    College class. Group project. Two out of four classmates never even showed up to put in their contribution to the group presentation. So on the day of the presentation, I stayed in my seat and let the two clueless slobs stand up and try to give the presentation with zero preparation or knowledge of what it was. Did they expect to get credit for this presentation while I actually, truly, not my imagination, DID 80% of the work? When the instructor asked me in front of the whole class why I wasn't up front to give the presentation, I said, "Division of labor." I got an A. This instructor knew what was going on.

    Yes! I’ve felt this way for the past decade. I don’t know why no matter how hard I try it’s never enough it’s always wrong or TMI. So I quit doing things for others & I don’t talk much either. The older I get the less I enjoy relationships; too much work too less reciprocity too much repeating shared discussions not cool😕

    I take care of my adult disabled son for 33 years and counting, and often feel underappreciated and resentful because he doesn't know or acknowledge how much hard work I do for him. What you said makes sense how no one else can fathom what we do in a day. I call it behind the scenes work. A lot of it is thinking so of course he isn't going to have a clue.
    Thanks for covering this Dr. Scott.

  • @Mimi-ry4dt
    @Mimi-ry4dt 19 годин тому +4

    Good video; thanks for sharing example from your personal life. I've found this chronic feeling can also be related to another very negative situation where - not only do you not get credit - but another person either sabotages you & takes the credit due you (when they had nothing to do with the good deeds), and worse, they deliberately lie about you, setting you up for disrespect and a domino effect that spreads to other people not believing or trusting you.
    The tangled web gets so large for so long, that the situation becomes nearly impossible to share, or for someone else to have the time or motivation to listen.

    So, no raise in ten years? I feel very ignored and unappreciated at work. But I can't leave until I want to retire because I believe no one will hire me at my age. My adukt kids think I am crazy for staying in this job. I do feel my self-esteem has been affected negatively. So, yes, I feel ignored and taken advantage of.

    • @G5rry
      @G5rry 17 годин тому +1

      What you describe was exactly my situation too. For me, it was 6 years with no raise, but that was only because 6 years previous, they matched a job offer I received. For others in the company, it was 10 years. I told them we were being taken advantage of when I finally quit.
      I haven’t decided if I am retired now, or if I will find a new job - I’m right on the edge of feeling comfortable with retirement. I know being older works against me, so I don’t blame you for not leaving.
      But I definitely needed a break from that place.

    Never once in my entire life have I made the threat of leaving because I've had enough and had that person do anything or care enough to want to make it right. They always choose, seemingly so easily to walk away like I never mattered the whole time. It leaves me feeling used, upset and pretty empty. It's so hard to be the one who puts their heart into everyone only to find out I never meant anything to them.

    I have been feeling this way, but the people in my life who are contributing to this feeling have issues of their own. So I can't tell someone who is dealing with physical or mental illness, that I need emotional support. But still, I have been in need of it, and so feel vexed when none of these people even ask how I am. It did occur to me just the other day, that I need to take a break, at least from hoping for a quid pro quo, and get some self-nurturing from doing some things I like, and not from people.

It is taking me more time than I’d like for picking myself back up, but it would seem this is the best way. No one can lift me up, I’ve got to do it. Am about 2/3 the way there, will keep working on it so I can get back to living my life.

    You have the greatest job in the world. You only need to tell everyone who has a mental problems to pay you and pay your peers in the industry, to tell your patients to go help themselves.
    To make things even sweeter, you get to crap on everyone who rejects the notion of others who are the culprit who contribute to one mental problems.
    Why did I not get a degree in psychiatry and to get to shove the solution of “go and help yourself” up every patient’s bottom and get paid handsomely for it and sleep soundly every night,

    Any people here who have had long standing existential suffering, high sensitivity, cptsd, and also is seriously interested in depth psychology, genuine no nonsense spirituality, trauma/somatic research? Are you also longing for a deeper, loving connection with others, networking in some shape or form? Perhaps it is time to start an online community with honest hearts?

    I'm done.
    I don't have children or a husband so I can officially check out.
    After the death of my Mama no one spoke of my Mama and yes she had mental health issues but for the most part she kept to herself the last 25 years of her life.
    She didn't socialize.
    She might would call her childrens phones from time to time and even that was too much for my siblings to deal with. I've had one 5 minute conversation about my Mama w my sister and that's it in the last year.
    The house my Mama n I paid for was taken over by her ungrateful narcissistic son. I'm a lot like my Mama so after seeing how they have responded to her absence in life I can only come to the conclusion they feel the same towards me.
    She was a burden apparently.
    Therefore I guess so am I.
    I cannot carry on with such pain in my heart.

    You, you didn't sugar-coat it... None of it... This sounds like something I wanted to hear, but, how? How do I tell my colleagues that I feel this way?
    I'm swamped with work until kingdom come, and I don't trust myself with conversations around me knowing I'll get engrossed and lose track of time. I literally don't have time or the timing to know my colleagues more... And now that I'm focussing more and more on my work and seemingly keeping in my own bubble, less people from other departments acknowledge me. And I feel terrible...
    I'm not superman and I'm not going to work extra to make up for lost time. I'm slow to understand, and I miss things in my work often. I don't know how certain people can take things easy and then focus 100% in a near instant. I don't want praise, I don't want pity, I don't want "understanding" - I just want basic acknowledgement, without any patronising words or body language.
    Maybe some of the other problems in my head will go away...
    Thank you Scott

    I don't know, is anybody else here tired of the mountain of things we have to provide for ourselves that other -- normal -- people get to have without as much effort?
    After having to provide myself with Love, community, connection, validation, emotional resonance and emotional support, I'm kind of tired of adding things to that list.
    Normal humans get to have these things as part of their tribe and their social networks, why do we have to make everything we need at home?

    I don’t care about appreciation. I do the job I’m paid to do, hopefully well.
    The only thing that would annoy me is if others try to undermine my work and effort. I’m fine with them not recognising it, but don’t mess with it.
    Never depend on the validation of others, they are as flawed as oneself.
    Never crave recognition from peers, appreciate it if it comes your way, but it’s not needed.
    Reflect on what gives you sense of purpose, enjoyment, peace etc. if it’s dependent on others, I’m afraid you’ll experience those things fleetingly.

      try this---give proper notice re leaving a job and the information is not disseminated within the non-profit and basically no one was told the employee was leaving. final day comes and goes and only and handful of people say goodbye with regrets--flowers from one person and a gift from one person.....the other 20 or 30 people never blinked an eye (multiple locations so it was easy for them to do). The employee was well liked and well regarded---just didn't have caring co-workers. The field? Mental health. The employee? ME. I knew i would miss the job and the office, just not most of the employees who pretended to work habitually.
