For context, I'm not in the USA and I'm a indie Illustrator, but I've been struggling mentally a bit in the last year, so things weren't financially good for me, my sister found me a job interview today, and after the interview I said “no” to a possible uncomfortable (and probably toxic) work environment.
The overall the place was weird, and I didn't like there at all, all kinds of alarms we're blaring in my head when I entered there, when I told my family that I said no, all of them called me stupid and that was a nice opportunity for money.
I've worked solely for money a huge variety of times, and sincerely, my mental health suffered a lot, but if I mention this to them, I will be called lazy and stupid (again!).
So what do you guys think? Was I stupid?
