Hi Folks,
I am sad to say that bullying [in more sublte forms] has continued to be part of my life experience as a professional, even working in welfare services for developmentally disabled/different people. Some NT professionals cannot seem to help themselves, but it also seems to be an inherent "ingredient" in politics and personality issues in any NT social network. It seems to be a game they play naturally against and with each other and it is not taken personally. It is a bit like sport for some of them.

So what do you do when you don't want to "play" anymore, have a nervous breakdown trying to keep at a game you can't win? God I had one and I realized that it wasn't worth my sanity to keep up with people's crap. So I've made it my business not to let people run over me and treat me with disrespect. Grade school is over with and I don't tolerate grade school behavior toward me.
