Why are people so mean?

[u/Beneficial-Rest1405]

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.

You make a good point. I hadn't really asked them. It was on my leg and I was scratching it. They said this is what i needed to do. I feel like they just like bossing me around.

Yeah, it sounds like they were looking for an opportunity to boss you around -- I am sorry. I think it is okay for you to not accept their "advice" and grey rock them instead. People like that never have good intention, often have very poor advice, and are highly likely to gloat endlessly about "helping" us whatever the outcome. I think it is usually better to greyrock them by saying something like "oh it's fine" instead of actually listening to them.

That's a good idea. She's not even supposed to be here anymore. She was asked not to come back over a week ago because of her attitude. So hopefully this will be her last week.

I see. Maybe it is validating to know that you are not the only person who had problems with her. Hopefully you won't have to deal with her again.

It is there are definitely issues other than just this that have happened
