I am having some pleasant surprsise at work.. and again I can really see how bad my own self image is..
I have been basically telling my manager that I need to resign. And he has been trying to hold me back quite a bit. He is asking me to transfer to a branch in my country and has been trying to get into contact with people, and is asking me to consider working from home for sometime etc.
I thought he would be happy to see me go. I very firmly believed he would be extremely happy if I resigned. Especiallly given the slack in my performance 6 months back (though I changed it after that).
It was quite a nice feeling ..
It brings me back to the same thing of how bad my self image really is.. I think people do like me. But I tend to imagine the worst. Actually I was even thinking they might fire me a while back. But it turns out to be the opposite.
Same thing happened a while back when I was trying for a job in my country. I thought I wouldn't receive any offers and was too scared to attend an interview. I thought they won't even consider me for an interview. But it turned out that I was receiving more offers and I had to turn down so many companies.
Why is my self image so bad?
