Do you get people 'turning against you' for no apparent reason eg in work situations?

From your question it is hard to tell what it is. I will say that when you don't play the game in a work situation, the ones that govern the game manipulate others to go against you. You will be tested to see how well you can be moulded into the *game*. The game will have a more professional terminology like *team player* or *ability to influence others*, or *poor communication skills*.. Basically it all simply means can you be trusted to do what the controller says/demands. If you have a mind of your own that acts on principle this will be out of character with what the controller seeks. So this controller will tell the clones that crawl up to him or her to roughen you up. Let you know that you need to OBEY what the political framework of the Organisation is.

I'm comfortable with hostility. It motivates me to stay sharp and on my toes.

During my years in military and outside the military when I was an employee I had a few issues with a few individuals. Just a few. It was nothing major but I always secretly in great detail documented everything that happened. They usually stopped fu*cking with me before it got out of hand.

My secret documentation was nothing more but letting them build up plenty of rope to hang themselves just in case I had to report them. I've actually had to disown for life a few of my family members using this method. I warned them to not try and get over me again, they didn't take my warning serious, I made them think they could still try and get over me without me not doing anything. When they created enough rope to hang themselves I disowned them.

I'm a quiet person. Someone told me one time they don't like me because I'm quiet. I don't think people dislike you for no reason, I think its for dumb reasons because they're retarded.

There probably is a reason. You're just not socially aware enough to realize it.

People are asshoIes, and Schadenfreude is humanity's favorite hobby. Don't take it personally.

Maybe you should learn to ask 'why?".

Most people have reasons.
