Dr. BF, on the other hand, is totally laid back about work. He's seems to happen upon the best projects. His job (which was only supposed to be a temporary thing and turned into a permanent position they custom made for him) is totally cool.

It's called personality, darling.

Because he's awesome he gets promotions and media attention and because I'm neurotic and anxious I get avoided?

I can see that. But it's not like my job is crap, I actually make more than him. Just that nothing will ever be enough for me.

EDIT: This is only in terms of work. In social settings this dynamic flips. He's the neurotic one and I'm the 'hey, it's chill' one.

Well this statement is kinda fascinating. Does this apply to all social situations or just with poeple outside each of your respective close circle of friends

We hung with Marina yesterday and it's always the awesome. Have yet to meet Dr. Boyfriend.
But I'm sure he is the awesome too.

I'm very different at work and in social settings. People at work think I'm very go, go, go and I'm very pointed and opinionated.

Socially I keep to myself and I'm pretty quiet and I don't generally tell people what I'm really thinking.

Interesting, isn't it?

Dillon is a cool guy, i love Jess and every job is good, but the "Real pros" on the show give me the creeps. Are those guys 30 yo and over men that are delivery boys, a job that usually young broke people do to get on their feet or the legal way to hide drug smuggling, and those guys brag about it like its a way of life?

Grow some shame, dude. You're an adult, you're supposed to act like one.

i guess the next step is realities about 50 year old McDonald clerks and people who answer at call centers at a pensioning age. So rock and roll.

For me it's all social situations, unless there's something weird going on. Dr. BF is chill with his friends, but he won't talk to anyone else. Like, for as long as I've been chilling with TDSC (around 3 years), he's never met any of them.

EDIT: Oh wait, he's met 2 of them. Aaron came to our birthday party, and he didn't talk to him and we've chilled with amham a couple of times, but he only came the first time because it was the middle of the night and I was going to meet a stranger.

It's the job of HR to see past shyness and introvertedness to find talent, so I don't think getting hired is such a huge issue. Where we get fucked is salary negotiations.

depends on the job. if youre interviewing for customer service or sales, they are not goin to hire you if youre shy. plus bein forthocming and confident is always better. if i was doin interview i wouldnt hire an introvert either, doesnt seem trustworthy, honestly.
