  • I don’t care about

    I’ve told 3 coworkers already that I don’t talk to them

    Ok so now you’re adding more information here. 3 people. this sounds less about just having some standards and more of a pattern emerging here.

    What you are describing is more in line with how an APD thinks and behaves and not just a mere introvert trait.

    The introversion trait isn’t attached to aversion. It’s based on personal need. No one trait needs to be rude and throw all politeness out the window. That’s bigger than a mere trait. People with introvert trait (without comorbidity) can actually talk to people and have a social ability even at work and they do not shy away from socializing full stop. They take periodic breaks based on need.

    they feel offended

    Again: that’s predictive.

    Something doesn’t compute here. Unless you’ve misplaced yourself into a customer based industry and you’re just not a people person: Having a mere trait doesn’t end up with a collection of people aggressive at work. Nor would it be so attached to aversion and delivering hostile narrative on what other people must be thinking.

    There is a proper way to break a conversation without having to be abrupt about not wanting to talk. Simply having a trait doesn’t rule over basic common decency.

    You sound like you have something else going on aside from just the introvert trait.



  • First off, I’m am not seeing really great communication skills coming from your end in your story here.

    he keeps insinuating there is something wrong with me just because I don’t ask him about his private life

    This is predicting. Or do you actually know he thinks this? The use of ‘insinuating’ sounds like you’re filling in a lot of blank space with your own narrative. Unless he came out and actually said this, private information isn’t necessarily an unspoken agreed upon trade. And if it was that would be a fault on his side.

    And Just to get it out of the way: Introvert isn’t where you don’t want to socialize. It’s just a personality trait in how you recharge with or without socializing. Typical introvert would not avoid socializing altogether. They’d socialize and then excuse themselves for a time being. This is of course with healthy preferences of who to socialize with like any average person could have and that is perfectly fine but that isn’t a trait of what makes a person introvert or extrovert. That’s just having standards.

    Either way, this just sounds like you have made a choice that this person isn’t for you and you have some unspoken boundaries and expect someone to know your boundaries without telling them. Even if you think you are being clear with social queues this might be a case of miscommunication of what a social queue is for you and what he reads communication(possible) . But I wouldn’t leave that to assumption.

    People aren’t mind readers so of it is bothering you this much you could tell him like several others are suggesting.

    after that if he doesn’t let up, see HR as that would be harassment at that point.




  • You know how you fill in security questions or have a certain knowledge about yourself that other people trust only you to answer to in order to permit you access to your own information online such as accounts?

    Well a hacker can use that shit and then you have a long road to convince anyone who ever lost trust in you because of that that you have been hacked.

    Also you want to protect the people on your contact list if you want to keep their trust.

    You shouldn’t even give your phone number out. That’s linked to accounts.





  • Well you certainly don’t that applies for everyone. And for all I know you, you could be super negative, project the worst scenarios only and/or you could be the problem in all your relationships and this is the excuse you landed on for maintaining a delusion.

    You could be lying about having a wife just so you can ‘win’ an argument online with a total stranger online.

    Not a far reach considering your response here.







  • -Life is too short for bad coffee, bad wine, bad shoes and bad people.

    -spend the required money in a good bed and a good chair. When it comes down to it later, it is not negotiable for your back.

    -you will have to have a lawyer involved sometimes such as drafting up a will. It’s worth it. Also: do your will and sort out your stuff even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

    -clean like you’re moving house once a year. Cut down on the hoarding.

    -‘no’ Is a complete sentence.

    -sometimes acceptance of a situation is what it is is the only closure you’re ever going to get.

    -acknowledge your stuff <—//—> other people’s stuff. Others might not work on their own stuff but they aren’t your job.

    -resentment isn’t always something someone gives you nor is it the reality of the situation. Sometimes a person invites it along. Eg: assuming such things as someone being late to dinner is a personalized slight to your energy and time.

    -try not to confuse misunderstanding with malice.

    -remember the good ones. It’s so easy to just count the nasty people in your life and have them as your comparison for things. Spending your energy this way overlooks all the good people in your life and that’s not fair to them and the effort they put in with you.
