Do you feel toxic to others?

[cemeteryismyhome]

From what I've read here, I think it's true that many of us here feel toxic to others, and that's one reason we want to erase ourselves. But damn, it happened yesterday at work again. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, I was just going about getting things done and communicating facts, and then BAM. I get warned to be more polite because I caused a problem. I didn't even try to explain, because it's like talking in an outer space alien language to people. I have no friends. It's rare that someone tries to be friends with me, but when they do, I avoid it, because I know what ALWAYS happens. It's hard to justify being alive like this.

Being a little impolite isn't toxic your human and sometimes you say something that comes out the wrong way. Its not like you picked up a chair and thew it at bro

It's annoying really, I am so derealised at work I feel like I am looking at people and speaking to them from behind a glass screen or something.
I don't know about you but it's taking 95% of my energy to speak to these people, not trying to hurt anyone but there isnt much energy left to spend on being nice

I think I definitely can be. I am such a cynical, pessimist. I realise it's too much for people sometimes. I try to avoid people where I can to be honest now.

Ive been reprimanded for not engaging in "small talk" and not "smiling enough". Workplace politics is fucking stupid and will criticize you for the literal smallest things.

Going to work, doing your job correctly and efficiently, and NOT bothering anyone is apparently not enough for people who make more than you, but does less work than you.

No I don't think so but I'm toxic to myself. I think after having been through so much trauma my thoughts are very toxic.
