| I totally agree with what you're saying about illogical policies. I get mad about this every single day, mainly to do with government laws and not punishing criminals appropriately. I had a similar experience to you when trying to adopt a dog. I chose this dog called Dudley. The rescue called me to ... |

| On Friday my mother in law stated that I enjoy being miserable and unhappy. Several things had happened over the past couple of days which built up and caused me to have a meltdown. I find it very hurtful that someone who is supposed to care about me would say this. I am sure that there is no one on... |

| This is very interesting because I had similar thoughts (memories?) of another life from when I was aged 3-4 in this life. I was a young woman with long blonde hair and I travelled with the circus as a trapeze artist. I think I was involved with 2 men and I saw the face of one of these men who was v... |

| I'm not overqualified and I won't complain about small pay. Employers doing this to my maladjusted kind. The way I got my first thing I would consider a held job was last year. At a printing company I was a maintaince guy. I'll admit im far from perfect, but I still have hope when I move with my pa... |

| It's clear to me now that my mum is on the spectrum. We are similar in a lot of ways but very different in others. My mum will not accept there is anything wrong with her, or with me for that matter. She doesn't even realise how different she is or that she offends people unintentionally. She has al... |

| It does feel like people get angry when I have a different opinion to them eg just recently I said that I think that workers should be paid for their lunch break and my family got really angry with me because I didn't agree with their point of view that they shouldn't. OMG does it really matter? It'... |

| So sorry for your loss moviefan. For me the loss of a loved one is extremely hard to deal with. My Grandad was the first person I lost who I cared for a lot. It helped me to believe that he was still around in spirit. I don't know if you believe in this kind of thing or not. I wasn't sure at the tim... |

| Let's think about what's going on in a McDonald's manager's mind when interviewing the adult and teen applicants, holding all else equal. The adult applicant, let's call him Tim, has never worked before, but is clearly an adult. Does this mean he is hiding something? Perhaps he has a history (which... |

| It sounds like you are still suffering stress and anxiety so I don't really understand why you were signed off disability, if this was the reason for your disability. I understand why you feel scared to get a job. I feel the same way. I've had a couple of really bad experiences with work in the last... |

| It sounds really nasty how these coworkers are treating you. In answer to your question I would say no, I don't think think this is you. Some people are just plain nasty and probably see you as an easy target to vent their nastiness. I've encountered a lot of these type of people in the workplace as... |

| If you love animals and have experience handling dogs and cats, you could become your own boss as a pet-sitter when people go away on holidays. You will have no boss and no coworkers. Your clients will be out of town and you will be able to work completely alone. The only time you need to talk to y... |

| I don't know if those responses of yours were ever sent, but I don't think it matters. What I mean is, your boss sounds like a bully in those quotes. Like a scary person it would be unhealthy to be around. Like potentially physically threatening. The tone is downright disturbing. You're better off ... |
