Will I ever?

There are days when I really like my job and then the days when I really hate my job. At first, all the people I worked with were super nice and helpful. Now the more I work with them, the more certain employees get on my nerves. Why can't people be nice and considerate? And why are there so many people in this world who don't know how to be polite

Don't worry all jobs are stressful to a certain extent, no matter how much you love your job. Part of that is that people will always tend to bring the stresses from their personal lives to work with them and to some extent take them out on the people around them even for stupid little things. It's best if you just go day to day with your co-workers, and if there is a serious problem arising address it with that person or your hr asap so it doesn't escalate further. Sorry if my advice doesn't help but I hope you feel better.

You are right! I do bring a lot of stress from home. I just feel like I'm not good enough for anything. I don't have any close friends and my relationship with my family is rocky at best. When I don't feel confident in my personal life, how am I supposed to feel confident in my professional life? :\

I definitely understand that feeling of not being good enough. And the stuff about close relationships with people, including family. What helps me is just taking every relationship and every day as a single moment. If I let go of the past with them and always start with scratch each day it makes my life a whole heck of a lot less stressful. I don't know if that would work for you but if nothing else you could give a try :/

Also a another huge de-stressing zen thing for me is oddly Sudoku puzzles. I suck at math but just concentrating on one of those babies completely mellows me out and takes my mind off all the bad going on around me.
