It came back to me today when I was told I wasn't good enough for a job at one of the "cool" tech companies in the city where I live.
Negative thoughts entered my mine immediately after being ushered out of the shortened interview. Will I have to take yet another [redacted] contract job with no benefits to make ends meet? What did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why? Is there a huge surplus of people who are better than me? Are my skills and talents really that weak?
What do I do? I usually go back to music, both listening and playing. I may listen to something uplifting to improve my mood (U2 - Beautiful Day, Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up) or something that lets out anger (Foo Fighters - The Pretender, Iggy and The Stooges - Search and Destroy, Sturgill Simpson - You Can Have The Crown). That seems to push the negative out of my mind....until the next time.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
