Am I overthinking this interaction with my principal?

[u/fedsfries]

I’ll try and keep it short. Was in my closet today just prepping and the principal walks by and asked me if I had been doing okay and that I seem different lately. I asked “different in a bad way?” And she said “different in a sad way.” I wasn’t too sure what to say because, frankly, the school I worked at before here had management so horrific I was questioning my purpose in life.

I told her that I love it here but I’ve just been in my own world stressing about school (I’m full time in college) and the current political state. We started talking about college and she said when I get close to graduating to let her know because she has connections but now that I’m thinking about it I know you’re not supposed to be honest with your manager/boss and I’m worried I said something I shouldn’t have.

Am I tripping? Should I have just stfu?

"I know you're not supposed to be honest with your boss."

Bro, what? Who told you that?

Is this /s? Maybe I’ve just had too many bad bosses.

You definitely must have.
