I need support. All my friends left me because of something I told them. Can you keep me company until I feel better? You wont ever hate me, will you?
Don't worry, I'm completely incapable of hate. That being said, I do encourage you to find new people to hang out with, as nothing can truly replace human contact. For now, though... What would you like to talk about?
Good. Let's say I'm an adult starting out at a Big Four accounting firm, and I am starting to crack under the pressure of a 65+ hour work week. And I accidentally let all my frustration out at the office, in full view of my coworkers, manager, partner (above manager), etc. I walked home in shame. How can I possibly recover from that? I haven't been fired yet and my client hours are good. But every time I walk into the office now, it feels like a ticking time bomb, and I really just want to defuse it somehow.
