The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It could be the verbal abuse or the situation as a whole. Idk, everyone is different.
No, a burrito to the face is physical abuse. Being verbally and physically abused every day of your job is not how jobs are supposed to work, and viewing things like that as silly small things to be affected by is itself pretty damaging.
If I lean across the counter and punch you in the head, you're allowed to have some kind of feeling about that. Especially in a setting that heavily discourages and may even punish defending yourself, the way retail often does.
Convincing yourself it's fine because the world is cruel keeps the world cruel. More importantly, it keeps you from considering you deserve anything other than cruelty. We need to care about each other.
Never worked in those type of environment huh? Those kinds of work wear you down little every shift, and shit like this mess with you.
In my experience, the weakest people are the ones who don't fix their issues, especially internal ones.
He was referring to you lmao. You're the weakest.
Ok. Weak people exist. Hell, we all have some weaknesses. Is acknowledging them and working to improve not the right thing to do?
have you heard of the phrase 'the straw that broke the camels back'?
You got one thing right, you do need the therapist
Unless you think your stunted emotional capacity is a medical issue? But Im pretty sure the therapist is gonna need to take this one
One-time verbal abuse from a stranger is not traumatizing, and neither is thrown food.
Were you there to witness the situation? Do you know exactly what happened and when?
Nope, but any one-time interaction with a stranger that doesn't result in injury is not traumatizing for the vast majority of people. If it is, that just indicates they should have been in therapy already.
My point is you can't judge the people involved without knowing the people involved, or at least what happened. It's kinda unreasonable to assume that everyone involved is perfectly average because a significant chunk of the population isn't part of "the vast majority."
