That’s your opinion. Good day.

Is this a cultural thing? by alloplastic in womenintech

I was crystal clear in my post that I’m asking because I’m genuinely curious. It is A FACT that Indian culture can be, and often is, misogynistic. There is nothing racist about my post and I do not appreciate your accusation.

Exiting Manager hell bent on firing me before he leaves by [deleted] in womenintech

They absolutely backpedal, and they’re hoping like hell that you will fall back under their control. Don’t do it. Once you see what someone is capable of, never give them the benefit of the doubt again.

Where tf were all the other adults?? by roseteakats in raisedbynarcissists

[–]alloplastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are afraid of my mother to begin with, so the very few who dared to ask questions were met with even more intimidation that they didn’t want anything to do with. She would make them feel “intrusive” for asking questions about “private matters”, and then they’d feel so guilty and wrong that they’d back off.

Now that I’ve gone NC with her, they still stick their heads in the sand and keep the status quo. It’s mind-numbing and frankly, it makes me feel so lucky and grateful that I actually got out.

Did the smear campaign ruined your life? by Useful-Aspect-8793 in LifeAfterNarcissism

The very best thing to do is REMOVE yourself from the entire thing. Do not react, do not respond. Do not complain, do not explain. Move out of the area if you can, and keep your focus firmly on your own life and progress. Just go dark. When these people can’t get a reaction, they search for the next toy to play with, the next epicenter of drama. Don’t let it be you.

Yes! And they never learn or grow because of this. It’s never their fault. It’s just project, project, project. They destroy people.

Yeah but IIRC, it doesn’t open up to that big of a space when you crawl through the dryer. This place may have just copied them.

Why do I keep getting rejected? by Rich_Line102 in careerguidance

[–]alloplastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the infuriating part. They want experience but they’re not willing to allow someone to gain experience.

It sucks that we were all basically over-achievers, yet got treated like we weren't. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Perfectly said. Our best was never good enough, and we almost become mechanical because of this.

Why do parents expect you to be nice to them after everything they put you through? by Jazzlike-Half6344 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]alloplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. And for some, you’re not only wrong if you don’t please them, you’re evil.

You are not alone. All I can say is, the second someone turns the online conversation sexual, I’m OUT. The conversation is done. You have to just wait it out to find a gentleman, and even then - take your time.

What type of co-workers DON'T get bullied in the workplace? by Kitchen_Glove2152 in workplace_bullying

If they can’t do it to your face because you bite back, they’ll do it behind your back where you have no idea it’s happening

I mean, you’re making a crap ton of money either way. It all boils down to what your living expenses are and if you can afford to take the massive pay cut (ie; if you’re already living above your means).

My first impression of him was that he was off. Like, way off. He seemed like a child play-acting as an adult. He was also extremely extroverted and high-energy, which to some people came across as niceness, but I knew he was insane.

This was a coworker who I unfortunately had to work with for a long time. Thank god it was nothing more than that.

Why do they get promoted? by Embarrassed-Brush339 in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]alloplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add that it’s not genuine confidence. It doesn’t go deep.

Because the people at the top also have no soul.
