two years ago, i went on a job shadow for a newspaper job to sell times newspaper. job shadow is where i follow someone and watch how they work. ok, i was with this dude to watch him sell newspaper. it started out ok but then he became hostile. he asked what i do, my interest and i always get a negative feedback. he asked if im a quiet person but i said no and since i was quiet the whole trip, he kept commenting and telling me to talk. he said its disrespect to him that i wont talk. i started getting overwhelmed and uncomfortable. he made fun of how i talked and i felt that he was picking on me. he would insult me and call me all kinds of name. i suppressed the urge to cry and he said i looked pissed which i probably was. i didnt like the experience because it involves alot of walking and constant social interaction. in the end, i turned down the job and when i got home, i was traumatized and horrified. now, i am reluctant to get a job.
