Thank you Justafriend306. I feel like something didn't feel right with it. A lot of times their interactions with me were inconsistent, and I felt like a burden or something (this was in the past). They were nice sometimes, and left me wondering other times. My supervisor never thanked me, and rarely talked to me. The woman who did thank me in the past, was the gruff woman I mentioned in my first post, and I am triggered by her. I didn't feel good about myself there. I am a college graduate and regardless of that, I want to be comfortable and be treated well. I don't care if I'm a janitor or a ceo or a jobless, childless, marriageless woman trying to better herself.
All that being said, I had just come back to volunteer again because, it's really weird...as a patron, someone who just comes in to check books out, they are really nice to me. And I have wanted to get to know them. I thought I could give volunteering another chance. But then when I did, I just found myself very triggered because of my trauma from the past, anxiety, and also some of the people who work there.
I think I did the right thing. Thanks for the support.
