I recently started volunteering at a nursing home because I want some experience since I want to become a nurse.
Well a lot of the residents today weren't particularly well and this elderly gentlemen said something extremely hurtful to me and hurt my feelings. And I'm trying to convince myself that it doesn't matter and stuff but I keep hearing his voice in my head and it's really bothering me.
