| I've dealt with what I consider to be borderline bullying. I had a boss who would put pressure on me to do things that I considered a bit shady, like "messaging the data" or "fudging" a report to make the team look better. I just said "I'll get to work on that", and the... |

| I closed all of my social media accounts a many years ago (maybe 8 years now). My original motivation was actually social anxiety. I found that being on social media made me feel just as anxious as many of the social situations I most feared. Like going to a party and being in a room full of people.... |

| It depends on what job you're doing. Not all work is in offices doing presentations or designing products. For example, I clean buses at a bus depot and teamwork is extremely important here. We have to share equipment, and when you share equipment you need to know how to share, otherwise you'll jus... |

| Don't try to make the individual a team player but do encourage and praize him or her for the work that they do... This. I think there are actually studies out there in the fields that study these kinds of things that show that in many situations people are less creative and productive when working... |

| Thanks for your reply. It really helps me feel better to know that there are other people out there who can relate. I am thankful that this site exists, and for the people on it. I think you are right that their lives haven't given them the background to understand my struggles. I imagine that the t... |

| I haven't been on this forum for over a year, and what prompted me to come back is that I am struggling with something and feel that maybe this is probably one of the few places where people might understand what I am going through. I kind of hate that this is my reason for coming back, and I hope t... |

| Overall when it comes to thinking and behaving in a rigid or obsessive manner a key thing to being able to change that is learning how to 'let go'. Typically or at least a lot of the time, I think a rigid way of thinking/being stems from insecurity and fear. If you are adhere to certain patterns, h... |

| To be able to have more rewarding conversations a certain amount of flexibility is required. So I think you're on the right path. I suppose you can feel reward from conversation while being "stuck in your thinking" because then a feeling of "winning" can be present. That makes i... |

For me it fluctuates widely based on my mood. I can go from having a deeper, authoritarian sounding voice to having a soft and more child-like voice. Really, it would be convenient if I had better control over it.
On a related note, I often hear that my face looks 5-10 years younger then my age. |

| When I think about it though, I have gotten some valuable help from irrational sources. Not that I think it is ever helpful to believe false or irrational things. But a more than a few times a metaphor or a meaningful story has made a huge difference in how I see things, for the better. On the other... |
