Hey everybody I hope everyone is doing well I just wanted to ask for advice on learning to trust and build relationships at work after leaving a toxic work place. For abit of context I used to be a apprentice and delt with a lot of personal bullying that went beyond hazing from the people who were supposed to teach me. After leaving this work place every social situation has changed I I now feel unsure of myself even in the most casual situation and expect to be lashed out at if I speak. I have lost all my friend because I couldn’t keep conversation anymore and making new friends seems impossible but I can live with that what’s harder to deal with is my new work place. Now I need to move out as soon as possible because the house I live in is full of people who steal from me and my partner so I need this job and might need to get a second job I don’t mind working but I haven’t been able to hold any steady conversations at work and I feel like I’m being left behind because people who start working there after me have been making fast friend with everyone basically if I could get out of my shell again it would make working tolerable because now I feel really hurt everyday at work even though most of my new co workers are pretty nice plus I work in retail so it would help my work a lot thank you to anyone who took the time to read all of this please be kind with your responses
