It’s good that you are crying less at work. It’s also important to understand that it isn’t your co-workers’ responsibility to help you become emotionally mature. In fact, looking to them to help with this is the very definition of emotional IMmaturity. This is something you have to do on your own. While a family should help young children with this, it is also no longer your family’s job now that you are 29 years old. Many of us on the forum never had families to help at all growing up— yet we taught ourselves these skills because we had to. It is very possible to learn this on your own. I’m not sure how you’ve kept jobs for very long with these behaviors, but you won’t stay at a job much longer if you are crying and asking your co-workers to comfort you instead of focus on work. It’s inappropriate and they will eventually wear out.
