Hi everyone,

I have some sort of PTSD-anxiety from bullying in the workplace. I get anxious thinking about getting another job because of it . People would pick on me for almost everything and it made me very depressed. I remember they would pick on me for not having a girlfriend, not dating much, being 'too intelligent' (I had highest GPA and credentials for the job), other people would report me for things that were not true because they did not like me so I quit on the job because I could not handle very toxic work environment anymore. For training aspect of job, i would get yelled at for small errors in front of others. My manager would embarrass me in front of other colleagues by telling me I am the worst worker, she would downplay my successes and in the same rhythm comment that I am "very intelligent". My manager had it out for me and would accuse me of things were not true. I quit on the spot and she told me she was "Shocked" I quit despite her in the past saying I do not show initiative, blah blah blah (things were NOT true). I've never been in an environment like this before where I ACTUALLY had people target me. I was not part of their "clique" and I am terrified of it happening again. To this day I struggle with anxiety because of it. . It really became personal when other people would say, "You have no girlfriend. No friends. Don't party or go out and drink." That hurt the most. I'm trying hard to make friends and having someone expose that to me really hurt. these things were personal to me and it hurt so much. Telling me how "different" I am. I had to leave for my own mental health but it hurt so much that people would go out of there way to tear me down. I'm so scared it will happen again. All I wanted to do was work and make money and I left because of toxic environment. I want to get a new job but I'm scared of having to fit in. Any advice?
