Okay...when you don't do what people expect, something is wrong. That's just the way it goes.
W was out of bounds, for sure. That is messing in your livelihood and not acceptable (to me) at all.
The tattoo thing is going to haunt you for a while.. MY take? make it into something else and let people know when they ask. Kind of a fake it til you make it strategy.
Start wondering why you are viewed negatively...is it your attitude? Are you Eeyore?
Stop what iffing...it will kill you slowly, just wait. See what happens and make plans from there. Today is passing you by and guess what? There's not another one.
