MatBell it sounds like you may be doing an internship of some kind; in any case perhaps some kind of training situation.

But setting the situation aside, (1) glad talking to your father helped you to feel better. Good to find things like that you can do to help yourself. (2) I have the impression - maybe wrongly, but - I have the impression that you are a Highly Sensitive Person. That's a trait that really exists, in case you don't know about it.

Highly sensitive people tend to have a hard time with the world, including but not limited to, the working world. Things that happen there can be extremely upsetting to us.
