    Can't Stand Use of Zoom Meetings When a Phone Call or Email Will Do

    I work at my dad's small company and handle most of the operational, IT, and business aspects. I'm always looking at new products/services that will help us. I've noticed that since the pandemic, the sales process almost always includes a Zoom meeting. In the past, I would usually handle...

    Invited by Coworker to Dinner Party - Don't Want to Go, But They Won't Take No for an Answer

    On a positive note, she finally realized that I don't want to attend. Thank you for helping me to formulate a response. I was completely frozen and didn't know what to say. She did tell me that I am welcome to come if I change my mind. I've been thinking about it, and I guess the main reason I...

    Invited by Coworker to Dinner Party - Don't Want to Go, But They Won't Take No for an Answer

    Thank you. This is very helpful. I didn't lie, but I didn't exactly realize she would be so willing to find a solution. I am vegetarian, which everyone here pretty much knows. I would never expect people to spend their time/money trying to accommodate me. I guess I thought that would be enough...

    Invited by Coworker to Dinner Party - Don't Want to Go, But They Won't Take No for an Answer

    And of course I just got a text asking what dietary restrictions I have, so she can work with them. I was going to thank her for the invite and apologize that I can't attend. Is it rude to also say that I don't really like dinner parties and feel uncomfortable with people I don't know. I'm...

    Invited by Coworker to Dinner Party - Don't Want to Go, But They Won't Take No for an Answer

    This is almost exactly how I feel. For me it's a lose-lose, and I see this as a ruined weekend. It's going to occupy my brain for the next 72 hours. I do kind of feel bad about not going. On the other hand, I'm angry that someone is so insistent that I go to something. And I feel annoyed that...

    Invited by Coworker to Dinner Party - Don't Want to Go, But They Won't Take No for an Answer

    I work at my dad's small company, but I am primarily in the background. I handle most of the operational, IT, and business aspects, and I don't normally have contact with most of the employees. They're usually in the field, but depending on the month, they have a few office days. The employees...

    Getting Stressed Out When Things Are Moved/Changed

    This is my first time posting here, and I was hoping to get some input. I've been to multiple psychiatrists, and I've had so many different labels thrown at me (ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety, ASD/AD, Depression, etc.). I feel like I have a bunch of varying/overlapping issues and no clear...
