Why would I be like this?

Why am I like this? Not the transsexual issue here, but me as a person. When I speak to people it's like I give total trust to people, and act way too friendly to the point of being gullible when I speak to them one-on-one. I never get angry with people either, and only get angry at myself in my mind. And I always accept people, whoever they are, as long as they accept me.

And I feel like I always want to be loved, even if I am not, it's like I cannot communicate well with people either sometimes. Some people find this strange and I can see it, because they will smile at me, but not a mean or awkward smile but a natural smile. And then people really dumbed down their conversations with me, and I can see that they do it as if they are speaking to a child. Even my managers do it, like they won't speak to me directly but would speak to a co-worker, or they would use very clear sentences. I get described cute way too many times for a typical 18 yr old guy too.  And I am getting a little annoyed by it, but I can't change how I act to a point of a whole persona for days on end. And then this one dude in an angry tone when i took his cart (these things are used to bring out the products to the floor) said, "Boy that's mine".

I was really thinking about myself as a person, and I am not really normal... there's something really weird about me, and I think it's a little bit like a "Marilyn Monroe" personality. I can't put my finger on it, but I see a lot of her in me, in which she just wanted to be loved and accepted but she never was. It's the innocence I see in her even when she was old, and I think I have that quality (still I never had sex, smoke, got drunk, went to parties or anything besides computer, school, and work). Then she was really conscious of her image, and I am to a high level, but that image is all in my head.

Why would this be happening to me?

Don't be taken in by Marilyn Monroe's public persona, it was an act.. She was a very intelligent woman who played the stereotype to her advantage..

As to why you are the way you are, sorry, I can't really answer that without knowing you better.

I never said she was dumb, just naive and innocent. I think some of that was real based on some interviews like at the end of one she said, "Don't make me into a joke".

"Don't make me into a joke".

My existence revolves around an ability of mine to put anybody into a yellow happy-faced ball at the end of my strings. It gives them something useful to go boldly where no man has gone before, and we always get useful feedback!  >:-)

Life is no joke,

Often, the problem is not that we are strange or unusual, but the way we precieve others is.

The guy who snaped at you when you took his cart. That sounds like a lot of people I know.

People speaking down to you generally do so because they can.

I don't want you to go away thinking there is anything wrong with you as such, but you are clearly quite tense and feeling insecure.

OK, it's easy to say, but you will need to put some rationale into your mind. The rule with work, all jobs, is you leave your personal life at the factory gate.

Concentrate on your job. I appreciate that it's quite boring and not really taking much of your brain power. But once you've grasped the basics, concentrate on achieveing some leve of perfection.

Remember this. Do your job. Put your personal left behind you, while working. Forget about relationships with others. These are very rare in a work place. Concentrate upon some level of perfection.

That way, you get paid. And that's why every person on this entire planet works. Money!

Well I do my job fine, it's just that those two managers give me a hard time. When I was just promoted by the other co-manager to that position (she's female), and the head department (female) told everyone I am amazing, and one co-worker is jealous of me (she's female)...

I just wish I could see what people are thinking when they speak to me.

Then that one manager (when the head boss needed people that night), didn't want me to do anything besides sweeping the floor after a few guys were pushing the tables to the other side of the store (which had  a lot of things on).

I was just thinking why am I doing the sweeping, and an old man who is like 60 yrs old is doing all the pushing. I then was like, "Hey is there anything else to do", and he was like, "go see the other manager" ...

I just put myself in the place of pushing  a few tables then because I wasn't going to sweep the floor for a whole hour.

Reminds me of a time, not so long ago, when I was working with a boss's son, some young guy, about 22, with something to prove. The guy who cleaned ths site hadn't turned up and this young fellow sent me to wash out the toilets.

No problem. It was actually a lot more fun than working with him. And, I still got paid the same.

I'm sorry, that sounds like I'm making light of your feelings and that is not my intent at all.

It's about doing the job and taking the money. I know the feeling of wanting to know what others are thinking, so well. But I'm pretty certain it will be something along the lines of,

'I know I'm a crappy manager. I have to have all these things done. If they aren't then my boss might fire me. I'll get this one to sweep up. That'll be that job out the way. I do hope they don't give me any backchat. I'm not in the mood'.
