Had The Worst Day I've Ever Had At Work Today

Post Reply New Topic

I have the worst day that I've ever had at work today. Every customer that I had made me feel inferior. Several co-workers made me feel inferior. I am good at my job but, obviously many people don't think I am. I have never felt as bad as I've felt at work today. I makes me wonder if I even belong here and if I should even exist. I look at other people who have a perfect life and wonder why my life isn't as perfect as their life. I feel useless, stupid, sick, tired and unwanted. I also feel alone and feel like nobody understands my life. One co-worker tried to cheer me up by telling me that my life is not as bad as people who are dying of cancer. But, DAMN IT, IT IS!! !! ! What I have is just as bad as cancer only I cannot die from it. I hate to sound insensitive but I wish NTs could really see how bad our lives are. Maybe then, they could treat us with some respect!! !! NTs have it better than we do and they know it!! !! !

Work can be difficult, especially dealing with customers. From experience I've learned that it's harder giving up then it is taking it and appreciating the fact that you're doing something and have that to your credit. I would express my feelings towards the co-workers and let them know they can't act out unprofessional. It sounds like it was a busy day there. Maybe just look past the day and brush it off.. time goes by fast.

No one has a perfect life. They just look like they do.

NTs rarely know anything about us, but are often convinced they know everything.

Saying anything about irrelevant third parties' trials is pointless unless it helps to resolve the situation.

What, precisely, is wrong with your life? Maybe we can help.

Nothing is really wrong with my life. I just feel lonely and I feel that I don't matter in this world. I don't have a girlfriend. I'm only 22 and I've never had sex. I feel ugly. I feel that I will be alone for the rest of my life. I try to work hard at my job, but it's never good enough. I'm just frustrated.

Your co-worker is wrong.
I have ADD, Aspergers, Asthma, COPD, and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
I have recovered from full renal failure.
I'm also retired, and don't have a degree, so I can't find another job in the career I retired from.

Now, how do I feel about my life? I suppose it sucks, at least I could let it, but with the help of a lot of good people, and the support of family, I hadn't thought much of it, except it is pretty much as good as I can make it.
I certainly can't make it on my own. I depend a lot on others, some of them here on WP.
There are good people here, and they help me make it through each day.

Now that you know some of where I'm coming from, here is what I feel might help.
You told us how you feel - so that is a good thing. We share your pain - and each of us, in our own way feels some of it.
Because you asked, kind of indirectly, some of us will be moved to make suggestions that work for us.
Your Results May Vary, but what have you got to lose?

I like to listen to oldies (especially the Spinners, and Rubber Band Man), read a good SciFi Space Opera kind of escapist book, hear a few funny jokes, pick a few random words and do a google search on them, and see what's going on on youtube and facebook.

If you have a pet, you are ahead of some of us. If you volunteer somewhere to help people, you have another positive inflow of love.

The only secret I have to share with you is this:
If we want something, we have to give what we already have to make room for more. Eventually we become that.
example, if we need compassion, we give compassion - and give every last bit we have.

Perhaps if you pick just one angry customer, who is making your life hell, and if you can ask yourself, what can I do to make their day just a little bit better? Even if you don't do it right away, asking yourself opens the possibilities, and
maybe next time, you can make a difference in the life of another.

Does any of this make sense to you?
Hope so, but PM me if you want to talk.

Your coworkers need to be educated. They can't do that to you. Is there a higher up that you can talk to, about that? You could also try telling them that you have feelings, like they do, and you're not some disease to poke and prick at.

I've also haven't had sex, and I'm 35. I'm in no hurry to do so. Another thing that I don't like about today's society, is the pressure to have sex, and people think that if you've never had sex, tgan there's something wrong with you.

I hope that things start to improve for you, soon.

Thanks CockneyRebel. Things went much better today, thank God. I do have a great support system at work. My boss is great and understanding. She appreciates me and values me. I am fortunate to have that. I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before as I had to work late. It makes things worse when I don't get sleep for days and days. Anyway, things are better now. Thanks again.
