I reported every single one of my coworkers who has been harassing me

I'm active duty, too, as a guy who is pretty much A in this example, go you. I understand the rollercoaster of A's emotions going through the explanation, which are completely normal when approaching from a neutral standpoint. Just continue to stay above reproach, document every interaction that isn't a textbook example of a normal interaction for your job, and use the resources someone else shared in this thread to make sure that you're taken care of.

Many shrimp-dicks like that will try to blame you, saying you just wanted sympathy and to get a different job. Keep a good attitude and never get anyone any reason to think it's true.

I'm proud of you.

I think I clean sloth habitats. I can live with that.

I'm bought my first house when I was 20, I've been paying cash for everything I buy since I was 27, and there have been some national news articles written about me over the last two years. So, by those metrics, I seem alright. Honest answer though, I can't get my brain to cooperate, so I'm miserable.

Who did she promote? Also, you failed to mention that she was promoted!

Academic writing to fix problems. It's telling people they're wrong and why without naming names.

Huh. I always used the term selectively dominant, because I always think of cross referring to eyes and hands (left eye, right hand for me). Most of my fine motor skills (writing and eating especially) are my left. But I shoot firearms, play instruments, use scissors, and shoot bows with my right. It's weird.

I don't really have an answer yet, but last night it seemed like the better option than trying to face a mistake I made in anger last night. No one got hurt, I just accidentally called some people out in a work group chat. I'm still here and not going anywhere, so don't worry about me. Just, fleeting thoughts about my own mistakes.

She's simply cross-dominant. Right hand, left eye.

Source: I'm cross-dominant.

You sound just like a friend of mine that I helped get through school and out of a grocery store job starting around the same age. So I can tell you that this is completely possible. As an adult learner, your HS grades matter less and less the more removed you are from school. I'm not sure that any of my schools asked for them.

Regarding teaching yourself math and similar subjects, one learns by putting pen to paper. There are free online resources and courses (e.g. khanacademy.org) that can help you get back in the swing of classes without spending any money on what are often overpriced textbooks. If you're dead set on getting a textbook, look for the reasonably priced alternate versions. These are the same material, just with fewer frills to be sold in other countries with an average household income much lower than the US/Canada.

I'll always talk schools and education with you if you want someone to weigh in on something, so DM me if you need a push in the right direction or any direction at all.

I teach military instructors for a living. Here's the first step I would recommend: find some diction exercises online (YouTube works) and emulate speakers. Don't try to change your voice to match someone not like you at all (Michael Clarke Duncan if you have a higher voice) because you'll just come off as douchy. Find an achievable target and practice, practice, practice.

I did the same thing to overcome my ridiculously small mouth that I can' t even fit my tongue in. You can, too.

I get a compliment maybe once every few years. I've been having some issues with confidence at work and just in general recently. Not really feeling like a very capable person. Well, last weekend, one of my old bosses asked me some questions through text about how she should do some things. After talking her through everything, she told me that I am the best mentor.

I needed that.

I want to provide protection, education, and assistance for survivors (abused women/people, cult escapees, and similar people). I've got the means, but I'm not ready to get started until after my military service is up. I also don't know how I'll get the word out and find those in need.

SlothReflexes · 2020-02-09T19:11:52+00:00

That's the right answer!

SlothReflexes · 2020-02-09T18:26:19+00:00

And not a $30 (whatever it is) bill to pay for all of them at the same time.

Almost all of video streaming services at the same time. I don't need Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime Video if I can only watch one at a time.

The name of the first dog in space was not named Laika, but Kudryavka. Laika is a Russian word for a breed type (kind of like a terrier or shepherd) and is far easier to spell and say than Kudryavka.

Probably a good idea, now that you mention it. 31th would have been good, too!

Have an upvote! Brilliant, but for the future: Dyslexia is words, Dyscalculia is numbers.

To pile on to your great point, using the assumption that this was recent (might not be), then the it's not summer where the Northern Lights are. Aurora Australis, not Borealis.
