| Thanks so much for the replies. I feel a lot less abnormal now. I also found that getting barrages of texts or phone calls from my partner really stressed me out and despite being physically alone, those messages somehow stopped me from being alone emotionally. Eventually we had to break up because... |

| As I read your opening post, a particular book kept flashing through my mind, and if you are a reader, it may help you understand how workplace sociopathic saboteurs work, and how we tend to only wake up to the systematic damage they do to their targets when we hit back, and then they play the vict... |

| Sorry to hear what's happened, but I think that your response to it is admirable. I didn't get my drinking under control until I'd done some pretty awful things that shocked me into realising how badly the boozing was affecting my judgment, self-control, and mental health, and that I was sometimes ... |

Yes, I've filled out an online assessment form with one of them and just waiting for a counsellor to call me back. |

| I would never do that to anybody. A couple of days ago I thought I could say the same. Oh well, yet again I'm a late bloomer. I got my drivers license much later than most people. Same as losing my virginity and having a relationship. Trying pot for the first time. And now taking a swing at someone... |

| How do you hit someone softly? By not hitting them as hard as you potentially could. In Australia they're known as "love taps". The first punch was out of anger. The next 2 (maybe 3) were just to try and goad him into fighting back. I really wish people knew how much of a tough guy this i... |

| It may also help your case if you get treatment for your drinking like joining AA, rehab or something else. It's great if you can learn from this & turn things into a positive. Yeah I felt so depressed and ashamed the next morning that I started calling alcohol and counselling hotlines immediat... |

| Get a good lawyer / solicitor or whatever you call them in Oz and tell them everything hopefully your honesty will work in your favour - this can backfire though. Since this will likely affect my ability to get another job, I'm not sure I can afford a lawyer. I can go to a government office to get ... |

| I've been posting on WP again recently coz I lost my job (it was my fault but other people were doing the same serious stuff as me like drinking during work hours but I was the only idiot honest enough to admit it when HR confronted us all separately). So last night I unexpectedly drank with one of ... |

| So ... what was it like for you growing up? Is that an honest question? :P :wink: I'm just not used to people taking a genuine interest for any good reason. My childhood was f*****g awesome! I grew up in a small town in Australia in late 80s early 90s. I had the 90s kid version of the Stranger Thin... |

The type of paranoia where 2 people are talking about something which on a literal level has nothing to do with me but I've interpreted it as being about me. I know that is possibl... |

| I can read body language easily and I like socialising. I have Asperger's. Did you have to learn body language? I've picked up a few tricks from experts but how did anyone just originally know these things? Is it really an innate skill some people possess? What an amazing advantage. From my point o... |
