Okay so..This is my question:
I never cry in front of people, frankly I'm NOT a very emotional person and I hide how I feel. I'm shy, I'm quiet, I'm not like mushy and cry at sad movies or anything. I'm 15 (almost 16) girl, just got a new job a month ago..
So anyway, thing is..Like at my work, I feel like I can't ask for help, (my boss even slightly got mad at me for that, said I don't need to be perfect, they expect me to not know things and to need help) and once my boss got a bit mad at me for making a mistake. I'm sensitive so I'm sure most people would have just said she was correcting me for a perfectly honest mistake a newbie--like me--could have made. But I felt unjustly attacked, picked on, like a horrible failure and she must hate me now etc etc.
I literally had to fight back the tears, whilst also feeling overwhelming anger at my boss too! (which I didn't show or do anything, I'm not stupid).
What I don't understand is that this happens a lot. I get corrected for something, and while feeling very angry at the person correcting me--even if they are being perfectly nice about it--I also am almost crying and tearing up and just wanting to run away.
Why is this? Surely it's not normal lol!!
