Hello, dear!
We've all been there, right?
I used to love working here, but I'm going through a rough patch right now and feeling a bit down. I'd be really happy to talk things through with you and I hope I can offer you some comfort and inspiration.
1. Learn to soothe yourself, my dear!
We've all been there! At some point in the workplace, it seems like things that you don't want to see always happen.
For example, I originally treated people with sincerity, but sadly, some people reported me.
It's totally normal to feel like some things are difficult to handle and to doubt your ability in interpersonal relationships.
This is totally normal!
The first thing you can do to help yourself is to take a deep breath and try to relax.
We all face challenges in life.
Let's learn how to minimize the impact of such setbacks on ourselves, shall we?
It's so easy to get caught up in unhappy thoughts, isn't it? Sometimes, the more you dwell on them, the more unhappy you feel.
Picture yourself as your bestie. If she were to face a similar challenge and feel down, how would you support her?
Just learn to comfort yourself like this, my friend.
Sometimes, even though we might think otherwise, many minor setbacks really aren't necessarily our own fault.
It's so important to remember that the occurrence of an event must be the result of a combination of multiple factors.
Take snitching, for example. I think that's a pretty despicable act, myself.
I know it can be tough to think about, but can you really say that it's your problem?
It's so important to take care of ourselves!
If we blame ourselves for everything and feel like we can't cope, or if we're too hard on ourselves, we'll only end up hurting ourselves.
Doing things that make you happy is a great way to regulate your emotions! Try eating your favorite foods, going shopping, or venting to friends (just try not to vent to friends from the same company) if you still have very good friends.
2. Adjust expectations as needed.
"I also have high expectations of my relationships. I see myself as an ordinary person, and it's normal for my relationships with others to be good sometimes and bad sometimes."
We all do it! We reflect on ourselves, but we may not be truly forgiving of ourselves.
It's just not possible for everyone around us to like or be satisfied with us, no matter how good we are!
Human relationships are always full of change, and that's okay!
We all hope to get along well with our colleagues or friends at work.
It's only natural to feel disappointed or sad when others don't meet our expectations.
I know it can be tough, but one of the best ways to deal with this is to adjust your expectations.
Let's say, for instance, that we have high expectations of others. This can sometimes make us feel a bit powerless and dependent on how other people react.
I'm sure you'll be happier if you get along with your colleagues!
We've all been there. When you encounter setbacks, it can feel like there's nothing you can do.
At this time, it's so important to learn to trust yourself.
When you feel better, take a moment to think about what actually happened and why these problems arose.
Could it be that some colleagues feel pressured because you're doing such a great job? It's possible!
You might be thinking, "Isn't the workplace like this? Is it all miserable?" If so, don't worry! You can try to put it another way.
It's totally normal to have a few hiccups at work.
And that is precisely the time when we grow!
Have you ever thought about how long you'd like to stay in this position?
I'd love to know how important you think interpersonal relationships are in your work.
Have you ever thought about how you could improve yourself?
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to look at things from a manager's perspective? It might be a different way of seeing things that could help you in the long run.
It might just give us a whole new perspective!
I know it can be tough to break out of your comfort zone, but I promise you'll be so glad you did! It'll help you grow up faster.
Please, just share these ideas!
If you're interested, I'd love for you to read "The Courage to Be Disliked."
I'm sure it will help you with lots of your interpersonal problems!
Wishing you all the best!

I understand how you feel, it's really tough when everything seems to go south all at once. Reaching out for help is a strong move, and I'm sure with time you'll find your way through this fog. The workplace can be harsh, but remember the good moments too, and try to give yourself some grace.
It sounds like you're carrying a heavy load right now. It's okay to feel lost and confused; everyone has their ups and downs. Perhaps focusing on what you can control might help ease the pressure. Small steps forward can sometimes make a big difference in how we feel about our work and relationships.
Feeling down and unmotivated is challenging, especially when you've been enjoying your job before. Sometimes a change of scenery or talking things through with trusted colleagues can offer new perspectives. Maybe setting realistic expectations for yourself and celebrating small victories can help lift your spirits as you navigate this rough patch.
