Does anyone ever feel like everyone around you at work is out to get you and plotting to get you fired? Feels like all my coworkers have ulterior motives even when they’re being incredibly kind to me at a surface level and checking in on me

Please don't take this as an attack, but, if you feel that everyone is out to get you, is there something you have done to cause this? Most people out there just want to work and then get back to their lives.

Just because you're being paranoid, OP, doesn't mean there isn't actually someone out to get you. Up that paranoia a few notches and you'll be good to go.

As a wise man once said, "sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight."

Some people are snakes for sure, but it sounds like you’re insecure. I can promise you that 99% of people don’t actively think about you. People are kind bc it’s just easier than being rude, even if they don’t like you.

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

I got laid off and not sure if I should find a place cheaper to live by myself and pay rent with UI for couple of months while studying or go back home where family is and contribute much less than I will be spending living alone to parents for rent. I will be saving a lot. Problem is younger sister who is mentally draining and steals my things, makes nasty comments towards me lives there and her bedroom will be right next to mine. She once got me arrested for no reason. What should I do?
