Skepticism in the Presence of Positivity - Time for Change

Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced that feeling of 'normality' when you are confronted to bad behaviour in the work place? Atrocious managers, negativity, liars, backstabbers trying to get one over on you, unkept promises. Had I sadly become so accustomed to this sort of behaviour, and despite not liking it at all, thought that this is how the world operated and I would never experience anything else?

For me, joining WA initially was frightening. I am an absolute beginner in terms of all this technology and creativity. I was waiting for that moment of "okay, so I was right, this is a scam". I became even more uneasy, when I was welcomed so warmly into the community, encouraged and assisted with questions, people rooting for my and everyone's success. This feeling of being "held", of being encouraged, of receiving constructive criticism felt unbelievably alien to me (friends and family excluded), I felt skeptical in the presence of positivity.

BUT, dear community. YOU have changed that. I can honestly say that there is a close knit, honest, wonderful community here. A place where I absolutely love being. I am completely obsessed. I have purpose. I have passion. I have determination.

No more skepticism in the presence of positivity. I will no longer accept anything else. I am thankful to you all.
