'I have a hard time brushing things off easily. Especially, if the minor 'offenses' get repeated over and over again.'
Rappler's Life and Style section runs an advice column by couple Jeremy Baer and clinical psychologist Dr Margarita Holmes.
Yet I have negative feelings towards her. My boss came from a poor background, whereas I did not. My privileged background is often the subject of"light-hearted" jokes for her. Sometimes, I can brush it off but sometimes I can't. But my problem is that sometimes, I don't handle things well and get affected. I have a hard time brushing things off easily. Especially, if the minor"offenses" get repeated over and over again.
I know that I am not perfect myself, and that I also need to change and adjust some attitude. That I need to have more patience. That I have my flaws as well. And possibly, I have not yet made peace with them that's why I have all these negative feelings. But every day is a struggle. And I get overwhelmed with all my problems and the stuff in my head, even simple chores like laundry get me agitated when I can't do them because of all the other stuff I've been thinking.
You say that your boss is kind, your mentor both at work and in life, is your only close friend at work, gives you lifts almost daily etc. Against this, she makes jokes about your privileged background. Well, this seems a small price to pay for the huge benefit that her friendship is bringing you.
Take note: Equity does NOT mean equality It is not about the number of rewards and costs, but the balance between them. If a person puts a lot into a relationship and receives a lot, it will seem fair to them.
