Who am I?

But.  Possibly the most depressing word in the English language.  It's good but...
In my case, it is 'I like you but...'

Sorry BUT,  this is me.  I am not a bush you can trim to shape.  If I listen to people who 'like me' and try do be liked more I would have to cut 'me' out.
'Be careful how you say things, people don't like the way you say it and get hurt' - Hey!  Guess what!  That works both ways.

'People don't understand your sense of humour and get offended, so don't use it.' -
So I have to listen to blue jokes, nasty comments, rude remarks and toilet humour but I have to keep quiet?

So, you don't like the things I say, the way I think or my style of humour.  Well, I am no great beauty so it ain't my looks.  What do you like abouit me then?  The fact that I do all the dull, tedious, tricky work, get it done on time and don't complain?  That isn't liking me, my 'friend'.

So, do I go back to pretending to be an emotionless robot and keep my job, or keep battling and lose either my sanity or my chance of a comfortable life?  Or maybe I just give up on it all and on life.
Seem to me I've been here before.
Well.  The cap stays on the pills.

Tonight anyway.
