Is it normal that all people misinterprets my decisions?

Is it normal that all people misinterprets my decisions?

I resigned on my previous job for the reason that I really don't want to work on that company and I feel that I'm not going to improve my skills and abilities if I stay there too long. But now, unfortunately, I'm not capable of finding a decent job where I can work on again. So, people tell me that I only waste the opportunity and my time looking, and if I stay on my old company it'll be better. I always tell them my side but it seems that they don't understand me, they think I'm crazy and the fault is in me. I'm fine looking for any job, waiting and hoping to find one but I'm more pressured to what people thinks on me...

is it normal or I'm the only one experiancing it???

    People usually get a new job then resign from their old position. Good on you for bucking the trend. Live on the street, eat dirt, have sex with a bear.

        I agree, it is useful advice. I was very unhappy with an office job for over seven years until I finally gave up to become a bear prostitute. Things have been going great for me ever since, other than the bear herpes.

          Holy crap! I can only imagine how nasty bear herpes must be! Do bears cuddle after?

    I think people are just looking out for you. They probably are listening to your reasons for quitting but also think it'd have been better to endure the job until you can improve yourself even further by finding something more suitable. To them, you have probably taken a negative step.

    To a future employer, it may seem that way too. I understand why you made your decision but it would have been possible to feel exactly the same way and come to a different decision.

    It's always easier to find a job when you're in a job as you don't feel the same pressure at interviews etc.

    Keep looking.

    Do want you want to do. They might be trying to look out for you and make sure you have a stable job or they might not.

    I respect you decision, and am a little jealous! I don't have the option of resigning my current job until I have another one because i'm the sole breadwinner in my household and bills gotta get paid!

    Well because it doesn't seem like a very intelligent decision and I am sure your loved ones wish that you would have consulted them before you made the decision.

    Honestly? Quitting a job because you just didn't like it before making sure you had another job to go to seems like a very juveline decision. I understand why you did it, but you shot yourself in the foot and I'm doubting your relatives want to watch you struggle to find another job after you willingly leave one that was working out for you.

    Hopefully, you have a savings to fall back on. If my sister left her job because she just "didn't like it" and I was the one that she would be coming to when she couldn't pay her rent, I'd be awfully disappointed in her.

    • I agree to you that "Quitting a job because you just didn't like it before making sure you had another job to go to seems like a very juveline decision."
      and thats the only thing that I havent consider in making my decision.. I admit to them that I am wrong but I really dont feel that they care on me, besides they even discourage and humiliate me. I don't feel their support and help.. :(
