I'm currently going through abuses from people at my workplace and public..it all started when i embarrassed myself with a cracky voice when talking to people, these toxic staffs will pick it up, imitate, laugh amongst themselves and then make a parody of me, making all sorts of weird, crying sounds, they will smirk at me when i walk past them..

These experiences are not limited to my workplace..i hear similar funny sounds from people in the public, even strangers started to mock at me outside. This further agitated me and angered me a LOT. Till i feel like i want to confront them and even to the extent of bringing a knife and slash these assholes at work. I cant control anymore. I feel very injusticed.

Hi,

There probably isn't much that you can do about people in the public being mean to you other than to basically "take the high road when they take the low road," or in other words, to just go on doing your thing while (to the fullest extent possible) ignoring any attempts to mock you or to otherwise be mean to you. People can be mean pretty much everywhere we go in life, and there's no denying the fact that when people are mean to us, it's going to hurt. And although we sometimes might need to react in some way to others who mock us or who are otherwise emotionally abusive toward us, I've noticed that showing those who engage in such behaviors toward us that we're upset usually just feeds their negativity and is thus something that's best avoided. I would, however, suggest that you consider talking to a manager about the emotional abuse that your coworkers seem to be engaging in toward you. It's the responsibility of the managers of a company to make sure that all of the company's employees are treating one another with respect, and if it's clear that your coworkers aren't being respectful toward you (and it sounds like it's most certainly the case that your coworkers aren't being respectful), then I think that notifying a manager about this problem would probably be a good idea. It saddens me to hear that your coworkers and some in the public are being emotionally abusive toward you, but I'd recommend responding to the emotional abuse that you've been enduring in the right way rather than doing something drastic. Take care.

Ok, thanks for the advice.. do u think i should quit my job? Discussion with the manager doesnt seem sucessful since they only allow a short period of break for me to sort myself out. What is your opinion on this?

Whereever you go in life, therewill always be ignorant, rude people. You can't fightthem; pick your battles. Remember, there behavior has nothing to do with who you are, and everything to do with who THEY are.

Switching from a toxic job environment might help.

If you have the option to talk to a manager either before your work shift begins or after your work shift ends on a particular day, you might want to consider doing that. Otherwise, writing a letter to a company manager and passing the letter along to the manger might be something to think about doing. As one of the previous posters mentioned, looking for another job where your coworkers might be more respectful toward you might be a good idea, but I'd recommend doing as much as you can to try to get your coworkers to treat you more respectfully before quitting your job. And if you do eventually decide that leaving your current job might be the best thing to do, I'd advise looking for another job while you're still working for your current employer, if that would be at all possible for you. As I understand it, companies are more likely to hire somebody who's currently employed than they are to hire somebody who's recently stopped working somewhere else, so I think that looking for a different job while you're still working at your current job would be the best thing to do if you do decide that staying at your current job isn't what would be best for you.

These people are jerks, disrespectful and more. When there kid gets picked on they get all upset. What is the Difference? How old are they. Workplaces can be cruel. I dealt with it. You can't go too management they don't care and HR is there to protect the company you would be the trouble maker. You don't want to act violently. So you got this fight or flight going on all day at work it wears you out. You need to get another job before you quit. I think a independent job would work best for you. Why should you leave it's the new American way.What civil rights

Document everything!!!! Ever glance, rude word or attitude. Be as detailed as possible and go to HR and tell them it's a toxic work environment and it's effecting your sense of well being and ability to do your job to your fullest potential and ask them what they plan to do to help you and the company function better. Don't roll over and accept this as that won't be good for your self esteem or sense of power. Look for another job while doing this but don't let these jerks steal your job or force you out. If you do, the bullies will win, and they will continue to infect the lives of other sensitive people. Avoid violence at all cost, keep your cool on the outside. HR does work for the company and not you, but if they are doing what you say, it's a toxic environment and if you have proof and can get a witness, you probably have a legal case. Good luck

I just wanted to say that I very much agree with what you wrote here and gave what I think was some excellent advice. This isn't to say that I didn't find the other comments that have been made to this thread to be good, but I must say that I found your comment to be particularly good.

I'm sorry to hear this. No one should treat you this way.
