I have this immediate and intense reaction to when someone yells at me. For the most part I don’t tolerate people who behave like that anyways. But I do work in hospitality and every once in a while we get someone aggressive. A woman screamed at me today about something very silly and I thought she was ridiculous, but acknowledging that on a cognitive level did not change the fact that I was shaking terribly and remained physically shaking on and off all day and couldn’t stop being on edge and in full panic mode ALL day (about something seriously unimportant).
I once brought it up to a therapist and they said that being upset when someone yells at you is a natural reaction but I don’t want to spend an entire day shaking and under extreme stress because someone else felt like yelling.
The strange part of it all is that growing up and dealing with what I did, I didn’t react that way…I couldn’t, for the simple fact that it was all day every day. But now that it only happens maybe once a year, I just fall apart when it does.
Anyone relate or have success beating that reaction?
