Well, this happened this morning. Guess I should really get tested. For reference, I have an internship at a hospital and my supervisor spoke to my supervisor about some concerns they have, but they didn’t talk to me :/

Unless you’re an at will employee this feels like some kind of discrimination. Idk what exactly since you’re not diagnosed, but it feels very invasive and strange for an employer to assume you hate your job just because you don’t express obvious happiness at work, and to assume you must be ND. Some people just have RBF 🤷🏻‍♀️ not saying that’s your case but it’s weird overall

as long as you're working well and focused who cares what kind of facial expression you have. also self starter is lame too, you're a student, i'm not a nurse but i work healthcare-adjacent and during my clinical i couldn't do shit without checking in with somebody. but anyway. internship site seems bad. also your professor shouldnt be asking you that

Sorry, just realized you said internship. Ignore the bit about being at will but the rest still stands

I should’ve clarified- my professor is not my supervisor. I didn’t have a problem with her asking me because she was trying to understand why my supervisor was having communication issues with me. Granted, my supervisor barely communicates with me as it is

I’m thinking if this continues to go bad I’m gonna ask to go somewhere else

Also, I’m in social work, so it isn’t that weird for professors and students to discuss their mental health diagnoses. We’re all pretty open about it
