Have you considered filing for disability for your condition? Maybe working from home?

I think you will regret all this as you get older. You're not going to have any friends and no one will want anything to do with you. What has happened in the past is water under the bridge. The future is now going forward. No need to treat other people that way just like you may not have liked the treatment you received when you were younger. When your old and sitting on that rocking chair you'll have plenty of time to be left alone. For now live your life and be kind to people. Diplomacy is a great thing and you won't age so fast. Good Luck!

Be careful what you wish for! He doesn't have a full time job (and no wonder), he was pretty excited about maybe coming home with $50 at the end of a bartending shift and the next money-making op he's planning is renting out part of his living space to "escorts" to bring their "clients" to. Lovely.

The last real long term job that I had I was so anti social. It was like school, except this time I was cool. In school I was a geek that was picked on, but I grew up and became tough. In this situation the people were geeks and I was too cool for them. I enjoyed eating my lunch in the corner and then blitzing out of the lunch room with a clenched fist and a scowl on my face. There were 3 people I talked to in different departments. We would wave to each other and then sometimes stop by at each other's desk. People would just stare and wonder why these three people do not talk to anyone else. Then one day I told my crew that I was quitting. I was warned, but after drinking 5 Pabst I called my boss's vm and said I was done and to clean out my desk. It was so liberating at the time.
Yay You?

He didn't 'get away' with anything. He walked out on his job, got drunk and made stupid phone calls. Anyone with half a brain and a six pack of bad beer can 'get away' with something like that.

I get along well with others on the job, and I sure as hell don't socialize with them after work. I'm considered a "nice person", team player, etc., and occasionally give small gifts to coworkers who helped me along the way. Occasionally I'll buy coffee for folks. You never know who may need a little "nudge" in the a.m.

It's unnecessary for me to socialize after work. Work is work, and after work is ... after work. They'll never see me "let my hair down" after hours. No, sir!

I searched out all the people I come in contact with at work on Facebook and blocked them all.
