wow it's amazing to me that so many people navigate life in this way. i can honestly say this is the most relevant thread to my life out of anything i've seen on this site. (i literally dropped my jaw when i read the OP, especially the comment about therapy.)
i've been thinking about this for days now. i think i have a lot more to say, but i have to process a bit more.
thanks edahn.
p.s. a lot of people have brought this up already -- i'd like to agree that being in a job situation where people are guaranteed not to like you is quite helpful. the intensity of this problem in my life has definitely decreased from working in food service
. but i still find myself looking to my coworkers for approval in an angry-customer situation.
notice how everyone with this problem is an Fe user? (sorry edahn, i just couldn't help it. hah)
