My workplace is dumb. I think I have understood what she was trying to tell me. Why continue in a place where you are forced into a position where you have to pretend to be dumb? One can be oversensitive though. The world is a battlefield, there is no period of calm. One can never let one's guard down, as a single woman. Thats why we end up being bitches. Go to a place which enriches you. Or create a world around you that is positive and enriching. Or go with the flow, whatever.
