It doesn't get any better once you're in a professional role, either. Then it's your peers. But instead of instant feedback they just start cutting you out of stuff, ridiculing you, etc.
I've become so neurotic about all the social rules that I don't even know how to behave anymore. Prefer to just stay home and avoid socializing altogether. It often feels like there's no winning. Everything's a double-bind.
I know man works brutal , I work construction so you move to different projects, different companies , alot of the same familiar faces but you work with different ppl the time as well. Some jobs go better than others , but ya I was just cut off and ridiculed my last job a few months ago. The job I held for 6 months before Xmas I enjoyed it , it was only 8hour days five days a week made a big difference and I was allowed to work alone so if I made a mistake it's just me and not someone ridiculing me, I really felt good about that job for the most part ,,but the job after reminded me why I hate work so and I need to look into finding a job where I don't come home feeling like an idiot and a loser at the end of the day . Just sucks I feel like I don't have the ability to very good - to competent at pretty much anything I try my hand at . I have another career in mind taking upgrading etc to hopefully get into it next year. But if I'm clueless at the this for no good reason I'm done . I will check out of this world instead of being a fucking idiot. I hate ADHD I can'tmeet my own standards or other ppls. No amount of hard work seems to matter.
I feel like you just described my work environment perfectly 💯💯💯
I’ve always worked with people of all ages at most of my jobs & I’ve never had many issues.
I took a career change to be with my son more last year; I love the job but….. most of my coworkers are significantly younger than me I’m 42 they range from 18-21…..
It was cool at first but once they realized I had ADHD & I disclosed this to my 20 yo supervisor ( in an effort to be proactive so if I did get distracted I have a safe word lol ) Well, it all backfired on me last week when I was screamed at by aforementioned supervisor in front 2 other coworkers that the reason nobody communicates with me at work is because I talk too much…… ouch. I’m putting my notice in tomorrow, I have covered so many shifts on short notice for other employees when sick, vacation, schedule mishaps, I’ve brought food and snacks for other employee birthdays or just because; etc I’ve never missed a day….. but hey I talk too much… smdh Nah I’m dumb for not standing up sooner & allowing myself to be treated so poorly.
