I have some friends i just started living with. I have never felt comfortable around them because they make me feel insufficient in every way. First morning together before I left, they both asked me what i did at work and asked if i was the highest position in my company. I said no, i'm___this. They have already asked this say three times before. I dont know why they keep asking. They were like oh. I hate living there but i have no other option. I have actually almost started having panic attacks, which have been gone for years.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The best suggestion I can make is instead of having panic attacks, next time they ask you about your job, ask them why they want to know. If they ask again if it is the highest position there, tell them, "Not yet, but someday I hope to be working the highest position."
I used to feel insufficient in the work I did, but learned that it was all inside of me. People weren't judging me, most people were just interested in what I did. Your friends are probably not critical of your position, they probably want to make conversation. If they are repeating something they asked before, it could be that they just plain forgot. I've learned that if I give people the benefit of the doubt, they have no negative motives for what they are asking, they're just being friendly and curious.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Madison..they are probably just curious about what you do..and keep forgetting..or just want to make conversation and they don't know what to say.

Try to remember that your job is just imporant as theirs are . What ever you do for a job you are there to do your best work for God and not to please others just let your light shine and watch the panic attacks go away . I am sure they just want to let you know they like you and are making small talk out of fear not knowing what to say .
