The person I was working with well knew and repeatedly mentioned the fact that I don't want to work with lots of people (and there's lots more to it than that), but still the only approach he had for finding something I could do was this approach. I can't connect with people because I have never had much in common with them. I'm over 50, and I have tried. I have a lot of experience, none of it pleasant. Sure there are a few nice people out there and I have been successful in various ways, but the cost to me in terms of having to deal with people has made life not worthwhile over all. So the guy refers me to the counselling department and asks me if I have thoughts of self-harm. Frustrating.
