| I never formally left the forum and still post here every once in a blue moon, but like the OP I've also noticed the growing undercurrent of narcissism and cliqueishness that pervades. It started a long time ago and seems to only get worse as more time passes. It's so funny to me because a lot of pe... |

| As compelling as your argument is, I don't believe it demonstrates psychic ability to exist. I don't care if psychic experiences exist. Just thought it was funny how this guy really believes random people on the internet value his approval so much. :D As if these other people are actually sitting t... |

| Am I the only one who would take a cure? lol.. no, you're not the only sane one here. :wink: I don't believe, hypothetically, that if I were to take a cure I would become normal. Even if I gain the social abilities of an NT, my memories growing up as an aspie will still influence me. I would become... |

| There are other objective measurements of severity *besides* purely social ones, of course. One major example is whether or not you are able to drive a car. |

| The simple answer is to just do better work than him. Consider him the equivalent of noise in the system. On a factory floor, management cares most about productivity. Do better than him, and you should be fine. I have several times already, now that you mention it LOL; part of me can't help but th... |

| Some people are just in love with the sound of their own voice. Any anyone who isn't is instantly a threat. It may not hurt to ask him why's he's so insecure. What is it about your silence that him spooked. It is a little odd to be hounding you about it. Bottom line, if he is becoming that much of ... |

| Story of my life. I get that everywhere I go if I'm there more than 15 minutes. "Shh! Be quiet!" (sarcasm) "Do you ever talk?" "Say something." "I don't think I know what your voice sounds like." "Wow, you can talk!" "One day I'll get you to say more than 2 words." "You talk too much!" (sarcasm) "I... |

| He wants to piss you off, just to get you upset. He is an animal that enjoys the smell of fear, it enables him to hunt you more efficiently. He is a predatory beast. I would try meditation, to learn some control of your emotions, that is the doorway through which he walks. Keeping your mind at peac... |

| I've posted a couple of rants about things that happened to me at work before, but those were different jobs. Right now I'm working somewhere else where I'm about to hit the 4-month-mark which will be a personal best for me. Still not sure whether that has me more optimistic or depressed but anyway.... |

Also when I told him "no, that's sick" two women sitting adjacent to us just burst out laughing. He'd been making a spectacle of himself trying to hit on them like the whole day too, so I think they appreciated it.  |
