What am I unable to see? Members of my social group have all but told me to be a receptionist despite that they all have professional careers and earn near a six figure salary. Not long ago I was able to refer a friend who recieved a job offer in education earning a living wage without a degree and much professional experience. I also refered a friend to a job earning $150k a year. Am I being too demanding because when I've complained my group has said being a receptionist is a compliment and that they couldn't do the job and since I have not felt warmly. But others think I am being unreasonable and many in the group have stopped reaching out to me. From my perspective I feel for the first time in my life I can ask for better than a group that would suggest jobs earning minimum wage. Its not about my ego, its about being in at an age where I know what I want in friendships and can ask for respect. Although, I am looking for a social group that is more empathetic, I do have to leave open the possibility that I am dead wrong for nobody to see my POV. I do realize that I am different and at times stuck on trauma.
