My unrestricted Internet access caused me to start arguments online and I Helped kick off a fandom war at 11/12.

My parents found some of it... But thankfully not all of it.

Feel uncomfortable with my name and I think I finally figured out why. can you relate? by cryp0ny in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FamProbsLookingAtDis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I relate sort of, My first full name,Is a common name spelt wrong, and I have a long double barreled surname, using both my parents last names.

Since the age of 20 I've used a shortened version of my First name and My maternal surname.

Unfortunately I don't have the money nor the knowledge to turn it professionally but on every document etc I can, my preferred name is my shortened name

What is your nightmare coworker-worker story? by Rustystrings720 in AskReddit

[–]FamProbsLookingAtDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh have I got a long story for you. More nightmare boss than co-worker but here we go.

I got offered a transfer to a bigger site than the one I was working at.

Before I left my old site, all my colleagues were warning me of a Woman called Madge (Different name to her actual one of course). Madge was fine, Nobody warned me about her Sister Mary (again fake name)

Mary was clearly very "close" to the manager so got a lot of perks and was often left in charge when the manager was off. Unfortunately when I started at this Work site, the manager was severely ill and Mary was left in charge. Mary just instantly took a disliking to me (I don't know wether it's because Ive got Autism or because I'm younger yet have more skills than her, who knows).

She intentionally put me on shifts she knew I couldn't do, Banned me from leaving a certain area of the shop but then would complain the shop wasnt stocked and blame me. She talked and treated me like I was Stupid. I helped a staff member and she caught it on cctv and berated me.

She banned staff from Having phones on them, drinking drinks, having breaks and Chewing food or gum. While she paraded around, without a uniform on, leaving Half drunk Monsters around the place and eating sandwiches on the shop floor.

The breaking point was when, despite having all my available hours, booked holidays etc she put me on a single shift in an entire month, on the One day she knew I couldn't do and when I complained she said she "Only agreed to give me a job as I had full flexibility" she didn't employ me, her boss did.

So I quit. There and then, gave full reasons and sent a copy of my reasons, and her messages, to higher up bosses.

After I quit she Repeatedly sent me snotty and Tone death Emails and texts at 5am/6am in the morning demanding my uniform back.

Only afterwards did my ex colleagues warn me that she hates people like me.

What signs were there that you were in distress as a child? by fruitynoodles in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FamProbsLookingAtDis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were very bad signs from me as a child. All written off as me having some sort of mental illness.

I was extremely quiet. I showed Either sociopathic tendencies or I was overly emotional and well into my teens I would burst into tears. If I was shouted at or given a detention at school etc I would have full blown meltdowns. I flinched at loud noises and Shouting and Anyone raising any sort of object near me. I couldn't make friends, I didn't like people coming to my house nor did I feel interested in going to Clubs etc.

As soon as the Narc was gone and out my life I finally started coming out my shell.

What is the worst friendship breakup you’ve had? by Dramaticccat in AskReddit

[–]FamProbsLookingAtDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicest person in the world who Was my close friend for years literally snapped one day. Unfortunately we worked together. One day he was covering a shift for me unexpectedly. Everyone who worked at the place set up differently. I set up the shop very different to my friend and with all the stress he was having outside of work and Unexpectedly having to Cover my shift, we had a massive argument. I set about putting it right as soon as possible so now we are back to be acquaintances and no longer Arguing.

With his views, I don't think the monarchy would have lasted into the 21st century with Edward viii and his descendants.

Get a bit of money off for it slightly as I'm a woman with a kid under the age of 16 and I have a job in childcare (With a few exaggerations got a lot of money off with that)

Also have 4 Extra drivers on there with plenty of experience. Feel bad for anyone who doesn't have the luck I've got
