| If you bring this issue up OP, it's possible your manager would assume that you cant handle the job & you might get fired. If you could possibly transfer to another department at the store & say do something like stocking shelves or custodial stuff instead, it might be worth a try asking for... |

| I was recently reading Very Short Introductions (VSI) , and it mentioned that one of the elements of happiness refers to being familiar with the environment. I think "being familiar with the environment" can answer this thread. For me, "familiarity" is difficult to achieve. I ca... |

| Rather than the traditional usage contrasting real with fraudulent intent, today's usage often means the degree or depth of emotional investment. For example the person that drives to a flower shop and purchases the fresh flowers himself has made a greater investment of himself which shows her how ... |

| That would be a rather dystopian future. Not being able to see relatives of the opposite gender, not being able to have friends of the opposite gender...I wouldn't want that. It'd certainly suck for m/f couples perfectly happy together. Identity, both internalised and enforced, and modern lifestyle... |

| The etymology of the word sincere is from the Latin meaning "without wax". It was used to describe pottery in the ancient world that did not have a leaking seam or hole that was plugged with wax so that it seemed to hold water when it actually wouldn't in the long run. The usage today usu... |

It's possible you might never have felt you were very accepted which could make the question harder to answer. If that is the case you could try writting that. Were you asked this by a therapist type person  |

I'll add that stress, anxiety, depression, burnouts, shutdowns, & physical pain can make it harder to fo... |

You could try asking personnel/management about taking a leave of absence for a bit for health reasons while try... |

Too cold & too dry for infestation with minimal effort required for control. I've come across bedbugs while travelling and they're pretty gross, but I guess the same appli... |

| I agree, but unfortunately that's the way society is and will continue to be. If being single and childfree was shown more in a positive light in the media more people would feel comfortable with where they are in life. But...what if society showed us the darker side of marriage and parenting? Woul... |
