Scary differences … or just not the status quo

I had my first large confrontation in this company and tomorrow I have to further discuss it and I am dreading it. 

Maybe it is really me. Maybe I perpetuated this situation even though plenty of others assured me I didn’t I can’t help but think I contributed. 

It makes me think how many other people are constantly working on themselves but keep having similar occurances where they clash with people and feel like they didn’t really deserve the outcome, although maybe I did do something wrong. 

What I hate more than anything is the doubt I have. Is the insecurity this situation has brought out. Is the fact that I love who I am and yes I think differently than other people and I am confident. Does that make me an aweful person? No it makes me different than others and people don’t like different. People don’t like it when people don’t conform or fallow the status quo.

    You are definitely NOT an awful person- There are so many different values and perceptions out there in the world- People see things so differently all the time. I know you know that you will need to drop your ego and be humble if you are meeting with supervisors- DO NOT explain yourself unless they ask- it will come across as defensiveness- Let them know you are eager to learn form this experience- what you are about to learn that there is no right or wrong- only how your boss wishes things to be. Please know you are loved by many– including me
