    Am I the only person who thinks being given additional responsibilities at work is not always a bad thing?

    Also am I the only person who fails to see the connection between turning down bagels or pizza, and turning down additional tasks at work and how either of those things makes you mean? If anything, it might just make you appear to be less of a team player. Did they try to bribe you with pizza to get you to do the extra work, and now that you aren't eating the pizza, you won't do the work? I'm really confused.

    Still disappointed this isn't a typical mean people thread. What kind of a Friday is this!?

    Well I started a new program about 10 days ago. Its really simple. I have 2 protein drinks a day, lean meat, fruit and veggies. Its low carb/ low cal everything. So far its been great and the weight is dropping. I also exercise daily and drink lots of water. So anyway since I started this program I 've had a few people say I'm mean. I really haven't noticed a difference in my behavior. I've always had a zero tolerance for BS. Am I suppose to let you mistreat me and I smile? Heck No. I just thought it was funny.

    So no one called you mean before and you don't think your behavior has changed. It is possible that your tone when dealing with others has changed even though you don't think you are acting differently.

    I'd be mean too if I was wasting my calories on shakes twice a day. How many calories are you eating? Just curious...

    This may have been answered: Haven't read the whole thread.

    It's mainly people I work with. They want to pile up extra work on me and I wont do it. I've never been a push over. I now have more discipline- not to eat the bagels & pizza at the meetings. I guess change isn't easily accepted but I'm okay with that.

    So, you're "mean" because you don't let them walk all over you and let them influence you to do unwanted things? Tell them where they can stick their comments!

    I guess if your coworkers think you're mean it might be in your own best interest to soften your communication style some. But as a doormat in recovery I actually really admire non-*kitten*-takers.

    How many is a few? Two or three? Seven or eight?

    If a few equals many, perhaps there is some truth to what they are saying?
