Quester--I don't think you have to change yourself, you simply have to change a few of your behaviors. A coach could help you pinpoint specific things to work on--eye contaqct, tone of voice, smiling, whatever, and you will be able to freaking ace the workplace without changing who you are inside.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil, maybe you'll get lucky and it will be cancelled. I have a 3PM meeting tomorrow, but I can walk there.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Well, have a short-term temp job at the Airport, telling people where the bathroom is. I train tomorrow and then I work, not this weekend, but next weekend.
I fear I will not be able to cover the bills again. I need to remember to go to the Unemployment Office and see if I can file for last week. Oh, joy.

Dear ex-neighbor: after you sic your lawyer on me for not being proactive with dealing with my crazy tenant, do not be surprised that when I do say something to her about your complaints (and in a mild way, seriously) she goes insane on you. Did you think I was ignoring her just to annoy you? Apparently so.

The status is NOT quo.
Nora, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much crap.
Vortex, I hope the job shift is okay in the long run despite your trepidation. A bad boss can be murder, I know.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Just on a whim I stuck a yogurt in the freezer and now I've got something quite like strawberry banana kulfi. Frosty goodness!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Condo suckfest continues. Just crossing everything that the crazy lady living there leaves as planned.

This is what I was trying to say.

Oof. Well, a chance to practice those skills, I guess.

Nora, did the Tenant go crazy on the neighbor or Sid the lawyer? First I read it as the lawyer and was impressed. Then I realized you probably meant the tenant. Sorry b

on the neighbor, heh. It's just funny because they are basically mad at me and my property managers because we don't snap to whenever they complain. Because there's not much that can be done... witness, when I mildly asked the tenant about the neighbor's complaint, she went BANANAS on me via text and banging on their door.
See, engaging can backfire too!
