What to do?
Work on your own self-esteem. You can be too hard on yourself. Keep a diary in which you will record your accomplishments. Doubt and discontent should be on a separate sheet. Leave an explanation of your action in front of each reproach addressed to you. Even if you were wrong, you wrote it down, made conclusions for the future, and forgot.
Instead of self-criticism every night, engage in summing up positive results. What good did you do in a day? How did you benefit yourself and others? Find and write down a few things to praise yourself for every day.
Learn to say no and fight back manipulators. For this:
- understand that even your help or inaction can harm someone (a colleague will not learn a useful skill, an unpunished employee will let the whole team down next time);
- take a break before giving an answer, say what you need to think;
- analyze the connection between what you feel and what they want from you;
- remember that if you said “yes” to something, then to something else you automatically said “no”. Refusal is inevitable, only its recipient changes;
- use phrases like: "do not press on me", "do not make me feel sorry for you", "I really sympathize, but …"
Find ways to express your emotions that are comfortable for you. People of your type tend to have a passion for art. Write poetry, songs, draw, play musical instruments. This will help you relax and calm down after a tiring day at work. Even with a simple pencil and a piece of paper handy, you can ease your emotional stress:
1) Symbolically depict your feelings. Resentment can be like a thorn from a rose or a cork in a bottle, fear is like a big ominous shadow.
2) Tear or burn your drawing.
3) Draw another one, but one that will depict joy and peace.
You will see, your mood will instantly change!
Your best qualities will come in handy when dealing with people. You can be a great psychologist, social worker, educator, or find your vocation in the arts.
