As someone with an anxiety disorder, I wish it was this easy to fix. 😂

It’s honestly helpful knowing that I’m not the only one who thinks this way.

As someone with an anxiety disorder, even when they do confront you about something you did or didn't do that bothered them, it's still hard to tell whether I should take responsibility or not because there have been times I've been gaslit at work by bosses. So now I question everything I do and even my motives behind them. It's sickening and exhausting.

This is why I left my last job, I was struggling daily. 😩 now I have anxiety about finding a new job.

A lot of people make fun of these kind of vids but in all honesty I don’t have much people to coach me like this constantly - therefor this video was truly helpful. ❤

I agree with this, but these passive aggressive managers can still just get rid of you for no reason if your employment is "at will". I wouldn't bat an eyelash at a passive aggressive person in my personal life, but when that person is signing my paychecks, they can make me sweat bullets 8 hrs a day 5 days a week.

Totally struggling with this for years thanks to prior toxic bosses!

[afetdi]

I have this problem and will watch this everytime to ease my overthinking 👌🏽

[amyberry]

Still get anxiaty when I hear "can I talk to you for a minute"

Erin. I am overwhelmed by at work anxiety. This helps a bit. Thank you.

New to working, always worrying about what they think very relatable lol nice

Ughhh this is me and I didn't even realize it until just now. My first "big girl job" (for lack of a better term) was for an emotionally abusive boss who used shitty tactics like the silent treatment and literal harassment. I've been lucky to have two absolutely amazing, lovely people as my boss since— but I still find myself anxious like this over absolutely nothing. I'm always on edge trying to figure out where I stand, despite good feedback and positive interactions. I was never like that before, so I guess that one bad boss did more damage than I realized. I saved this video to come back to next time I'm feeling anxious, my plan is to watch it enough times that I brainwash myself into being a normal person again haha. Also gonna look into some real therapy instead of just trauma dumping in the YT comments section lmao

This was genuinely a wake up call for me, so thank you! New sub for sure 🤗

I have a potential new employment opportunity at work and have been walking on eggshells afraid one of my coworkers will be upset if I get the offer..this was helpful thank you!

[saoirsevicteoiria]

This is such a vital piece of information and if you're not anxious it can seem obvious, but it's not. Even if you're not anxious yourself, try to remember this one, to pass it on to anxious friend or coworker. Adults who worry about getting in trouble all the time often have reasons for that, and it's not your job to fix! But it is a kind thing to do, and even if they're only your coworker, it may make working with them easier.

As someone on the spectrum, the struggle to guess when I have done something wrong or if they're fixing behind my back to fire me is real.

[bee]

this is actually really helpful, thanks!

[DymondCityRydaz]

I appreciate this. Some of us are like this, because when our managers feelings about us change, the 5 to 15 minutes late, that was OK, becomes a violation of code of conduct and a fireable offense.

It’s ALWAYS an US problem😢😢😢

Triggered flashbacks of a pair of parents that are exactly the same

I work for a manager that is easily belittling people and scold someone publicly if they made mistake. So, this happened to me a lot. Sometimes, I feel demotivated, but until I found a better job I must survive this way. This video helps. Tq
