the case of the "coworker that knows exactly what I'm thinking and exactly what to say" strikes again
#aka she stopped by my desk today and said#''i have to say something to you. you don't have to look at me while i say it nor do you have to say anything back''#''what you are experiencing is trauma. you didn't need to be in the building for it to affect you.''#''i need you to really listen and understand that something really shitty happened to you and im sorry''#''it isn't a failure to ask for help or for time off or to drop out for a little while''#and i think someone warned her abt how i was acting bc she was then like#''pretending that you don't feel anything does not mean the trauma isn't there''#and i. ofc. cried like a baby#how in the world does this women always know EXACTLY what i need to hear#the ''you don't have to look at me or respond while i say it'' is what got me. like. girl you can see right through me huh#anyways i feel a bit guilty bc im worried she thinks she has to be a second mother to me now#and while i definitely need it (lmao) i don't want her to feel pressured to always Be Compassionate Like That to me#like. i am an adult and we ARE just coworkers#but man. to be percieved (affectionate) but also to be perceived (derogatory)#or whatever#i work with so many mothers that are way more touchy and wise than my own mother lol#like one of them has stopped me at the door every day since it happened and asked me if i was REALLY okay#and like. i guess they all could tell i was lying?? idk#i think my boss has been pulling people aside and telling them to take it easy on me for a while but i dont know for sure so#anyways. i also have had 1 day off in the last two weeks#all the better to dissociate through i suppose but man. i love money#this post is all over the place
