    If it takes that much explanation, guarantee most people “don’t get where you’re coming from.”

      Yeah I kind of went on a tangent and, I know I can tend to be a little… I tried to start editing it cuz I noticed it didn’t work well with text-to-speech but basically the gist of it is. I was the only dude that worked around five chicks and all five of these chicks would give me a ton of shit. And I was always pretty damn respectful. But every once in awhile I’d get a hair up my ass and I feel I had the right to say something back. So I guess the short story is I called the tall girl that I was close with and cool with on Amazon. And it’s just funny she took it personal. I mean the worst part of that I guess is being tall which I still don’t comprehend because tall girls are cool. Anyway, whatever. Like I said I’m digging my own grave deeper here so I should have realized I’m on lemmy or something I tried to quit while I was ahead. But these women I work with probably should have all been fired for the comments they made to me. So mild in comparison was perspective on the matter. But anytime anybody asked me how I was doing with all ‘harassment’, I would defend them as family so. I just figured a little context would help. It’s not just like I showed up my first day and a job and started talking about tall girls and calling them. Amazons, this had been a thing between all of us giving each other gentle ribbings and daily grief that wasn’t necessarily malicious. Just like how you give your buddies in high school. Some shit you know. Anyway, like I said I hope everyone has a great day. Sorry for the tangent here in the OP post was pretty cool. Is that doorway short or are they just that tall? That would suck to have to be ducking through doorways all the time.

        Found an insecurity. Probably should leave it alone in the future, unless you’re close enough for her to actually open up and let you help her work through it (very rare, not just among “work sisters” but even close platonic friends, in my travels.)

          Shit. I accidentally deleted another wall of text. I guess the gist of it was. Maybe I have a hard time realizing that I was poking an insecurity that was bigger than I realized and assumed that as much grief is she would give me a. It was pretty light-hearted but. You’ve given me something to think about in the future. No longer at that job but I know I have noticed I have a hard time sometimes picking up on people’s. I don’t know what to say emotions, or something? I thought I was good at it but maybe it’s not picking up on them but interpreting them. Anyway, thank you for giving me some food for thought that I might have just been being a little more of a bully and less of a buddy at that point in time. It was never really my intention. I usually have a hard time coming out of my shell and then they finally got me out of my shell and I probably embarrassed myself and irritated people so many times after that because I know I have trouble with communication.

            Unpopular opinion at the moment, but Russel Brand and other celebrities may actually, genuinely, be unaware of how they might be pressuring their partners of the moment into doing things they are uncomfortable with - hard to know when that crosses the line into inappropriate, maybe impossible.
