I'm THX 1138 this conversation. It's over budget on my time.

This is what I wrote to hello_my_lover about why a boss and a client would think giggling was unprofessional...

I have the paranoia streak! I compare telling my family things about myself like giving them a loaded gun and waiting for them to shoot me with.

Thank you. You are being very helpful. ^_^

Thank you! Big hugs to you too! I'm sorry that you are dealing with this as well. Family and friends can be delightful but SO frustrating. My family doesn't believe in mental illness, so there's always the eye roll followed by the accusation that I am attention seeking (I am writing about this on the internet, so…

/blush My family writes it on the calendar when I am wrong... or viciously teases me if I say anything wrong. So ya, I understand the end of the world mistake. It sucks.

Thanks for responding! Those are all good things to consider and admittedly, I am terrible when it comes to talking about my feelings. The part where you asked me if I felt listened to and alone resonates. I've worked with a psychotherapist since August, he's good and got me through a lot of things but...I noticed…

I have a friend that washed once a week. I couldn't do it, but she had amazing hair. I can occasionally skip a day or too. I find the less you touch it, the better. But I prefer daily washing, even though there is less frizz with less washing. Sometimes just switching shampoo/conditioner combinations during the week…

Perfectionism is horrible. It wasn't until I read somewhere that's it's self destructive that I really started to think about how it stops me from doing anything. Sometimes I can't even check this site because I'm terrified of what people will say to me. Lately, I finding just confronting that fear right away…

That's tough. I've been there and have totally walked out of events because I couldn't talk to anyone. Public exercise is the worst for me. Sometimes I can't say "Don't think about, don't think about." and I'll make my way there. Other times, I can't. I'm trying not to beat myself up over these times when the anxiety…

Anyone have any experience with PTSD and psychiatric teams? I'm curious what to expect. My family doctor is referring me one of these teams to see if I have PTSD. She thinks I do, you apparently aren't suppose to start sobbing uncontrollably when you get positive notes from your surgeon and start to tremble with fear…

Even on top model there were people that looked amazing but took bad photos. Sometimes its the angle (low is typically horrible for most people), the lighting (that can flatten your features, or highlight things that other light hides, it can also make your skin look a totally different colour even greenish at times.)…

I'm not sure what we are debating or why we are. I can understand the boss for not liking unprofessional behavior, the giggling, and I can also not approve of firing all the women and replacing them with men.

For work? Or enjoying the nomad life for a while?

"Why are you planning on giving me head? I've been tested. It's all good"

Also, doing stuff before you get locked into the anxiety debate (Should I? Shouldn't I? What should I say????) helps.

When I was in art school I made it a performance project. I set a up series of rules (kinda like a game). I had to leave the dorm room every day, I had to strike up causal conversation, I went on a blind date, I screamed in public, etc. Oddly making it a game with clear goals and the excuse I was doing this for 'art'…

I believe said twice now that I didn't think what the boss did in the story was right. I didn't say that men are less giggly. In my humble experience there are unprofessional assholes in both genders/sexes. I tried to show why giggling at a client is inappropriate no matter who does the giggling.

I realize that and don't agree with what your boss did; I was trying to give another side what's it like to be on the other side of giggling.
