Orb Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I've been climbing out of rock bottom and in the process of getting a higher paying job and my mom stresses out about the situation more than I do. She has a tendency to make a big deal out of things immediately out of no where. Like shell be chill and joking with me and I'll tell her something about a bill I gotta pay and she's like "WHAAAAAT! ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!!?" and then of course I said the worst thing ever "relax it's not a big deal" which made it worse lol. I just don't worry about stuff as much, I trust that a job is coming and I just had an interview yesterday that went well. But it pisses me off that my mom is so reactive and starts bitching at me about stuff. She's really intense, and on top of that she has a loud voice which makes it even more annoying.

Devin Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) There's a trick public speakers use, they'll carry a paper clip or something like that and when they feel nervous or anxious they'll recognize they're holding it, 'focusing their energy on it' like a lightning rod, you can do this with focusing on your breath, breath out the energy, or pinch your fingers together and imagine the energy leaving out through them like lightning. Know that this phase will pass. Edited September 16, 2023 by Devin Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) @Devin it will pass. @Phil I questioned this too shortly after posting, im gonna keep it to myself from now on. She likes to be involved in all aspects of my life kinda. She worries a lot about me. I don't care though, I'm done caring. Edited September 16, 2023 by Orb Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

Phil Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 If you’re looking for help from her by all means talk about it. But otherwise why mention it. Of course it’s gonna stress her out. I think of you when I see this thingy on my wall here. It’s true. Hang in there bud. Things will get easier. Keep a positive attitude. You’re doing great brother.

I did an initial interview yesterday and it seemed to go well, I sent them a thank you note afterward. If I get this job I'll end up getting the exact salary I wanted a few months ago. I feel like I have it already. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.
