I have a phone interview in 45 minutes for a job that I hope will finally enable us to be financially independent and move away from my BF's family. Most of them (uncle, cousins) have been helpful, but his mom is the worst - narcissistic, critical, always saying things to stoke anxiety and distress, constantly telling my BF that he's 'embarrassing' her and 'everyone' is upset with him over petty things. I get less of it, but I've had my share of her negativity, too, because she can't seem to help herself.
It's been a long time since I was young enough to walk into a job interview with bravado and innocent/ignorant confidence. I did a positive mindset/self-esteem meditation, which helped. I would like to go into this interview feeling confident, self-assured, acting like I already have the job. I am trying really hard not to let my habit of pessimism and self-defeatism and anxiety run away with me. If anyone has any words of advice (or encouragement!), I'd be grateful!
