I get told I'm weird more than all other things combined probably. Over the years I've grown used to it, but I know it keeps a lot of people from wanting to get to know me (only a small portion of people get it).

I've been fine with this, but today I found out after asking a manager to consider me for a promotion, and she kind of said more than she wanted to by telling me that the lady who is in charge of the promotion, "Thinks you're too weird, but you work harder than most everyone else around here and customers love you so I don't see why not."

I walked out without thinking much of it, and then I had a huge insecurity check and went, "Wait, is my personality keeping me from being successful?"

I know I posted this in seduction, but you guys know more about this stuff than any other reddit there is. Plus this happens with girls, too. I meet a lot of girls I like who tell me I'm weird, and I'm like, "You've been talking to me for 20 minutes, you're already going to be like that?"

I don't know what makes me so weird is the problem. I know I see things differently than most, but I don't feel weird at all. I don't know if I'm just being insecure right now and I need someone to tell me to keep my course and fuck the haters, or if I need to seriously reevaluate my at-work persona here. I feel like I try hard to be a good employee at least.
