maybe we need to bring back, Mean People Suck bumper stickers on the cars. I'm not immune to this either, maybe a combination of many things. when psych places ask me to say 5 good things about myself, I never say 'nice' that seems too fake. this might have something to do with Tina Turner, Sheri. I'm being who I am. but why is there still bullying going on in schools. saw on here, the 7th grader, LGBTQ, killed himself over it. this just should not be happening.
ganging up, and group bullying is probably the worst. I've experienced it in the T.I. community, and on political sites, shit, I went thru it in 8th grade.
ReplyDeletedid they think you were different in 8th grade? if they did, I didn't realize it.
ReplyDeleteyou were diagnosed late, Sheri. yeah, and still didn't want to think I'm different from everybody else.
ReplyDeletebut now you're called a troll if you go against the grain on Facebook. you even say it, Dare to be Different. yeah.
ReplyDeletealso, I was bullied out of a job in the real world,
ReplyDeletetold the manager, HR, my supervisor,
they did nothing about it,
said, You need proof.
that could have been even More harassment,
because when I told them I have schizophrenia,
they didn’t believe me about the bullying!
anyway that experience should have been protected
justt like sexual harassment.
when it happened again at that place, making fun of the mentally ill to another guy right in my earshot, so I could hear, I asked that guy to go HR and tell them, and he did. that was proof. they still did nothing.
ReplyDeletemy supervisor asked me if he was doing it because he's seen my blog. I told her, Yes. I nevertold anyone there about my sz, until I had to. that's a third form of harassment, Sheri. but up for debate today, what you post online, and your job.
ReplyDeleteyou could have won. yeah, but then they'd fire me.
ReplyDeleteso what, you'd have money!
ReplyDeleteyou'd the judge or whomever, after that experience you went back to drinking and smoking, and stopped working out. you were doing the best you ever could while working there at that time.
ReplyDeleteyour parents should have gotten you a lawyer,
ReplyDeletebut nope,
more recently my step-dad said,
There are too many lawsuits in this world.
geez.
My daughter told me, You need to tell him to knock it off, mom. I didn't know what would happen, and I didn't want to get into a fight on my job.
ReplyDeleteit would have made it worse, he would have screamed at you every name in the book. I didn't ask for any of this, just did a very good job there.
ReplyDeleteshortlly before I left he screamed out at me to get in his office and clean, but I was trying to avoid him. second shift can clean in there. speaking of which, one time when I was in there cleaning, he was making fun of the guy on second who has OCD. my ears perked up right away.
ReplyDeletemaybe he wanted you to talk about it, the way the guy on second shift may have. I told management, but I didn't talk to this guy about it. hard telling what would be better. maybe he thought you'd laugh about it. yeah, maybe. not sure why you took it all so hard. well, I was on the job.
ReplyDeleteand I really didn't want to tell anybody. I have before, but this time I didn't want to.
ReplyDeleteit would have gotten around, and then what?
ReplyDeleteif they did know anything, they were pissed that surveillance was there.
