Thanks :)

It’s like how broken people smile the hardest.

Even thinking about drawing that much attention to myself after a social faux pas is giving me a panic attack lol. Good on you for being shameless.

Yeah I don’t think it’s bullying or hazing or something like that. I’ve known these people for years, and while we don’t work closely together (we meet maybe four times a year) they’ve always been nice to me. Never shown animosity toward me.

I think when I asked my question the people who I’m most close to had either left already or were engaged in side conversations. The others either didn’t hear me both times or were just jerks in the moment.

One person from a different department actually did over hear me and offered to help. Which was nice.

That’s a good tip! Thanks!

Just throwing this out there, T-bone is a pretty cool nickname.

Like something up with them or me?

if someone else says it they get laughter or praise.

That I can live with because it affirms someone actually heard me.

Thank you. I’ve never known everyone experiences this.

@ you.

What’re you gonna do about it?
