Re:How to adopt an “openness” mindset at work by snagglegaggle on Monday October 07, 2019 @05:17PM (#21186048)
I did, and took medication for ADHD for a while. It did not go well with school but I will probably need to go back on it.

At this point my scholastic "record" (accidentally submitted failing grades to a school) at all of the good state schools precludes me from admission despite good performance in HS, and despite submitting my psychiatric record.

So... it's bullshit. I see a lot of people talking about not being a victim, but everything I do is thwarted. There is no choice but for me to be the victim, and society doesn't care.

That's right, in large, society doesn't care and never will. Learn from your mistakes and move on. From reading all your posts I can tell you being assertive didn't get you fired, but probably your cynical attitude.

2-3 years wasted - please, even working a job out of your field for that amount of time will teach you new things. You are hooked on this school situation as being the roadblock that's seemingly impossible to overcome. Figure it out.

The choice is yours to be a victim of circumstance. Time to get your ducks in order and have a little humility and compassion for yourself instead of throwing your hands up and calling bullshit. This is life.
