    I’ve been working at my same job since 2016 and everything has gone ok. I recently got promoted, though, and ever since then I have seen a side to my immediate supervisor that I haven’t seen before. He is being more bossy and demanding, and my anxiety is getting triggered I think because I might be feeling trapped. I have heard of this side of him from other colleagues but haven’t seen it myself until now. Just for context there is no way that I cannot work under him/close to him without getting another job.

    I am doing my best to stay level-headed but at the moment it is hard and I have had trouble falling back asleep this evening. Anyone else been in this situation? I appreciate your feedback.

    Also, I have more reason than just my own experience for thinking he is narcissistic. As I said I had heard about this from other people, but I just haven’t felt it directed at me until now.
