That's insanity. I can only imagine he doesn't tell girls he tries to date all this up front, which is why they keep leaving him.

Did he write this or did you, based on your observations of him?

You say this like you just invented trolling, but reddit is already filled with similar content

The man is being covered on literally every news source, print, radio, television, and internet

If I expected what I said to be the final word, why would I have cared about them straight up ignoring what I said. If they didn't want an honest response to their problem, they shouldn't have asked a question in this community. Also do you mean "productive/casual" or "superficial/pleasant"

I added "And why do you care?", but you didn't respond to anything I said anyway, so why does it matter

I don't know if I was insinuating that your experience here is your fault as much as I was giving explicit reasons why it's probably your fault.

I'm sure if I told him I won't move, I would be labelled as aggressive, uncooperative and problem creating.

Labelled by who? The stranger who wants your table? And then what? And why do you care? This is all you, trying to people please and avoid conflict. Assertiveness is a skill you can learn and would go a long way toward helping you with the problem you're describing.

Based on your comments here, and your post history, it sounds like you may live somewhere with an awful culture. It also sounds like you're really negative and disdainful of others, and also pretty passive, being willing to move twice for strangers who wanted your table. All this sets you up for a bad time.

The way to not be bullied is to not let yourself be bullied. Don't give someone else the power to decide how you feel. Laugh at them or ignore them and move on instead of dwelling in anger or resentment.

I live in the US, and while bullying does happen, it's far outside the norm. I've never experienced it in my professional life, and instances even when I worked retail and grocery when I was younger were always addressed. Bullying is something children do, and adults with personality problems.

Well fuck these doctors for trying to help, I guess
