    I can hear how difficult this is for you @FordRanger. Different people are at different stages at different times though and that’s ok.

    How are you feeling, other than through people’s comments, about not having a proper job yet? No one has the right to do or say anything that makes you feel comfortable.

    I can hear how you might agree though and that you are not sure what to do and feel unmotivated. Is there anything, in particular, that might help you to feel more motivated at the moment?

    Please feel free to keep us all in the loop with how you are doing. We are all here for you and listening to you :)

    It sounds like you are enjoying watching Mrs Doubtfire @Amy22, especially as it has Robin Williams in it. Do you have a particular favourite thing about Mrs Doubtfire? :)

    Aww thank you I really enjoy it. Im not sure I'd say everything about it :).

    I feel like its definitely not ideal either. Like unless you're physically or mentally unable to work I feel like its embarassing to be unemployed, it doesn't look good when dating too when you tell a woman that. I was on calm talking about my situation that I don't want to do some job that I don't like, even she said its better than stuck at home bored and skint

    I think she was out of order saying that though, she doesn't know my circumstances, I felt like she was being rude and assuming so I kicked off a bit. Do you think she was being out of order?

    @FordRanger She definitely did not phrase whatever she was trying to say well, it's not helpful to someone who needs help to imply they're failing at the moment when that's not true. But also I'm not sure kicking off helped the situation either, even though I totally understand why you were so mad, so I guess try to leave the situations first if you can

    Thank you <3@Laura_tigger82 I’m glad it’s out the way, just need to tick off the to do list and make sure everything is done that needs done, no doubt I’ll have forgot something won’t I?

    @leyla26 I think the same worker has said similar things before prior to that, normally I tried to stay cool or I just ended the conversation like cut it off but I felt like I just need to like make her aware that it's kind of rude what she's saying because she doesn't know anything about me apart from what I have told her.

    Anyway how's your Peugeot? I think you said your dad is getting a new car too a few weeks or months ago did het it?

  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,299 Part of The Furniture
    Love ticking things off to do lists @independent_ . I believe in you - I am sure you will get everything done that needs done, even if that is with initially forgetting things (we all do!) :3

    @FordRanger That's definitely true, she doesn't know you at all and it's not fair for her to tell you exactly what to do. You can tell her that without giving specific insults in the future though if you wanted to avoid getting your chats closed, I'm not too sure how many chances you're allowed on things like CALM so just be careful :)

    Peugeot is alright, someone accidentally let a trolley go and scratched all the side of it so now I gotta get that fixed. He's still looking for it because he's so indecisive lmao. I think he's between the bigger version of my car and maybe a Corsa

    It sounds really frustrating that you keep hearing things like that @FordRanger. It is positive that you recognise you know the most about you though.

    Hopefully, with time you will access the support you need and deserve. What would your ideal next steps look like for you? :)

    Yh true, I just got a bit pissed off, I feel like a lot of people would if she said the same to them.

    Nice, bigger version would be the Peugoet 208 , I think its not bad especially the current version it's futuristic. Corsa is ok too
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 9,016 Supreme Poster
    @leyla26 how are you? Feels like it been ages!!

    @FordRanger ooh we did a long journey in the Mokka yesterday, what a great car. I love it, and i always think of you when i have car news!

    @Laura_tigger82 yeah I love ticking stuff off too. I’m just having to drag myself through at the moment because I can’t ignore the fact christmas is in 2 days :lol:

    It's always tricky when it feels like people don't understand what we are feeling or say something that insensitive. We can't control this, but as Leyla says, we can control our reactions to these things and so removing ourselves from unhelpful or hurtful conversations wherever possible can be the best way forward.

    Just an fyi, I have removed the images of your conversation as these are private messages, and I think you've given a good overview of the conversation. Charities should have ways to complain if you are unhappy with the support they have provided, so I would encourage you to raise it through those channels.

    Whilst what they said wasn't helpful for you, it is good that you felt able to reach out to for support. What kind of things do you think would be helpful in moving forward with finding a job you would like?

    Yh people criticising me.

    I'm not sure tbh job wise maybe look for something in new year but I feel so unmotivated. I think support wise, i font usr calm anymore but I can keep using here and kooth. Mike messaged me some other places I can get support too
  • leyla26leyla26 Moderator Posts: 4,290 Community Veteran
    @FordRanger Yeaaah the 208, that's it!! Honestly wish I'd got one tbh I don't like how crap the engine seems to be for the 108, but it's not like I need to go fast anywhere so eh it's okay. Would you say the corsa or 208 would be a better choice?
