| My favorite science teacher always told me, "it's cool to be different" and let me know that it's okay. But is it really? I'm writing this in the middle of an emotional breakdown, but I'm not so sure anymore. I'm at such an emotionally low point these last few weeks because at 26 years old... |

| LOL I had a teenage coworker who was involved with one of the managers too! She was very sweet though and one of the only ones who didn't bully me. She did get special treatment and a fast promotion, though. |

| I will look into that. It's ridiculous that regular associates are hiding their name tags and posing as "managers" to intimidate me. |

| Thanks a lot! That sounds like a really smart and effective approach. There is one woman in her fifties who works in the back, and they don't like her either. It's just bad company there. She told me it's all politics, and the ones they don't like are the first to get sent home early. She isn't popu... |

| There is absolutely no way I misplaced my camera. I'm very good with my things and I'm a neat freak, I have a designated "spot" for everything. I did check every corner of the house though to make sure and nope, nothing, nada. I have a very simple life, no social life, I just go to work an... |

| You're right, I don't want anything to do with them. I don't actually want in their inner circle, I don't want their social approval whether they're bullying me or not. I just want to go in, do whatever and get my money. I know how to play the game and make it seem like I care about them, though, be... |

| Update: I believe my coworkers stole my camera. I have a very clean house, always keep my camera in my purse, never leave it laying around. When I came home from my last shift, I noticed my camera was missing. I checked my car, the couch cushions, every nook and cranny in my house (believe me) and i... |

| I'm not really following, @dan82. I tried to befriend them and ask how they're doing, etc. and talk about things like music, etc. but the behavior I've observed from them is hostile. So I have made an effort to crawl out of my shell, put myself out there and paint myself in a positive and pro-social... |

| I'm planning to take a medical terminology class and a Microsoft Excel class so I can have a front office job in a medical facility. Weekends off, no food contact, sounds a lot more ideal. I'm sure it'll look more attractive on my resume, too. I'm tired of having to jump through fiery hoops just to ... |

| I take things too personally and I'm too whimsical/idealistic. My rosy colored imagination doesn't seem to have a place in a harsh world where everyone has been conditioned by an ill system devoid of compassion, and then I get depressed and negative. I'm highly sensitive. |

As helpful as that sounds, I'm in a position where I can't do that because of another current lawsuit with my last part-time job! I suffered damage to my hearing due to negligence and refusal to comply with safety procedures, thus exposure to harmful decibel levels.  |

| I live with her because I don't make enough money to live alone, minimum wage part time just enough to pay my phone and car insurance bills. I've tried getting retail jobs but the same thing happened and now it's hard for me to even get an interview even though I'm trying to get out of food service ... |

| Every single job I've ever had, I've been unpopular and I don't know why. I don't tell anyone I have Asperger's when I apply or get in, I know how to "turn on the charm" and function in a way that masks the cues, but I've never been able to hold a job down because the bullying has been off... |

| That's definitely me, I'm highly emotional, highly sensitive and expressive OR pretty much dead or ghostlike. It's all or nothing with me. |
