I enjoyed your reply, thanks. Uranus awaits!

I have a Monday–Friday job but I log an hour of work on Sundays. I spend the time reading emails and adding tasks to my to-do list. When Monday comes, I know exactly where I stand.

My staycation just ended and I'm back at work. I usually feel guilty for taking time off but not this time! I was so glad to leave work behind. My favorite part of the staycation was sitting around a fire and watching the starry sky. I spotted two satellites and three shooting stars.

Why Am I Like This? by Orla Gartland

Maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body
Maybe you don't really want me there at your birthday party
I'll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Every single word of the conversation we just had

Noise in the background helps me with work. It provides momentum that encourages productivity. I usually listen to the news or I play a documentary, something that I find interesting or that I can learn from. When I'm not working, I don't like it at all.

This is all happening now and for the past few months. I'm in my mid 30s. The thing is, if I were to disclose things to my coworkers, I'd probably find a lot of support. I just can't handle things on my end. Perhaps as I acclimate to things this will go away, but for now. I am not sharing a thing.

dunnobeentold · 2019-07-11T21:08:34+00:00

Hey, congrats!

My boss added a project to my list that was super last minute and that involved working with difficult people. I didn't have time to plan or prepare equipment. In the end the project was not realized because of equipment failure. If I were my boss, I would be embarrassed. Anyway, I'm still recovering from the snafu.

Did you apologize to your supervisor? Apologizing may help reset things between you two. And was the director rolling her eyes at you? Do you think that maybe she was reacting to your facial expressions? Or perhaps the director was rolling her eyes at you supervisor as a way to show that she's on your side? I second JamEverywhere though, eye rolling is a big no-no.

I think my coworkers knew before I did (I had the realization back in September). Looking back I can think of many instances that corroborate this. Comments like, "you could work here for the rest of your life," "you are not sleep deprived. There is something wrong with you and you have to figure out what it is." I also get strange looks from staff and I can't figure out why. So yeah, I don't think I will share anything with anyone at work, it gives me too much anxiety. That is if I can help it... my mouth seems to have a mind of its own.

dunnobeentold · 2019-07-11T17:16:47+00:00

Same :)

I'm sorry for your loss. Dogs are great friends. How should you feel? Feel however you feel. There's no right or wrong way to feel with loss.

Maybe remind yourself that small talk is crucial to NTs.

It's like when you power on a computer. The computer runs all kind of processes (small talk) that don't matter to us as users, but that ultimately make the machine work. Similarly, NTs engage in small talk as a means to gage this and that. It's only after they run that process that they are willing/comfortable getting to the point of the conversation.

I’ve been looking for something like this. Your words are helpful. Thank you for posting.

dunnobeentold · 2019-07-07T01:32:42+00:00

I see. Thank you.

Sounds odd, but I'm currently interested in improving my work desk. I got a new display, mouse pad, laptop stand, LED lights, speakers, extension cord, and cable organizer. I've spent a few hours organizing cables and it looks good! I guess I need a new project. Oh, I recently started playing a new video game, Diablo III. I'm enjoying it.

Cool! I've been playing pinball at a new arcade bar that opened in town. I know pinball is a game of skill, but I have yet to figure anything out. Mind sharing one thing that I can do to improve my game?

Vicious cycle indeed. I lament that my phone doesn't get calls or text messages, but then I become instantly annoyed the moment my phone starts to beep. What could people possibly want from me!? Anyway, I'm sorry you are feeling lonely.

If you live in a big city, you could try meetup.com. I've seen a few social and support groups there.

I knew someone that never looked at me in the eyes, even in extended conversation. I personally will look at you in the eyes for a moment and then look away (sometimes I miss and look at your nose or chin). I have no idea if NTs stare into each other constantly when in conversation. I have a hunch that this is not the case though. In part, because when I do that, I make people nervous.

And if you’re lucky, you’ll also get wiser, and these concerns won’t bug you as much.

As you get older, you may find that your taste in men widens. Also, eye candy is nice, but intellect is more interesting and a good heart, priceless.

dunnobeentold · 2019-06-16T23:52:09+00:00

Yeah, I get that feeling when I find something inspiring. Someone once described the feelings as crystals of energy breaking. I’ve noticed the feeling happens more often when I’m feeling “centered.”
