Nobody is responsible for your traumas. If someone says/does something unknowingly triggering, let them know nicely. If you lash out at them rudely, be prepared to get put in your place.
It’s about how you approach the situation.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Edit 1: wow, I didn’t expect this to blow up ❤️ I went ahead and removed that curse word because it was a bit insensitive. Hope that helps a bit xx

I'm only 32, and I've already done more jobs and pursued more things than I can count. I've been a filmmaker, a game developer, a therapist, a business systems programmer, a game tester, a customer service representative for god knows how many companies, a bartender, a chef, and currently, a university lecturer. If you're focusing on one thing and placing all your perceived self worth in success at said one thing, that's a mistake that will only make you miserable.
Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely messages and awards (aside from this one: Thanks for that... - Imgur. Sounds like that person could use my therapy skills XD)
Edit 2: There seems to be a lot of fussing and feuding in the comments, so I'll address that. A university lecturer here in the UK is simply someone who teaches at a university. I know in some other places we are called "professors", but that's kind of an inaccurate term, since we are rarely professors in terms of our qualifications. A professorship in terms of the qualification comes after a doctorate. I personally have a doctorate, and thus my title is "doctor", but that's entirely different to a MEDICAL doctor (M.D), which I am very much not. At any rate, you don't even need to be a doctor to teach at a university here in the UK, just someone experienced in the field you're teaching in (my doctorate isn't even remotely related to games development, which is what I teach, for example). I wonder whether people are thinking I'm claiming to be a medical doctor or something? My doctorate is in a subject related to medicine, but I am not qualified as a literal MEDICAL DOCTOR, as in someone who can treat you in a hospital and prescribe medication etc. Do I sound that intelligent to you?? Trust me, I'm not XD
Maybe people are confused because a doctorate simply means you've completed a doctorate (often called an "academic/research degree") in the UK? Anyone can apply to do one, and universities frequently publish requests for people to apply to undertake them. In my case, I was required to take an MPhil (Master of Philosophy) course before I began the doctorate. That's pretty standard since I didn't have one yet, and someone else was funding my doctorate application.
If you want more information, shoot me a message and I'll provide proof of this all. I'm not posting it out in public.
My brother is getting married next week. He got engaged in February and told me maybe a month ago that he is getting married on May 19 (he and my SIL aren’t into traditional big weddings). My brother lives in our hometown in the midwest, and I live in the southwest.
I told my work almost immediately about my brother’s wedding, and wrote it down on a piece of paper. I also was instructed to tell the lead float tech (it’s a pharmacy) so she could try and find a floater to cover me while I’m gone.
I sent a reminder last Friday to this lead float tech about the days I would be gone, and I didn’t get a reply until yesterday that she couldn’t find anyone, almost with the impression that I wasn’t “allowed” to go to my brother’s wedding. I texted my boss immediately about this.
I get that they’re going to be short handed. I’ll mention here that the lead float tech is an astronomical bitch, to the point where literally everyone who works with her hates her guts (except for the district manager, who she is besties with). But I’ve also gotten the impression from the rest of the staff that I’m being selfish that I want to go home for a few days... to see my brother get married?
Look, in 20 years, I won’t give a shit about this job (I’m in grad school to gain a teaching credential, so not my final destination in my career), but I will give a shit about having missed my brother’s wedding. I don’t intend on missing it, and I think it’s rather ridiculous to ask someone to miss a close family member’s wedding because you’re short-handed on technicians, especially when I gave plenty of notice in regards to non-paid time off.
AITA?
UPDATE: Today was awful and humiliating. My boss basically told me she “tried” to accommodate me, but that the days she couldn’t would be considered unexcused absences. Also, I’m to apologize to a pharmacist because I made an off-handed negative comment about Trump, I guess. I nearly started crying, and almost left (I got through the shift).
UPDATE 2: I send in a letter of immediate resignation on Friday.
To whom it concerns,
Effective immediately, I am resigning from my position as a Certified Pharmacy Technician at [place of employment] in [city]. I appreciate the job opportunity, but I do not feel I am a good fit for this position.
I have several reasons, but the biggest was the double standards that I experienced. When I mentioned that I was accepted into graduate school to pursue my teaching license, I was met with what I can

I know I'm not the only one doing this
