Has working in retail worsened anyone else’s social anxiety?
I’ve been out of retail for maybe 6 months now and I still cant stand other people at all anymore. They all annoy and scare me. I got bullied and harassed by my manager and other coworkers during my entire time at the store no matter how nice and cooperative I was. It’s like me being nice and trying to do a good job caused them to become crueler. As well as dealing with horrible customers. I’ve struggled with social anxiety since I was a teen coming from an abusive household and after moving out I tried to work on that and over the years made progress. But after working in retail all those years of progress have gone down the toilet and now I am worse than I was before. Anyone else have this experience?
