My supervisor said some had made this complaint, and that he would direct me to stop and would write a report for my personnel file. I cried quite a bit yesterday and called my parents to commisserate (I'm still in my 20's). But then today I kind of got "T-O-ed." I'm thinking about telling my supervisor something like the following, what do you think?
There are times when I am with men and I don't quite know where to look either. No doubt if you did a survey of the male members of the office, they too would be able to describe shy or awkward behavior on my part in interactions with them.
I do not understand why this is a personnel or disciplinary matter. So some people get wierded out when they are around me some of the time. Such are the petty conflicts that we deal with in life. Why don't you ask them to get used to it?
I will likely be idiosyncratically odd the rest of my life and cannot turn it off like a switch. If you cannot accommodate this, then I'm not sure this is the kind of place I desire to be.
