I'm stupid.
I went into work even though family member has symptoms of covid.
I get easily confused by rules, even obvious ones.
I blurted to colleague that sister was waiting for test result. They told boss who told me to go home.

I think my colleagues are unhappy with me.

I'm very sorry.

My sister had health anxiety and goes for lots of tests. I'm not sure she needed a test.

I'm sorry for being stupid. I don't hurt people deliberately

Edit, it's obvious when I was reminded of rules that I should isolate but information doesn't seem to sink in . I don't know what is wrong with me

Dear BBB2,

Please do not be hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. I've made some big ones in my life.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
Thanks for this!

Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. We all do things that, later on, we can see didn't make sense. That doesn't make one stupid. And, although I don't know you, I doubt you're stupid. It does sound, though, like you perhaps have some self-esteem issues. Is it possible you might have ADHD or have you been diagnosed with it? Inattentiveness is, as I understand it, a symptom of ADHD.

I'm sorry you feel so down on yourself. Perhaps if you're seeing a mental health professional of some sort (a psychologist or mental health therapist) this might be something to delve into with them? Under any circumstances, I hope you will be able to find a way to not feel you are stupid & need to apologize for yourself. Best wishes...
Thanks for this!

Thank you both.
I have wondered about adhd, but don't really have symptoms apart from making dumb decisions sometimes that are obvious in hindsight
