A job I'm applying for is asking on the interview form what i would do to upsell items and get people to buy more stuff. I am autistic and really don't know how i would go about answering this because I wouldn't try to get people to buy stuff just to buy stuff, I would want them to buy things because they needed it. I don't know what to write in response to the question because it just feels so icky and kind of against my own moral code.

I am an excellent salesperson for things I believe in... I refuse to sell something useless or faulty.... I can't sell you a Samsung washer or travertine for your shower. I will sell you an overpriced corner cabinet with a fancy pull-out accessory because it will make your life better.

It's important to know your limitations. With the right company, your moral compass won't be tested so often.

That's a big red flag. You already know it makes you feel uncomfortable before you even start the job. I would definitely not apply for it / not accept it if offered. We only have so many hours in our lives and what we do has to count. You will be miserable if you waste that precious time in a position where you would be expected to do something that is against your principles. Keep on trying, keep on applying. The right job will come up.

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess.

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
