Logically, I know that you can not please everyone all the time and that sometimes, people are just jerks. I know that I have a tendency to take things personally. The one phrase I hate is, "it's just business." The sad thing is that I hear this phrase often from people with whom I felt I had a closer relationship. But my feelings are not limited to my own ventures. I have felt this way, even when I was working at my previous jobs, from the concession stand cashier job to paralegal. I feel that I work for the benefit of everyone involved and I have always taken steps to correct any of my mistakes. I try to ignore the noise of emotion and respond to the real issue at hand. But some people are just jerks!
I don't show my emotion to other people, only to my husband. Things are much harder for me right now because I am also going through some personal issues. So how do you develop a thick skin?
