almost having a psychology BS does not mean i am a counselor.
why is it that NO MATTER WHERE I AM someone wants to overshare?
is it because i go to a women’s college? because i really can’t handle people coming up to me and telling me their rape stories when it isn’t even during vagina monologues and they do not know anything about me.
so i work in a psychology learning lab where my job basically consists of: restricting food from rats once a day(in other words, feeding them), cleaning their shit, changing their cages, playing with them and dealing with the stupidity of people who haven’t yet accomplished using a PC program and/or people who do not like rodents. however, one adult student comes in without fail once(or in this week, TWICE) a week and overshares. overshares so much that it literally makes me want to throw myself into the path of an angry mother bear to be mauled just to escape how awkward the situation is. i could tell you her life story. LIKE THAT SHE WAS RAPED AS A CHILD SENT TO FOSTER CARE HAS BEEN MARRIED THREE TIMES IS GETTING DIVORCED FROM HER BIPOLAR ABUSIVE HUSBAND AND IS INCREDIBLY CHRISTIAN AND DOESN’T APPROVE OF CURSING. had we met in any other social arena(aka where i am not being professional), she would probably spend much of her time praying for my perverted deviant soul. instead, she’s keeping me at work longer than i need to be to talk about her divorce and other uncomfortable situations while i’m trying very hard to be understanding BUT NOT GETTING WHY SHE PICKED ME.
OH GOD WHY.
