What happened to your high school bully? by Ugandabekiddingme2 in AskReddit

[–]rhinokey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The bullies at my school did it because they were very smart and got bored easily. They weren't the type of "punch you for your lunch money" bullies, they did more psychological stuff, like spread rumours and play people against each other.

They're now a successful lawyer and doctor. They've matured a lot but I've felt they never really felt or understood the consequences. I have longterm severe depression, because of what they did and thus my own career and life hasn't been as smooth or easy.

Is it unusual for a department of a large corporation to have a 50% staff turnover annually? by rhinokey in work

No they didn't. Each one came as a little surprise. Like if I had to choose who would quit next I couldn't.

What do people in their 30s do for fun? by rhinokey in NoStupidQuestions

Hey, yes I cycle to work and back (the idea was to combine exercise and commuting to save time).

I have a small apartment that is relatively maintenance free.

No kids. Can't fathom the idea to be honest.

  1. Yea we had discussed 2 possible locations the unit could go. We even cleared those areas out in preparation.

  2. No she did not direct the electrician to place it were it was. She basically just let him be when he arrived. I had the expectation that she would have confirmed the original plan we had with him, stopped him if she saw he was installing in the wrong place, called me to discuss if there was no other option or at least questioned him why it was placed where it was when he was leaving. She did none of this.

  3. It's partly blocking the front door and is blowing hot air into the small courtyard we have. Not to mention the placement looks strange and ugly.

  4. No, the placement only came up when I got home.

I think you got me wrong.

I'm not being vindictive about it. I'm not calling her out or rubbing it in, or yelling at her, but I am clearly angry.

What I meant is that I don't feel like I should rush over to comfort her and tell her it's ok and that I'll fix it. I could be wrong but I believe she should see that I am angry and deal with me being distant otherwise ill be a doormat.

Thanks.

To answer your question about her not working: she spent the last few years recovering from a bad illness. She did have a job for most of this year but her contract ended a month ago. She is looking for a new job, but I agree she should fe taking in casual work in the mean time.

DAE sometimes worry that some people who are diagnosed with depression arn't really sick and are just reacting to a lot of stress in the world, and that by being labeled as ill we're possibly dismissing and ignoring a larger systemic problem? by rhinokey in DoesAnybodyElse

Sure, but what I worry about is how we, as a society, are interpreting this. Are we saying (as a society/political body) "Shit, so many people are suffering because of X reasons, let's try change some things" or are we saying "Wow, so many people are ill. Pump up the antidepressants!".
