Am I wrong to be upset my friend put me on speaker?
If your friend understood that it was supposed to be a confidential conversation, she should have told you she wasn’t alone or ended the call.
The problem is my family. For whatever reason, my parents and siblings don’t seem to want to remember what I do. When people back home ask what I’m up to, they come up with vague or dismissive answers. When they tell me about it later, they seem to think it’s funny. I don’t care that they’re not interested in what I do, but I feel humiliated and hurt when they act so dismissive of it to other people.
I have tried explaining what I do numerous times. It’s not confusing. I have even suggested they use broader alternatives . Nothing has changed.
