Question; if I feel like my coworkers are critical yet un-encouraging in ways that hammer on my issues, what are my chances that

1) their communication style *is* discouraging, and would be discouraging to someone without my issues?

2) I’m imagining the situation as worse than it is thanks to catastrophizing and verbal/emotional abuse as the follow up to pointing out mistakes in both my childhood and this past year?

3) both?

@Leucrotta likely both, in my experience dealing with this kind of thing

i wish i had more than sympathy for your situation v_v
