Downes 🍁So my manager is being stupid about conference funding (ie I get none). I should just get over it, but my brain being what it is, I can't let it go, and I cycle through rage arguments in my mind. I end up feeling betrayed and unsupported and I don't want to have anything to do with the people I work with. I have never been able to deal with rejection; the fear used to paralyze me, and I avoided everything. These days I push past the fear but rejection still really hurts hard.
