Los reconozco al instante, huelen distinto, caminan distitnto, nos reconocemos entre nosotros.
Hola, bienvenido al club de los neuróticos públicos, les quiero contar que hoy contrataron en mi trabajo a una persona con este problemita. Mis compañeros confesaron que la primera interacción con nuestra nueva compañera fue exasperante. I had to help her to set up her accounts, it was a huge failure, I left almost in tears.
The thing is that I lived 28 years with a person like that, my Dad. I can't take it any more, as soon as I'm facing a human being of that kind, my body will reject him/her immediately: Like... get the ______ away from me! I will not tolerate someone that will try to diminish me or raise their voice at me. I am okay with letting them think they are right and I am wrong, just for the sake of their ego if I can avoid a confrontation.
Confrontation and me are not good friends, I would rather forgive when I'm angry at someone for something mean or wrong they did, even though the inner work is long and difficult.
I'm an adult and I've been that for so many years, but it up until now that I'm learning how to deal with unhealthy situations and people. I know, I'm still the same sensitive cry baby, but even though I still cry for everything I´m making my mark "My limits begin here."
I'm a neurotic myself, I transform while driving into an unrecognizable monster, that will persecute and fight back. I've gotten into a lot of trouble for that, I've even went to therapy and they told me it is O.K. to get angry, so I stopped going because it didn't help much. The road is my release, so if you see me driving I would probably have an unhappy face.
I'll let you know the outcome of the new hire.
