I wasn't myself if...

...I am so preoccupied with something. Like now, I was so loaded with 20 students online. I still have one more class to finish. Whew! As I mentioned before, Saturday and Sunday are my busiest days. The feeling of preoccupied when slow learners were the ones booked for these days. When do you feel not yourself? How do you handle not being yourself? Image Credit: thumbs.dreamstime.com

I usually just take a nap to become myself again.

This is the best thing to do. I had a nice sleep last night and ready to face the world again today.

Am always infuriated with security guards harassing me because I am female. Gets the better of me most of the time. Grrrr.

@Shavkat I did that one time. Reported to the manager of the security guards of the hospital where my daughter was working. The boss listened and the guards kept their distance. But through the years, the guards change, too. What I do now is pretend I was videoing them. Works.

@eileenleyva It seems that the management needs to check on this from time to time. Perhaps they need to be oriented on how to treat the people coming in and out of the hospital.

I think we need to report them. If I am in your shoes, they will be reported.

What if it's a slow teacher taking up the student's time? I always feel like myself... it would be weird if I felt I was you or someone else.

I am sure I am not that kind of teacher. Not only feel this way, but also the other virtual teachers.

@Shavkat Hmmm... I see. But do the students feel that way is the real question... And do you know if the other teachers are slow or not?

Sorry your weekends are so busy. I always feel like myself, and that’s a good thing.

I need to endure the life of being not myself for the weekends. On weekdays, the best time to be relaxed and calmed.

Yes, I had a lot of students online on weekends. One more reason, they are having a winter vacation. It is the best time for virtual teachers to grab the opportunity to earn more. It was like a feeling of one in a lifetime chance.

When do you feel not yourself? I'd like to say never but really ain't sure. How do you handle not being yourself? Constantly remind myself who I am.

While being like one, I always think about my personal goals in terms of earning a living.

If I am being observed during the class, then I need to be myself.

I'm sorry weekends are your busiest days. I get restless when things aren't going right.

I can understand how it feels. I also feel restless when things are not going swimmingly.

Looks like problem of plenty but also challenging due to slow learners. Week-ends are easier for others but otherwise for you. Take a break when you can.

Since it is the winter vacation of Chinese students, I need to grab the chance to earn more before next month. Next month, it will be back to normal for me.
