Venting People really suck

[Lullaby]

I do some volunteering every Wednesdays, as it's pretty much my only opportunity of getting out and socializing anymore.

I'm going to pet grooming academy in May, and it's a big deal as I haven't worked or gone to school in 3 years because of my mental state. I shared the news with two of the staff and they just laughed at me, like it was the funniest thing ever.

One goes on to ask me if I had gone to college and I tell her I dropped out.

"But you did get your associates at least…right?"

Just pure judgement for no reason, I felt so small. Then she goes on to randomly brag about her car with a 360 camera, and the multiple vacations she's going on this summer.

I excused myself, went into the bathroom and cried. I've already been feeling so low about myself and my life, on top of the fact that I've been getting so anxious being outside now, I broke down.

It feels like the world is just breaking me down everyday. I prayed I wouldn't wake up this morning, and here I am again…I have to fight through another day of whatever this is.

Congrats on the pet grooming academy! I think that sounds pretty great. That was crappy that you were made to feel that way. These don't sound like very nice people, or at least they weren't behaving as though they are.

Some people can be very cruel and insensitive, I personally cannot stand most people. Other people can just make things worse. I think that people like that should just be ignored. I wish you the best.

Thank you. I'm not sure why they're that way, but I'm really shy in real life and I think people sometimes see that as an opportunity to go at me.

I believe that the overall line of conversation is one that people use to elevate themselves or make themselves feel "better than." Either that or it is clique-like behavior. You can't be in a clique without making a point of also excluding someone from the clique. Or something like that.

Also, I'm impressed that you are doing the volunteering, given that it is something that takes effort and is probably stretching you out of your comfort zone. Hang in there.

"Just pure judgement for no reason", insecure people are that way. Try not to let people like that get in head, you're better than them. Congats on the Academy!

Take no notice of what those ignorant people say, pretty much everyone on here can relate to your situation, including me so don't worry. Well done on getting yourself out there and socialising, that's a big thing, be proud of yourself. I too want to do voluntary work with animals, they deserve so much love
