I could add more but “gasp” I am thinking about how some men might feel. Not me. Not hateful me. I could go on about what they have done to my life.
…and now that I am on their “don’t care” list I am suppose to se them as the victums of my hatred? I don’t hate anyone. I hate what has been done to me and I hate injustice and I hate that women will cast other women aside for men. I hate that men don’t see me as an individual.
I’m a big zero to men. They are not the poor little souls who are afraid to post in my thread. They don’t care. They don’t want anything I want to offer. I had one purpose in their minds and if I do not serve that purpose then what good am I to them? Men don’t respect women. We are tools to them. Women who buy into that hate other women who speak up and then they protect men.
Men have plenty of women out there ready to put the expendable women in their place. Men look out for one another. Women look out for men.
Women have to look out for themselves.
One of my biggest problems in life has been that the people who want to help me are always attached to the people who want to hurt me.
Of course the people who want to hurt me are clever enough to make sure they are attached to good people who protect them.
I am feeling down tonight after a very successful day at my job because after I did my job perfectly my manager had to remind me of a past failure of mine as a customer. This is after me coming in on my day off. So now I feel like a failure but guess what…whatever is trying to take me down is going to lose. I had something else traumatic that I had to handle last week at my other job out of the blue. It seems getting a new job and the possibility of success brings out the obstacles saying no you will not succeed. When I am making little money and in a rut nothing horrible happens to me unless I tried to change that. When I try to improve myself that’s when the obstacles really happen. Well guess what??? Nothing is going to stop me from improving my situation. I am beyond playing around with that…even if I have to put up an imaginary wall around myself I will not fail. If no one can touch me than I will not fail and all the worthwhile people are getting ready to knock me down because they don’t even want me to have the basics in life let alone anything more. Guess what???? No matter what they throw at me I am not going to lose. Get used to it. The people who want to knock me down are not going to win. I am upset right now and crying and they will do almost anything to make me cry and get upset in public but I won’t do it. If I have to take every herb, drink tea, to keep me from thinking about what they are trying to do to me I will. They are not going to win.
I would also like to add that many men do not respond to my thread because I call them out on what they get away with….and that’s the truth. They are not afraid that they will be hated. They couldn’t care less about someone like me…and you know what…I was a good person too with talent, intelligent and pretty. Their only problem with me is I talk. I don’t think I have responded to anyone in this thread without being grateful for their input. I am not buying that men are afraid they are going to be hated…they just don’t have the time someone like me. Let’s be real.
It’s very important for me to know that people know that I know the truth and the truth is that men are not afraid of posting in my thread. Men couldn’t possibly care less about me.
I am going to put my game face on tomorrow though. I am upset tonight but I will be unbeatable tomorrow. No one will get to me. I will not let them hurt me.
I am upset tonight thow. If only I could become cold and unfeeling then I would be successful.
I know Anita.
I wonder if I suffer from an anxiety disorder. I hate to be anxious all the time. I almost never know what it’s like to be comfortable in myself. Even right now sitting alone I’m anxious. “Am I doing the right thing? “I have a headache and I just want to be able to go to my room and hide.” “I have to go to a job and be nice but that always means talking to someone and I am afraid that my anxiety will come out.” I am good with social exchanges but if people expect more of me then I will be done for in my new job. If I am in an environment that’s friendly it has to be a completely friendly environment.
I have to treat my new job as it’s the first day everyday. My biggest fear is becoming too comfortable. I fear that because the more comfortable I get the more honest I get. That is not good. I have to appear happy and calm all the time because my true self is in pain and anxious and defensive. I feel threatened and want to run away. I have to find a way to deal with the small percentage of rude customers. I can be happy and accomodating 1000 times but 1 time I’m rude and impatient and that’s all that a boss sees. I am in my third day of training and I feel anxious. I am taking a supplement that is suppose to support calmness. I have to go and get ready.
Anita thank you…I can not process anything right now. I feel so much hostility around me. I wonder which is the fantasy world…when I’m feeling better or when I am feeling like this? I have you and this site but no one in front of me reaching out. In fact I feel people around me to be either indifferent or giving off a negative vibe. I have to get back to work but I can’t shake this feeling and I have no idea what I am going to say. I feel I should be past all this.
Thank you Anita.
I am feeling a tremendous amount of guilt right now. I have been hired by the new job I was seeking and start tomorrow morning. I go into my current job tomorrow afternoon. My current boss text me and asked if I could work a earlier shift and I couldn’t because of the new job. He never asks me to do this on Monday. It makes me think that my new job already called him as a reference. I am not even sure what set schedule they want me for but I told them that I would have to give my current job 2 weeks notice. I hope that is enough notice? If I can only get part time at my new job I would like to keep a couple of days at my current job. The transition is always rough.
I also feel guilty because I feel like I am abandoning the ones at my current job who I care for during the week. I have no medical benefits at my current job, I can not work longer hours because it is too physically demanding and my new job pays more…but all my decisions usually are based on how I feel. I love who I care for but my boss is not a joy to work with, I have no benefits other than the knowledge that I can give love and caregiving.
