Got disfigured in accident
30M, Got disfigured four year ago in a bad accident.
My face and body looks different.
My doctor has told me he has never seen it this bad before and my surgeon told me to accept it because my body is still strong and I can work.
The problem is i've been getting comments from people about me being ugly and some negative reactions from girls in general at the workplace. I only go to work to pay my bills I dont care much about the social aspect but the fact that people have to see me kind of bothers me.
I work in a warehouse and there are a lot of people here but its the easiest job I could find that pays good that I am actually able to do, and I got a contract and the supervisor said im doing a good job.
Two girls gave me a disgusted look and one guy made a comment/joke about me being ugly and two people laughed. Most of the times im just being ignored.
My irl friend that I texted too about what happened told me that he would become depressed and accept it but that he would probably become a farmer because he doesn't want people at work to see him.
I don't know what to do because I can't leave this job and I don't know what other kind of job I could get in the future that doesn't involve other people.
My family also has a hard time accepting this and they are having unreasonable expectations of me and are also gaslighting me because of their own negative feelings towards the situation. They pretend like everything is fine and nothing really bad happened and that I can still do everything that I ever wanted.
What would you do in this situation?
