Dear people of Am I the Asshole, I asked and then I learned that I was the asshole for my last social conflict with my family. I inform you with pleasure that I apologised to them via e-mail and they accepted my apology but they asked I don’t show for any family events anymore.I happily accepted their decision.l won’t be invited to anything other than funerals from now on.
I also had 2 sessions with a psychiatrist and he is sure that I have Schizoid Personality Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder combined. Due to this unique situation, I don’t have the emotional spectral ability that other people has and maybe it was a blessing for my job because I never felt isolated or alone while working in remote locations. After I emailed this information to my parents, they asked to cover my medical expenses because they felt guilty for not realizing my disorders while raising me but I declined and said “Why does it matter now?” and asked not to be contacted other than our monthly calls unless I reach first. My psychiatrist isn’t keen on this decision but he says he undertands it. Other than that,my sisters openly stated they don’t want me near their kids,understandable.
My manager said it won’t change how we work but I might be offered different positions in work due to my conditions. Before that they were thinking to pull me into the central offices but right now,I will be offered an executive position for the external operations and I will be a supervisor for the new engineers and the projects that our company executes.Next month,I will be leaving for Malaysia actually for a new project.
I also started therapy and yesterday,I laughed at a joke and it wasn’t by force.I found it funny. Maybe I will learn to touch my emotions someday. Goodbye and thank you for giving me the leverage and the sources to start a new developmental path.
