[QUOTE=overground55;3867536]

don't know whether I have the wrong attitude about the situation or not.

lets just say you can choose to have a different attitude. The answers are here in your post.

I grew up somewhat sheltered I suppose, didn't have very many friends, and I consider myself sensitive and shy, and I just want to do my job quietly without having to deal with all the drama that seems to come with this line of work, I guess you'd say I'd like personal space.

That ship has sailed! Welcome to the real world!

There is one woman in particular who is my same age... She never shows an interest in conversation with me, or telling me whats going on in her life. If she is going to say something to me, it always has a negative spin against me. I would be interested in hearing from you folks whether this is a normal thing with some people, and how I should take it?

sounds flirty to me. Why dont you show an interest in her, or tell her something about your life? I hope YOU can grow as a person in spite of your difficulties, instead of judging her, her weight, her parentage (which she had no control over, btw).[ /QUOTE]
