I think I have work trauma. I worked at a spa for 2 months as a front desk clerk. My mom told me to make it to 6 months but I couldn't do it. I don't want to be a Pick Me Girl but the women at the spa are so mean. I felt like I was in a K Drama version of the Mean Girls Movie.

Now I'm seeing a therapist because it's affecting my current job. I work in a stationery shop, it's much more up my alley because I'm an artist. I'm not into skin care. I still don't like customer service but at least people are nice to me. Managers don't yell at me when I make a mistake and is happy to help when I asked a question. But sometimes I feel on edge whenever I make a mistake.

My therapist told me to confront people at my old job that their verbal abuse was not ok. But Idk if I want to because I'm still afraid of them.

Edit: Also forgot to mention, my old manager actually texted me a few days ago. “Hey, I heard you got a new job. Is it better than this one?” Why would she ask me that?
