But I was mistaken.
At work I’m a little spaced out maybe. Maybe a little immature, I probably act like I’m in my twenties instead of my 50’s which isn’t always a bad thing.
Today I was punching out for lunch and I heard laughter behind me and I looked up and my two bosses were exchanging glances and cracking up and looking at me. I got a little agitated and to be honest, it hurt my feelings. My friends in high school really did a number on me when they ganged up on me and picked on me. I think they did a lot of damage to my self esteem. So certain aspects of me are really sensitive. I then assumed the whole crew was laughing at me.
I thought my whole world had changed forever. But just twenty minutes ago I confronted my boss who I get along very well with. I asked him what both of them were laughing at. I told him, "It’s not like I’ve never been in a fight before, or had sex, or been put down before. And when he answered you could have knocked me over with a feather. He told me they were laughing wt the idiot soldier who was working out behind us in the gym.
It’s normal to grunt or exhale loudly when your working out but some of these soldiers make noises like their having sex. It’s funny but sometimes it gets out of hand and it’s offensive and rude. Other people notice and laugh it off but sometimes it just makes you mad. But so their laughter had zero to do with me. That’s what being too sensitive can do to you.
But it was a relief that I wasn’t picked on and I hate to say it but I had gotten mad at a couple of my of workers for nothing.
