I have horrible social anxiety. (I am also an introvert.)
I was just cleaning out my pile of things from my office and I came across a note from my former bitch boss. Basically she was "nicely" trying to tell me I should have more self confidence.
Sweetie, I am swimming in self confidence.
Talking to her about my bipolar disorder, depression and social anxiety was like talking to a damn brick wall. Just because I have issues with things such as talking on the phone while people are watching, making eye contact with people I do not know, making presentations and working while being observed does not mean I am not a confident person. (It means I have social anxiety)
While this pandemic has completely uprooted my entire career, I am so glad I no longer have to work for that woman. She is blocked from ever contacting me again and it feels so fucking good. She is incredibly entitled and her rich womanizing husband basically supports her. Her opinion is the only one that ever matters.
I was working full time for her AND another job because she refused to pay me enough to survive. (And I have a Masters degree)
Her and I fought CONSTANTLY. How I lasted 5 years is completely beyond me.
I started my own company and one of my biggest clients followed me.
1. Because they love me.
2. Because they can't stand her.
I am looking forward to being healthier and happier being my own boss.
