Speaking to work colleagues outside of work, I revealed that I went out on a date, the usual questions were asked. What’s their name, what do they do jobwise etc.
When I mentioned the fact that future goals aligning with mine are important, everyone laughed at me…it made me feel humiliated and I didn’t understand why they found it so funny.
It was the first time I met this person so I didn’t kiss them or have sex with them and we didn’t touch at all. They all thought this was weird! I don’t understand why, we went to a cafe, we chatted and went for a look around a museum and went for a nice walk after.
They then called me a 12 year old….I’m almost 30…..
This seems like meangirl behaviour and bullying to me, or am I overthinking it?
It has affected me if I’m honest as I had a mini meltdown this morning and didn’t want to get out of bed due to feeling depressed.
This is my 5th workplace in 2 years and the only one that chose to keep me on, I’ve always struggled fitting in and thought I could be myself with these people and they even invited me into their home to spend Christmas with them, but after this I’ll probably go back to masking myself again as I don’t feel like I can trust them anymore.
