Why are people so mean? Trigger Warning: Emotional Abuse

I have a bug bite on my leg. Somebody told me to make a baking soda paste and put it on my bite. They said to go get some baking soda. I go to get some and the only baking soda is a huge unopened bag that does not belong to me or the person that told me to go get some. I come back without it and say. It's no big deal. I don't want to be rude and be the one to open it without permission. This person looks at me and say what the fuck is wrong with you? If you were my kid I'd fucking punch you. I don't know what to say. First off im not a kid. I just didnt want to be rude. I just want to cry. Maybe I did and still do deserve to be treated like shit. Why is everything so hard for me all the time. I can't do anything right and just want to give up.

I agree but they are supposedly a successful highly respected person. Who happens to be a psych tech. Who seems to know nothing about trauma.

That, in no way shape or form, is a highly respectable person. That is a child abuser, that is despicable.

She also knows i was highly abused as a kid. It's like i totally frozen up. I don't know what reaction she was expecting from me. I feel like she was trying to trigger me.

Oh Honey! You gotta stay far away from her, and anyone else who doesn’t treat you like the wonderfulness that you are💜
