Today I received a message from a person I met at the fair I had last week, she was asking me for professional help, at first I thought that it could be related to our works, since she works at another institution (Secretaria de Salubridad y Asistencia), but upon reading her facebook status I knew it wasn't for that, it was something personal.
At first she only asked me if I was working as a psychologist, and the directions for my workplace, after some messages she told me that she wanted me to be her psychologist, that from that time we talked I inspired confidence to her.
This isn't the first time something like this happens (well, it is the first time as a psychologist), I have always been told to inspire confidence in other people since I got into college, and even before that. It has been pretty interesting, but sometimes I think people expect too much from me, I have been told things that I probably didn't want to know, from suicide attempts to abortions, depression, drug abuse, and many other things.
But it hasn't been all that tragic, it can have a good side too, like this friend told me that she was getting married before telling her best friends (I wasn't that close to this friend as her other friends :P), it felt weird, because I couldn't tell any of our friends, lol, but I kept the secret.
I still feel weird when someone I barely know says that he/she has confidence in me :P
that's cool, i have been told im intimidating...:/ not quite the same thing hahah
