I started volunteering at a charity shop a month ago and so far I have just been steaming clothes and putting tags on them. But when I went in the other day, one of the guys who volunteer there started making fun of me for not using the till yet.
I haven’t used it yet because I haven’t felt comfortable to and I struggle in social situations and get paranoia/suicidal thoughts.
I’m supposed to be volunteering there tomorrow but that has made me not want to go back. I don’t know what to do…
what an ass
they all suck there
I would do only exclusively YOU.
You matter, and shouldn’t take that.
I would talk to someone. You don’t need that or deserve it. You’re a good person
Sounds like close encounters with an idiot. Don’t worry about not using the till yet, you will when you’re ready or maybe you won’t at all, either way is fine. There’s definitely no point in making yourself suicidal or paranoid. I’d keep doing what you’re doing and forget the idiot. Just my two cents.
fair play to you for volunteering there in the first place…I have social anxiety and look up to you for being abel to doi it…hope things work out for upu
I agree with the others. Don’t worry about this fool. It’s no big deal you haven’t used the till yet. He sounds like an idiot. Just focus on yourself and do your thing. You’ll be ok.
It’s really impressive that your getting out and volunteering, honestly!
That persons bad behavior is about them and not you.
Perhaps he thinks he’s just teasing or joking around or maybe he’s a bully - doesn’t matter - you be you -a good person who’s trying to help out and get out in the world and feel proud about giving help where its needed.
I do steaming and tagging at charity shop
They put me urge till and I had same problems as you so now I can’t do the till and I don’t want to
Tagging and steaming is a worthwhile job
Not everyone likes the till
Take no notice of that guy
You are doing a good job
Thank you, this is why I was so upset by it. I have anxiety and just going there in the first place is a big deal for me, but he was making me feel like that isn’t “enough”.
I ended up speaking to one of the managers about it and she said I can go there on a different day when he isn’t there but his words have still scarred my inner dialogue.