I am also anxious about this new job. It’s not my dream job and I have to work with the public again. I have to be calm. I can not cry or get upset even though the inevitable rude customers and mandatory rude co worker that I always seem to find at each one of my jobs will be there.
I am not meant for this world. I am so anxious right now. I feel like the only way I can deal with the public, my current boss, future boss, people I love, people I respect whom I feel I would be abandoning, animals that receive my care and hugs….I feel the only way I can deal with all of this is to be numb. I can never be numb though. To deal with my new job though it would be best if I was numb. Most people can deal with these things but I have trouble and usually have no one to guide me. This is the only place I can turn. I should be happy for myself for getting a new job that will lead to medical benefits but I can’t help being consumed by guilt. I feel awkward too because my current boss is not easy to talk to.
I can never be truly happy because I want to be creative and I want to have gone to school and want to have had my own home by now and I wanted to have a family but all I can do is work and feel anxious all the time. I hate that I have to work all the time. I hate living paycheck to paycheck. I hate having the will to help people and animals but almost never having the way.
I am just having a meltdown because I am worried about possibly leaving my current job and all this awkwardness. I have to tell him tomorrow that I have a new job and that I will have to cut down my days or have to give 2 weeks notice all together.
I am crying now of course. Why do I have to be upset all the time? I feel guilty and hate money. The need for money is keeping me from doing what I love and constantly scrounging.
I have to vent.
The problem Anita is that I haven’t thought of myself as special since I was about 11 years old. I believe in the song for sure. I believe in the words and the idea of it is what I really relate to. Thank you for mentioning it because I really do believe in it’s message. In reality I really believe it for other people and wanted to share it mostly for that reason. I guess I love the words so much because they really represent the ultimate destination for me. If I could get there where I believed in my own self worth without any help then everything would fall into place.
I have rewritten my goals and have made elaborate flash cards and felt inspired to pursue my goals again. A place that I have wanted to work at…it seems they have rejected me yet again. It’s a place that pays well, has excellent benefits but I am yet again rejected and kept in a job that takes it’s toll on me physically and has no medical benefits. I can’t see a doctor or afford to go to the eye doctor…I am sad because I know how good of a worker I am. Anyway, I will try to work through this. It’s been a stress filled couple of weeks.
I will try to get back on track.
I guess I just have seen men going out of their way for some women with little work from them to deserve anyone going out of their way.
I realize everything you are saying though.
I just have go get back on track.
I am sitting in my cafe feeling invisible. I have my goals in front of me in a book. I am trying to get back to them.
I got into it slightly with my boss yesterday because I was exhausted and I have to be at full strength to deal with him or at least 1/2 way there. He doesn’t care what comes up…if something comes up that is out of your control it is simply your fault. Nothing changes with him. The tide never shifts. I adjust to what comes up. He doesn’t. We are complete opposites yet I have to see him today yet again. I work when I am sick, I work even though my knee feels like it is going to fall off. He has more respect for people half my age who spend quite a bit of time on their phones when I won’t bring my phone with me on the floor. He only cares about things that can be seen by the clients getting done. I care about the inner workings and quality of care offered that is unseen. He cares about the surface; I care about what is going on underneath. I am yet again stuck working for someone like this. These people unfortunality always seem to be the ones in control today.
Getting sway from my boss…I felt bitter again yesterday. I feel taken advantage of. Younger people have no problem letting me do the heavier work because I will not cleverly not take my break at work to avoid being the extra person. You see at my work if you take s break you sometimes end up the extra person that has to do more strenuous work. My work ethic and my not wanting to stick someone else…of course I end up the extra person. What really frustrates me is (my boss again) is that my boss doesn’t give a flip that the younger people do this. He micromanages all over the place, tells you things you already know but doesn’t care if one worker basically lets another do more work than they do if they can get away with it. I felt/feel like a loser because no one wants to rescue me. No one cares that I am in pain. I worry about others but they fon’t worry about me. I come in every time someone calls out. I am responsible…I pride myself on being intelligent maybe not socially but I don’t feel my boss appreciates my intelligence because I do not respond well to his machine like personality in the work world. I can praise my boss for his organization skills and wanting things to be orderly but I don’t always see him as genuine and I think he lacks communication skills. I am an artist but I feel trapped and society the way it is today feels very suffocating for someone with an artistic personality. I am hurting my body and mind daily for very little money to just barely survive.
I am feeling trapped and unworthy again and feel that if I am hurt by it than I become even more of an outcast. I feel as if I have a rule from every other person on the planet. You will like your situation Lisa or you will not even get a Good Morning or so much as a Hi from any of us. One complaint and we ignore you…The woman sitting not far from you..”What can we do to help her?” That’s right, she is more important than you…and after she gets attention everyone states how courageous she is. That’s the way it is and you will like it.
The only thing that keeps me at my current job is my clients. I feel like I will abandon them if I leave.
If one man would just talk to me. Make an effort then I would feel a glimmer of hope.
