WHY. It's absolutely awful. But it feel so nice to have a break from it once in a while...

Edit: The main ingredient in Nyquil is the antihistamine doxylamine succinate, and this is what Wikipedia has to say about it: "Doxylamine is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistamines and has anti-allergy power superior to almost every other antihistamine on the market, with the exception of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It is also the most effective over-the-counter sedative available in the United States [2] and is more sedating than some prescription hypnotics. One study found that doxylamine succinate was more effective than the barbiturate phenobarbital for use as a sedative."

Nyquil is intended for colds, but it does work for allergies too! That explains that for me hehe. Also the most effective over-the-counter sedative in the US, even more sedating than some prescription hypnotics. WOW. That explains the extreme calm and euphoria I'm feeling. Man, I wish I could just take Nyquil every day to soothe my anxiety. Too bad.

I know probably no one is going to read all that, but I couldn't stop myself from posting it. Really interesting.
