This is fucking brutal, I'm sorry you had to go through thisIn high school, as I was the only student with a suicide attempt on record, after Columbine, our school began a zero-tolerance policy towards anyone who could potentially enact a school shooting. Instead of going after, y'know actual troublemakers, they went after me, because being bullied/depressed/on meds = school shooter of course.
I had to sit away from other children in classes, had to have a security guard escort me around the building and during lunch, was banned from all sports and clubs, and had to wait in detention until my mom was able to pick me up at 4:00.
I've got others too. Like the time I was forced to walk naked around my school as someone stole my clothes (both regular and gym) out of my gym locker. Got a week's detention for that too, with the reasoning being "You should have thought ahead and bought a lock".
What does that even mean? You were a practice interview?I was invited to a job interview for a new game company. Went out to lunch with the crew, but they said it was just a "shit test". There was no intention to hire me at all. They did this to several women.
While masturbating, an old lady saw me doing that from her window. my soul died that day.
Told her she needed to pay if she wanted to keep watching. Then, i closed the window.
wow, that's insane! did the cops see you get attacked? i don't know what i'd do if that happened to me
I had a co-worker who was stereotypically lesbian: short hair, deep voice, dressed in masculine clothes, etc. And she always referred to her s/o as her "partner". So when she was talking about what her partner made for dinner last night and how good it was, I thought to myself, "this will be the perfect time for me to show how progressive I am and how non-heteronormative I can be" and so I say, "Does she like to cook?"
She looks at me for a second and then, very pointedly, says, "He."
I wanted to die.
Welcome to having ADHD anxiety and depression and people thinking you are lazy, rude, dangerous, and untrustworthy. So people act like you are a dangerous person with lousy character.
I'd be humiliated if people walked in on me watching anime, tooI forgot to lock my bedroom door and got walked in on by a roommate back in college.
Not as humiliating for me, as it was for my girlfriend at the time.
Her mother, who we thought was still out of the house, decided on opening the bedroom door at the exact time her daughter was yelling at me to put more penis in her arse.
I still feel really bad for her mum having to witness that. Doesn't help that we were still in school too.
Sorry, Jean.
Holy shit rofl.In high school I was at the McDs that everyone went to for lunch. Lineups are usually huge and basically the whole school would show up. I went with my brother one day. When I was leaning over the counter to look at the menu when taking my order he pantsed me and pulled down my jeans and boxers. I reacted super quick to pull them up and when I bent down I smashed my chin off the counter and knocked myself out cold. Fell on my back with my dick and balls flopping all over the place. Came to struggling to get up and kept falling over with my pants down with the whole place erupting with laughter. I left. Jokes were made about my peepee. It was cold ok?
LMAO!There are 2 situations as a kid when I was confused about the gender of other kids because they were boys with long hair and when I referred to them with female pronouns I remember being laughed at and feeling really embarrassed.
Oh this one time in high school I had heard of the term "pimp juice" but didn't know what it was so while my religion class was going over the section on baptism I remarked to someone that I wanted to be baptized in pimp juice. From what I understand I was saying I wanted to be baptized in semen?
I don't even exactly know myself. From what I talked about with the other two women, it was just like inviting female artists to chill, and using an interview as an excuse. It was very uncomfortable.
I was invited to a job interview for a new game company. Went out to lunch with the crew, but they said it was just a "shit test". There was no intention to hire me at all. They did this to several women.
I had just started living in Montreal and didn't speak any French (still don't really, but I've moved to Ontario). I got a job at a shitty warehouse in St Laurent packaging tupperware. None of the employees or managers really spoke enough English to be understood - even though the job and the province are technically supposed to be bilingual - and I was already having anxiety through the roof starting a new job and being in such unfamiliar situations.
Firstly an important looking person came up to me and started blabbing on in French. I did my best French version of "I don't speak French" - je ne parlais pas Francais, or whatever - and he just stared at me with this weird look of shock and disgust for five seconds before leaving.
Then another manager came up to me, asked me to get up and follow him, his English was suuuuuper broken and I could barely understand him, had to say "what" every like three seconds or so, didn't help that all the machinery caused extra white noise to make hearing even more difficult. He brought me over to this machine, which was connected to most of the bigger conveyor belts and stuff going through the warehouse.
He pointed at a big red button on the side of the machine and started saying something about it in three-quarters French, one quarter unintelligible English. He kept gesturing at it like it was important.
So in my brain I am thinking, in between panic and hating the job, "Oh, big red buttons are usually an emergency stop. I guess he's telling me to not press it unless it's an emergency. Wait, that's Captain Obvious speaking, everybody knows that. Why would he be telling me something so mind-numbingly evident to anyone with a brain cell? Oh god, he's still talking, and he's getting mad that I look so confused, I better say or do something to show that I understand." My mind is racing in a million directions, all the awkwardness and out-of-place feeling of the shift having built up to a fever pitch. "Wait, why would he be gesturing madly at this button just to tell me NOT to press it. He must want to give me a demonstration??? I better do what I think he's telling me to do, I need to act, I NEED to show that I can handle this job!"
I reach over and push the big red button.
The warehouse gets much quieter as I hear tons of machinery shutting down.
He becomes super freaked out and starts raving at me. Another employee who speaks better English comes over and helpfully informs me that I've shut down production in the entire facility for at least half an hour.
At least a dozen people are staring at me, many looking up from their posts, wondering what the hell is going on.
At the end of the shift, when I went in to ask said manager about my schedule, he just says "DON'T COME BACK."
Then I have to explain all this to people at the bus stop in the rain who all witnessed the ordeal, followed by a two hour commute back home.
Tl;dr: Don't be nervous ever or you might fuck up majorly, which will make you even more nervous in the future.
Also don't live in Montreal unless you're French. Don't believe what people say about it being easy to get by as an anglophone.

At this point, its about 5% reason (with most being the typical fear of being rejected again).Let this go and work through this my guy. No need to keep yourself from growing and experiencing intimacy because of this.
Funny answer: when I forgot my swimming pants to locker room and walked nude to swimming class.
Grim answer: I guess one of the many times I was bullied. One time a group of guys two classes above me caught in recess and banged my head in the static metallic coat hangers until I bled. Seeing your friends cowering in fear unable to help was something.
