Got a work mail i have to answer tomorrow, and i can't se a way to do it without being at least passive aggressive... no one will probably mention anything, but i hate it, especially because rhe mail i received is so unnecessary and jet offending with a great number of people on cc

Tough, man. Do as you think it'd be right.

Me about coming out at work. I know they would be accepting, and if they somehow aren't i have no issue switching jobs, but somehow i am terrified of doing it.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 4 hours ago

Coming out is huge, we can lose control of the information really easily. There's no putting it back in the box and it can be passed to someone who doesn't get it. It's natural to feel anxious about it

That banana also happens to be the thing you’re anxious about.

I'm making a lot of changes in my life and I'm so anxious. For some reason, making a mistake by doing something worries me far more than making a mistake by doing nothing did.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Idk, no valuable change in my life went without fear

[–] piefood@feddit.online 4 points 13 hours ago

Being anxious during a lot of changes is a healthy response. Of course it can go overboard, but you got this!
