Scared to Start

Going to be starting a long stint at a firm. In my previous internship (different firm) I got treated like absolute shit and was gaslit, manipulated, reputationally damaged and dealt with some absolute insufferable people that were just downright unapologetic pieces of trash.

I am not concerned about the hours or the work, but I am really concerned to become depressed again by having to work with people who can make your life a misery. I'd appreciate if anyone has any advice with this type of anxiety of starting a new role or if this behaviour is just the way it is and I should just suck it up.

Thank you.
