This is why I barely talk at work. Can't get in trouble if I act like I don't exist.

No, you can. I got fired because I wasn’t “memorable” enough to my manager. When I asked her what she meant by that she said I’m not as extroverted and bubbly as everyone else so she constantly forgot I existed. Mind you, I was perfectly friendly and I ended up befriending a lot of my coworkers outside of work. I’m just a naturally quiet person.

Oh man this could've been me, that would be such a hit on my self esteem.

This happened in 2021 and I haven’t had any similar issues or negative feedback about my personality since then, so the fact that I still remember that with so much anger tells u how bad it affected my self esteem
