- But it can't go on like this! You'll have to put up with him for almost 10 months. Anya, we need to do something to boost your confidence. And I know a great way!
- Now repeat after me loud and clear: “I am beautiful. I'm smart. I am a good nurse...”
- “Jimmy...asshole!”
You could characterize your relationship with Anya as: “Great, until Jimmy shows up on the horizon.” When she saw him, Anya would immediately lose it, and all her confidence would be gone. Sometimes it even caused her to stutter. And Jimmy brazenly and ruthlessly used it, often bringing the girl to tears, rolling on her self-esteem bulldozer of insults and ridicule.
It hurt you to see your friend lose confidence around someone who constantly criticizes her and hides behind Captain Curly's back.
One day, when you and Anya were sitting in the medical bay having a peaceful conversation, you brought up the subject of her insecurity in the presence of “Captain Jimbo”. She immediately , but eventually admitted that she was afraid of him because she noticed his emotional instability and how he was not serious about her and her work. And there's nothing to say about his psychological tests, it's laughable.
You smiled and took Anya's hand and lifted her up.
At first Anya was shy and spoke quietly, but each time her voice sounded more and more confident, and a ray of joy shone in her eyes. However, you made one mistake. Anya did not contain her emotions and exclaimed:
And at that moment, the door to the sick bay opened, and, as in ridiculous sitcoms, on the threshold appeared ... Jimmy. His mouth was open, as if he were about to say something, but there was a sinister light in his eyes. You and Anya instantly tensed up.
Yep. The self-esteem boost took a turn for the worse...
