Help

Im trying so hard to stay focused with my work, but I lost a long term bf and, a group of my friends became very *****y towards me, i guess kids just like drama and 'banter' (picking on other people and each other) I recently found that I have HSP, highly sensitive people syndrome, so I dont like when people pick on other people, and especially when they pick on me. I like being nice cause i think that smiling and being nice would attract good things, law of attraction. i just need new friends so I can forget these ones. I feel often bullied by my previous 'friends' and i dont often get along with people because they are often very negative and throw 'banter' which hurts my feelings. how do I cope because i spent all day with them?

Noria, work is a challenge. Outside you can choose your friends. Inside work you either learn to insulate yourself from it or not react to it or choose a new job.

People that bully you are not friends and maybe never were. I often find myself picking the ones that are least sensitive. Focusing on work and being a social recluse are coping methods. If bullying continues see if the boss is on your side and maybe can move you to a new seat that is less vulnerable to bullying.
Thank you for sharing your story.

People can be hard to deal with especially when we are so open hearted. Our feelings can be kind of heavy to carry. The thing that helps me most is trying to take care of myself. If I try to do the things that I like and I eat right and take care of rest I am much stronger and can handle things better.

My advice would be to forget those "so called" friends and make new ones.

In addition to what was said above, a simple technique that is often helpful when feeling stressed is simply to become aware of your feet touching the floor. You can return to this awareness at any time when feeling stressed.
