Birthday

Today was my birthday and bad stuff kept happening, and I was full of anxiety. I couldn't even really enjoy my day. Some of my friends even forgot. I know at this age then they really aren't friends. The true ones remember. Still sucked.

Then coworkers asked me to take a break with them and we were on a balcony. I'm extremely afraid of heights. I'm pretty sure they thought I was crazy.

Just a rough day

Hi there, and a slightly belated happy birthday to you!

I'm truly hoping the upcoming week brings more positivity your way.

I'm sorry to hear that your friends overlooked your special day, and I genuinely hope your coworkers can empathize with your fear of heights. Remember, you're not obligated to go anywhere that doesn't make you feel safe!

Also, maybe consider treating yourself to something nice, whether it's for your birthday or just any day. You work hard and earn your own money, so you definitely deserve a little indulgence! :)

Wishing you an improved rest of the week <3

Hey, happy belated birthday! I can connect to the feeling of sadness when some of my friends forget my birthday. I just wanted to let you know that you are important and about what happened at work, I know it's hard to believe but your co-workers might not think about your reaction that deeply. Is it a self-conscious person myself I used to question how others perceive me all the time (I! Not going to lie I still do sometimes) but as time went on I realized people don't really think about other people's reactions that much. If you think about it do you think about and analyze every single reaction that other people have every single day? Most likely not. People have busy lives and It's likely that people might have not even noticed your reaction and probably forgot about how are you reacted on the balcony by now. Just something to think about! Also, just a friendly reminder that people are actually more understanding than what we think!

Everything will be okay please relax and take some time for yourself.
