Sometimes I feel there's a disparity with how I see myself and how people see me. This happens most of the time in the workplace. When I go in there, I take my job seriously but I still have lots of fun. I work hard, I work with integrity and I do have hopes that I will be able to motivate people one step at a time and move the team forward.
People have an opinion on everything. There are weird people who make snotty comments about how I dress up, like they always ask me why am I wearing heels and all, or why do I dress up nice today. which is just for me completely bullshit because I haven't shopped in ages and they think I'm wearing something for the first time. Some people say I keep pleasing people. Some say I am indifferent to people. Probably they all couldn't just believe that even if people say a lot of weird things that don't make sense to me, I am still nice to them. I let them be themselves and I don't disrespect what they're saying. What is truly sad with all this is that these opinions come from people who I keep hanging out with. It is sad because this happens in any other workplace.
I don't think I have the patience to deal with this but it keeps nagging me in the sense that I have to deal with this and to at least say my opinion about this.
What keeps me going is turning to the people who believe I can do grand things and who creates a world where ideas are nurtured and not made fun of. Turn to their own selves and keep believing that the vision you are thinking today could be executed tomorrow. I get shot down most of the time, but all I have to do is go back to the drawing board and rethink.
