A 67 year old lady at my job keeps calling the binder we share a tablet and every time she asks for it, I'm like, "what tablet?". Yesterday I told her it's a binder and she said it was called a tablet before my time. But all my grandparents are around the same age and they all call them binders. Was it a regional thing maybe? We're in the US by the way.

Yeah, see a doctor. There might be medicine to mitigate the symptoms.

[-] AyuTsukasa@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

Yeah I get it I actually have social anxiety that's why I've been so patient with him. I fully understand his reaction it's just that I'm not close enough with him nor am I a therapist able to work through it with him.

Fair point I am probably overthinking it.

So the issue is it's like a loop you be nice and ignore him he thinks he's cool.

You be mean and tell him he's annoying he paints you as the asshole.

You be nice and tell him he's being annoying he throws a pity party and makes you feel guilty for saying anything.

So this dude is basically a 46 year old man child and I don't wanna armchair diagnose people, but he's probably on the spectrum.

He'll say a pun or a "funny" phrase, stare at you till you acknowledge it, then when you do, he'll just keep saying it over and over. Even if you don't acknowledge it he'll say it a bunch then switch to a new one.

He's obsessed with making fart noises then pretending it's someone else he'll even do it while we're eating lunch. I've tried the politely asking him to stop he just says "oh you know I'm just joking" then when I tell him its genuinely annoying he goes full kicked puppy and acts super sad for a few hours and gets all woe is me saying stuff like "oh well I guess everyone hates me I'll just shut up forever". Sometimes he even goes full non verbal and literally just tries to communicate by pointing and or writing notes.

It's not like he's an asshole he a genuinely good guy he's good at his job and he's got your back when you need it.

I guess I just have a hard time finding the balance between not being an ass to a guy with zero social skills and losing my sanity because he can't be quiet for 5 minutes.

I can't post images when I try it says uploading error. I assumed it was a permission think but there's no permissions to enable other than notifications. I don't know what else it could be my internet works fine.
