Blue,
I can relate to this very well. I first started hearing these comments from managers. Most of you that have been around my post know I will advocate for myself and others. I explained this.....I come to work to work not to make friends. I have friends outside of work. This was way before I was diagnosed and on meds. I noticed after being on Lithium I was a little more nonsensitive. My daughters would tell me things and be upset by my lack of emotions. I try to focus on their excitement level now so I can clue in on when to smile extra and say something nice. But I’m not doing it for anyone else. I like me just as I am. Everyone does not have to be all extra bubbly and goofy.
