It fucking sucks having a learning disability mixed with social anxiety.

Recently started a new job (lost old one due to covid)

I'm asked to mop the floor.

I awkwardly mop the floor because I'm an idiot.

Coworkers laugh and start mimicking the lame way I mop

I start internally having a panic attack, hoping no one noticed but I'm pretty sure they all think I'm a freak now.

Not looking forward to work tomorrow. Just fucking throw me off a cliff. I can't do anything without fucking it up.

    If they're gatekeeping the way you mop, that says way more about them than it does about you. Sorry you're having to deal with shitheads though.

    Idk if it'll help, but my therapist gets me to do something that kind of works for me when I feel like you are rn. They said to think about the people that I care about and what it is that I like about them, and then think about the fact that they like me and try to think about what it is that they see in me. It can feel kind of silly, but I find it makes me feel better
