But if you are saying this is happening at work, then it IS a problem. Management should treat everybody equally. And there really should not be a hostile work environment created for certain individuals, for whatever reason.

Then again, not being able to decipher social rules might be a sign of being on the spectrum? What they used to call Asperger's? Because this problem seems to be coming up a lot for you in general. I have the same problem, kinda - people either love me or hate me. Or used to - i pretty much avoid people now.
