  • Yeah I’ve seen it go both ways before. Ideally they just send out some blanket memo “reminding people of our policy on $x” and everyone who may be doing something even a little questionable wonders if it’s about them and adjusts their behaviour.

    I actually just had that this week - we had a team thing and our director reminded us about “team norms” and blah blah, and I knew exactly why he was doing it, and who and what the real problem was - but other random people started showing up to meetings on time and such - because they all thought “oh crap, did someone complain about me?”

    But, as said, you have zero control over what they do, so sadly it could go either way.



  • I mean, on the one hand, I can kinda see it … I did a lot of bad shit I likely wouldn’t have otherwise done, in my room, behind a closed door, when I was around your age, and from your posts, I gather in roughly the same mental and emotional state.

    You need to get some professional help, and they may steer you to some needed meds. I didn’t know I needed anti-depressants until I was like 33 or something, and I’ve been on them many, many, many years since, because my brain just isn’t quite wired the same way as a normal brain. I can’t even begin to imagine how different my life could have been were this identified and addressed when I was still your age.

    It’s worth pursuing, if you’re able. Things can get better.

    I wonder though if it isn’t different in the case where church and state are one. I don’t live in Iran so I honestly don’t know. The fact that the people who do are burning them down though… where in the west, if someone wanted to go after government, it’s simply not going to enter their mind at all to burn down religious buildings … ?

    Just spitballing, I really don’t know.
