Paranoia

I don't know if I was being laughed at today at lunch or not, but I've been very sick over past 7 days. Urinating blood, but was too busy to go to dr till yesterday. I have a bad UTI and have lost 5 lbs in 7 days cause I can't eat. So at work this young lady whose favorite movie is Mean Girls asked how I was doing. Then at lunch she was sitting with our version of mean girls and said something that made the meanest one laugh very hard, then she turned completely around and looked at me and smirked. It's not a great big deal but all those little things can add up to me feeling really crappie about myself.

I forgot to add that when she asked me how I was doing I told her about how sick I've been and about loosing the weight

it sounds like she said something inappropriate to the group to cause that one to turn and look at you...had you told her about the UTI? I do not think I would spend much time rolling around hurt over it I would just brush it off as poor people skills that they have....that showed with this incident...hugs bill

They sound like immature young teenagers to me. Seems like they're pretty insecure themselves, to have to get a laugh at someone else's expense. Don't pay them any mind. You just focus on feeling better. Your health is more important than these young "ladies" could ever be.

Well as your first line says you don't know if you were being laughed at or not. Try not to jump to the conclusion that you were.

Do they wear pink on Wednesdays? I'm always convinced people are talking about me behind my back, and it gets to me a lot. But if I could, I'd just blow it off because obviously they don't have anything better to do if they're focused on me. Whose life is so lame that they can't find something more interesting to talk about? Like SweetPetite said, they sound pretty immature. You're above that.

Wow. you work with animals. I had that in the deep south and it did me in terribly. But I now work with much nicer people, who don't behave like cave dwellers, and I feel so much better about myself and about life.

don't let their treatment of you get in. I know it's impossible, because it does get in. But hold somewhere in the back of your mind that when you get out of here, and move to the next job, you will not have to handle this behaviour.

PS she's probably DEAD JEALOUS you lost so much weight. I know I am for sho! :)

PS from now on whenever a single one of them asks how you are?

You're fine. Never better. Great! Box of birds. big cheerful smile. Ask how she is. Look caring.

don't be genuine and sincere with crooks and liars. they don't belong inside your soul, keep them locked out. :)

It's all good now. the good thing is I felt to sick to care that much, but just wanted to share so I wouldn't brood about it later.
