With no promotional prospects at work, I am flying the coockoo's nest. I've been with the same company for 8 years and due to my anti-social behaviour have no chance of ever being promoted,therefore my decision to move on. Its hard to see everyone else moving up and myself maintaining the same position for years - my line managers are becoming younger and younger. Some of my schoolfriends are directors, own there own businesses or in some kind of managerial position - when meeting old school friends, I am too ashamed to tell them I am merely a clerk after over 20 years of working.Its not that I do not have any ambition to achieve! If only I did not have SP, where could I have been careerwise or in life generally! But I have been dealt a hand and I will have to make do.
Anyone ever confided in their employers about their condition? What was the reaction? Going for job interviews, I am dying to be open about my SP (only when I secured the job of course), maybe that way the adjustment period at the new job will not be so very painful, at least there will be somekind of understanding from management I hope. Or is it just too risky and maybe I will not be offered a job at all? Why hire a problem kinda thing?
I certainly do not look forward to dealing with the new collegeaus. Their painful remarks about who they think you are is not something to look forward to.Being labelled a psycho is also not something I would like to hear to often.
Needless to say, I have been job hopping quiet a bit! Always thinking the next one might be better! People will treat you better! Such wishful thinking! I still have SP and still relate to people with great difficulty, how else can I be treated differently! To me, every employer that ever hired me (I am very greatful fo the opportunities afforded me) I new that they were hiring a problem for none of my relationships at work were ever easy. There was always a strain ,still is. Nobody could relate to me comfortably. But why stay, maybe I will be lucky and be giving the chance to proof myself! Wishful thinking again?
