I have been called an emotional cripple, cold as ice, fired from jobs "you don't fit our culture", "we want to go in another direction," told I seem different, excluded socially in HS, harrassed by dorm mates in college, told I need to be more sociable, my non social behavior so "sickening," blocked from dating game until age 21, asked by first gf when in college "why don't u have any friends," unfavorable comparisons to guy she used to date, etc. Told by manager in one of my early jobs -"you would do better working w things than people."
