Hi I'm new

Post Reply New Topic

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 suicidal.
I have just lost another job. It's a long story, but the end result was I had a panic attack and abandoned my job. (The panic attack was brought on by being treated like a pile of feces.)
My self esteem is so low now, but my intellect knows that I am amazing. I just can't access that part of my brain due to all of the failure I'm wallowing in.
I just want someone to say hi to me and maybe share some job horror stories. I just want to know I'm not alone.

Thank you.

Welcome! Don't worry, you are definitely not alone.

Hi there, I came here cause I feel lonely a lot. I'm sorry you're having a hard time from losing another job.

My job does have many aspects I really like, but also some stuff I don't like so much. It's 24 hours and I get to play spot the tweaker every night. Trust me, it's super easy, like finding Waldo without the other people.

One night, a co worker came to me and started complaining about one tweaker following her around. Well... She wasn't discreet at all about it so naturally when she left, the tweaker runs up to me and immediately demands what she said about him... I don't exactly remember what I said, but I made up some lie and went to the back room for about a half hour until he left.

Hello and welcome to WrongPlanet

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 the bar industry translates to "I'm going to drink until you kick me out or I pass out."

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 wondering, I have Asperger's, and I have taken the time to use this site to mix with like-minded individuals, whether they may have Asperger's or not; and also to gain a better understanding of the condition.

Does anyone have any advice about blending in?

Hey Shardrenee welcome.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

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 your own denial, cradling your inner child, to shield you from the truth of your inadequacies and failures, and that's what gives your ego the power it has over you. Embrace your flaws and work on them. Stop putting stock into what others think of you, and start setting your own standards for yourself. Small improvements have made all the difference in my life so far. If you're wondering where to start, number 1 believe in yourself. Number two eliminate bad influences and people who use you or put you down. Number 3 find your flaws and be honest. Attack then 1 at a time until they become strengths.

Welcome!
I recently joined here as well because I've been going through a hard time. I hope you are able to find the support you need here
