If I could just say Fuck 'Em.
When I was in high school, my brother Brian told me something really important. Basically, he said that if people treat you bad, "Fuck 'em". Just let them be assholes, and move on. Everybody's not gonna like you. So, if you're worried that people won't like you because of X? "Fuck 'em".
I wish I could say that now. I work in a place where everyone is all close-knit, and I feel like an outsider. I have a few friends, but when I come to work, I don't talk to anyone at all really. And I get the feeling that I'm disliked, perhaps because I don't talk to anyone.
In my past jobs, I've always been liked. Or, I've had enough confidence in the job that I was doing that I was able to tell anyone else to go to hell. But, in this job, when I'm still new and I don't really know what I'm doing, and where I feel extremely disconnected, I just wish I could tell them to go fuck themselves. Their conversations are stupid, their points-of-view are dimwitted, and they're extremely judgmental. So why do I want them to like me?
How do you get out of that high-school mentality, and tell them to just go fuck themselves?
