She was an older woman too, like late 50s or something, I never expected n*rmies in the adult world to act like preppy stacies in high school. I thought everyone would behave, well, like an adult, I discovered it was going to be the same shit the rest of my life, people hating me and undermining me for no reason. If I have a good idea, it will be plagiarized, if I work hard, I won't get credit, people won't respect me even if I do everything right and go the extra mile, if I try to stand up for myself they will lie out the ass and act like I am a bad person or doing so. When I walk in the room people quickly sus out that I am different fair game.

I didn't realize it at the time, I just thought "oh, I was unlucky to come across the 1% of people who are horribly nasty people", but very soon I realized it was not a statistical anomaly. The chances of meeting 3 such people in a row are 1 in a million after all. I wish I understood earlier that society is shit, n*rmies are shit and you only really get anywhere in life by gaming the system.
