Why do people say hi to students cheerfully but dull to me at work?
I feel like some people don’t like me too much. I mean I’m polite and greet them but they don’t get excited when they see me.
When I said hi to some of the staff, they ignored me and said hi to the students. I understand students need more attention than adults but a simple “hi” would be nice.
When the teacher (let’s call her Mrs G)came in, I said, “Good morning! Happy Friday.”
She just gave me a plain, “Hi”. The other assistant said, “Hello Mrs. G. How are you?” Mrs G said, “Hi. I’m doing well how about you?” In a more cheerful way.
I don’t understand why people don’t say hi or good morning to me. The kids show Mrs G their work and she cheerfully said, “Wow that’s great sweetie!” Or “Good job!”
The other assistant (let’s call her Ms Ari) gave me a dull “Hi” after I said good morning and happy Friday. She didn’t even look at me. I don’t think she’s fond of me. Is it because I’m an autistic employee or she is annoyed? She isn’t like that with the other coworkers and cheerful with the kids. I am polite and say good morning to the boss and some think I’m being a kiss ass and trying to get something out of them because I’m a “special needs” adult. It isn’t true. I’ve been working at this place for almost two months. I like it but some co workers don’t treat me like an equal.
I’m autistic too and I need love too. My sister told me to get a grip and I need to start acting like an adult. She said, “Girl get over yourself! You’re an ADULT. Not a child so you will get treated like an ADULT. I thought that’s what you wanted. Adults on the spectrum is just like any other adult and nobody is going to you like a 5 year old. Kids need more care and attention than we do. They’re lives are more precious that hours. For once, thinking about yourself and think about the children. You’re being selfish.”
