friends help: is it wrong that i feel betrayed or am i just insanely too sensitive and acting like a baby? - Help.com

is it wrong that i feel betrayed or am i just insanely too sensitive and acting like a baby?

I needed a job desperately a month ago and got one at this local diner. anyways the head manager was your “brooklyn hard ***”. before i got the job i had walked to the bus stop to turn in my application and on that day i saw an old face. (we’ll name her K) well i told her that i was going on an interview and that they were also looking for more people. to be honest i didnt want her to come with ME (i didnt care if she went or not i just didnt it want to be with me) because i was embarrassed by her and i didnt want the head manager to judge me by the people he thought i hung around with. i mean i didnt really know this girl and was it wrong of me to be embarrassed by her??? (incase he was one of those judgemental people who liked goody goody people) anyways i got the job and later find that the head manager said hed call K in 2 weeks. It seemed everybody was nice and work was going okay until i had to work with him(head manager) one morning. Boy was that place BUSY! and it had only been about a week since I worked there as a hostess, easy job i geuss but this is thing with that even though i knew what i had to do and would have loved to gone ahead with my actions i was always second geussing my self and held back bc i didnt want to make a mistake and everybody assume im some know it all (get what i mean? it was a new job and awkward enough feeling like the newbie out of a group of people who have known each for so long…) i also get flustered very easily in such a hectic environment and geuss i didnt look like the restaurant material too him. i can promise you that i worked hard and did all that i had to do…but then i found out from K she got a call back after the 2 weeks i worked and after that one morning i worked i never got a call back or schedule…you should know even though i was embarrassed of K af first we kinda became friends after that and hung out and she wasnt that bad at all. anyways im prob just mad cause i thought we were kinda friends and she didnt return my calls and when i called her back after missing her call she wouldnt pick up. (darn it i sound such like a sorry a**) well, i was expecting a call believing i was going to take over the sunday shift since thats what the second manager told me but it looks like they gave the job to her…and maybe im just jaelous and it bothers me because im soo prideful. why couldnt they have called me to tell me that they replaced me with someone else? i understand its not her fault so im not even gonna say anything to her about it and even though i know i am a very hard worker with honesty and integrity, i geuss i just wasnt compatible and i understand it wasnt the head managers job to try and understand and get to know me but is there seomthing wrong with me. it caught me off gaurd. i try to make sense of this but maybe i just need to vent. so yesterday i called after waiting a full two weeks wondering when i should pick up my check and already knowing i wasnt wanted there anymore… the second manager said i can pick it up tomorrow at 5 and i went and then he told me the head manager’s wife took them home with her bc i didnt pick it up in those 2 weeks and that itd be mailed to me…wth? so now i just wasted my time going there…im so irritated because how is the head manager gonna talk and get all up in my face telling me what to do about such crap and not gonna tell me ive been replaced or not and give my check? i mean hello im not a psychic! tell me whats up. i dont know am i wrong? what do you think? well another lesson learned. maybe im just looking for some sympathy but tell me honestly shouldnt they have AT LEAST let me know? was i technically fired or did i quit without knowing? it feels unfair to me because they didnt let me know and feel betrayed by K even though it isnt her fault. im sucha baby, again what do you think? anything!

Can you boil that down a bit? I got about half way through reading it before I just couldn’t go further. (You’d make a good stream-of-consciousness writer)

p.s., I would NOT have taken a random-joe with me to a job interview. Ever. I wouldn’t take my mother either — anyone really. That was a bad move :/

Why’d you do that anyway?

cause i didnt have the guts to tell her i wanted to go by my self. i knew i shouldnt have said anything and just do what i had to do. i mean its my fault and i was dumba** with a big mouth. oh well maybe it was GOD’s way of telling me that i shouldnt be working there? or a sign to study hard and graduate college and get an easier job. too bad theres no such thing as a perfect anything, not even one thing is perfect. i could have stayed at my old desk job as a secretary but that was too boring and even though the diner job was hard and hectic at least it made time fly. i just hate this feeling of being “dissed” i hate i and cant stand it. i wont be able to sleep tonight unless i gulp down 5 shots of jack daniels and knock my self out haha

If you want so empathy here it is. I think you know yourself very well and you get into scenarios and can understand what is going on. I think you have a lot going for you and would be very well suited to some kind of social work, helping children or families in crisis (I don’t know), you seem to be very thoughtful about others and very much in touch with yourself. These are just immediate thoughts I don’t really know what’s going on with you - keep writing stuff down and communicating your thoughts to others at the moment you seem to be running at a million miles an hour.

Go treat yourself to a nice dessert! YUM!
