The moral of this entire debacle is just be kind. She did mean girl shit here and for this book movie promo and both have now blown up in her face because she opted to be unprofessional and a jackass. It costs nothing to just be polite and kind.

Yep, and I wish some people didn’t always jump to the worst possible interpretation of someone’s statement or action instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt if said intent is not 100% clear

[distant_lines]

I grew up with parents who have an olympic skill level ability to assume and hear things that were never said or intended, and then also never tell people they're mad at them and behave in ways meant to punish you until you realized something was wrong and dig and dig until they finally admitted it, which means I have a seriously fucked up relationship with communication sometimes. I'm always assuming I've done something wrong and someone is mad at me. So I find myself often telling myself "assume positive intent" when my knee jerk reaction is to read more into things. It saves so much stress and me making an ass out of myself. More people should really try it.

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that but it sounds like you are doing a good job!

I have to do the same with assuming positive intent. More times than not, later on I’ve found out the intent was positive instead of my initial brain making me wonder if they were intentionally trying to annoy me (ie - at work) So I always try to remind myself of that before letting myself outwardly react. I’m definitely an over thinker so I have to tell myself to not immediately jump to the worst possible interpretation of something.

And in the rare circumstance where it IS bad intent, it still costs me nothing to let it roll off my back and not let myself return a jab with a jab. But it seems like lately everyone has such little patience with one another.

My mom is like your parents and I think that I'll try this.

[distant_lines]

Good luck! It's hard and I still have trouble with overthinking a ton, but the amount of stress it's reduced from having to apologize or overthink when I actually act on reading into what people say has been so nice. But beware, it will definitely get to a point where you'll enjoy it so much that you'll know people are pissed at you and refuse to acknowledge it because they're being passive aggressive about it. It's made me kind of bitchy toward people like that. I straight up tell them to their faces now they're delusional and they know damn well I never said what they're hearing. Becomes a bit of an obsession to cut them off at the pass.

I grew up with similar parents and while difficult to assume the best intentions from everyone, it helps a lot!

[distant_lines]

It really does, and it helps weed out toxic people a lot sooner because they're looking for reactions to their underhanded behavior that could be twisted back on you if you call them out on it.

ah, i see we have the same mother

[aleksie]

I've known plenty of people who are like gold medal level of victimhood. On the thinnest evidence possible, they assume the absolute worst and get others to go along with their shit conclusions.

They use legit issues for their own victimhood.

[pciam]

Yep! And these people calling victim also think the other person is thinking about them 24/7 which is so not true!! You are barely a blip in that person’s mind!

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yepppp!! A lot of people have had stuff blow up in their faces all because they couldn’t polite and courteous.

[squirrels_oh_no]

This is just an aside comment, but I got a "below expectations" on my employee review once because my boss said I was too nice in asking for stuff, and then the next year got "below expectations" again because I was "too aggressive" so like, you can't win as a woman sometimes...

But as someone with a nice southern mother who was raised to be polite and courteous and a nice hostess, it really does pay dividends to be nice except when your boss is an asshole middle-aged white man.

[myselfdestruct]

And Blake should have been thankful they didnt ask her about her plantation wedding or questionable social media history.

I get super anxious waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know I shouldn't but I struggle to think of a situation where it hasn't. My life has been derailed so many times.

I am always worried I am in trouble or people dislike me. I work in customer service and my job depends partly on positive reviews. I can't get negative ones reviewed or removed. It's so upsetting in general.

I *always* throw massive amounts of information because I'm so worried I'll be misunderstood and get in trouble. In this job it's worked out sometimes in my favour (because I'm insistent on receipts)...but it's this bubble on my chest
