I'm sort of known for 'not being included' never having a remark directed at/to me so it would be odd and bizarre for me to speak now. Last visit at sh***y Xmas time was so very bright and breezy (to collect) wife - I am sure it gave a good hint - I give you people zero status. You see, this teacher trained four years older than me thing even thirty years on in their minds is still being perpetuated, they never acknowledge my skills, abilities or success. Having a difficult perhaps alpha dog has helped me deal with situations like this.
Oh yes, to the previous person that said 'be sarcastic' .......my difficulty is that if I'm not engaged in a 'favourite subject' I have zero conversation - cannot form words. Anyone out there feel the same??
