Are you a likeable person?

I am not. I kinda understand, I know I'm different. I really don't care except it always bites me at work. I don't understand why. I am on time, don't call out, do my job efficiently and I'm a team player. Nobody ever tells me what I'm doing wrong, I just feel retaliated against. My bosses will suddenly treat me like I have the plague. My hours get cut. It's an overall feeling of not belonging. Bordering on rudeness directed at me. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. But I guess I have to find a different job now.

I can be standoffish which I know doesn't come across well to others. The friends I have know this about me and took the time to let me feel safe to be me around them. To most folks I am unlikable. I have the same issue at work. I think it's because I am an introvert and I don't really socialize with my coworkers and I can't really fake it very well. I do my work, I try to be polite, but I am treated like I am not wanted when I am there. There are times not even one person will acknowledge me the whole day

@SlippingAway I relate to this 100%

We all have our own personality because of the life we've been through. I can work with all kinds of people, even if we have nothing in common except we work at the same place. It's not something I even put much thought into, I just accept this person is anxious or this person is loud or this person is extroverted, we're all people.

But yeah I'm okay with being dark and quiet. I like who I am despite what others think. But they're cutting my hours and skipping my breaks and acting like I've done something wrong. I just don't have patience for it when I know I'm doing the right thing.

@ScreamingFox yes that's BS cutting your hours like that and not giving you a reason. I am fortunate that I have a set schedule that doesn't change, if I did I am sure my boss would do that to me.
