| It is audacious of you, to ask, at the time of an interview, but there may be some company doctor, which can furnish a formal excuse for you. Has anyone tried blurting out the disability during the interview? I think that's my next tactic, as I've got nothing to lose anymore. Also I'm thinking that... |

| Hi there, I joined Wrong Planet a couple of months ago, due to the fact that I have great difficulty blending in with more mainstream groups / peers at college and elsewhere. As a result, this has often led me to sit by myself the whole time during breaks, lunch time, etc. In case any of you are wo... |

| You need to be mentally strong. Not trying to be unsympathetic, but I am prone to similar tendencies. In facing the truth, I've found it has set my soul free to some extent. I still hear voices but I choose to ignore them. I know they aren't real. And that hole you wallow in isn't real either. It's... |

| I have a weird mixed background and have different job leads I can consider. The main one regarding this topic is I may have a shot at Overnight Stock at Walmart. I asked someone I know who works who said that if you keep up, you might be able to listen to music with one earbud so you can still hea... |

| Thank you for the welcome. EgotisticalAltruist I enjoyed your spot the tweaker story. You must work a graveyard or second shift I'm guessing? I used to bartend, and while there were many perks, hearing drunk people say, "I'll just have one more," was not one. "Just one more," in ... |

| I lived on a commune for the first few years of my life. My mother was as liberal as they came. Then she got Jesus, and that is how she is able to justify Trump. It comes down to her homophobia, her fear of immigrants and her belief that ALL life is sacred (abortion.) It is disgusting to see was her... |

| Once upon a time I was a bartender. I made a comfortable living and I loved the schedule. Problem was the small talk, and not just the small talk. Add alcohol and you get repetitive small talk. I'm not sure how I managed to do that for more than a decade, but I finally decided it was killing me. A n... |

| I came here to try to connect with people you just might get me. I am depressed from a recent job loss--that couldn't have been more aspie!--and feeling isolated isn't helping. One of my two friends told me this is where I find my people. So I hope someone will at least say hello. Please. |

| Hello All, A friend told me I should come here to help me combat the "I got dropped off at the wrong planet" feelings that are really getting to me. I've become very isolated, and when I've tried to connect using Facebook, I almost always have a terrible reaction from disgust to feeling su... |

| Somehow I've managed to stay mostly employed until the past three years. I am now in a situation where I'm too depressed to get an interview, much less be chosen as the new hire. I keep looking at craigslist and seeing things like: dynamic, team player, multitasker, bubbly and these are for jobs lik... |

| I just clicked on this thread because I happen to be having problems with a professor, but not the kind you are having. I first attended University in 1990. I was in a higher level french class with a real b**ch of a teacher. I'm not even sure how I got to that level since I always had trouble with ... |
