My manager just called me a selfish, untrustworthy and lack of self-initiative just because I said I want to stay at home on my holiday weekend instead of going to the company's party.
A little background about myself, I just got diagnosed recently with depression and bipolar (of course no one at work know). And also I have a tendency to avoid social gathering just because I don't feel comfortable.
So when my manager provided me the option to join the party, obviously I'm gonna say no. Then she asked me why and I naively said that I had to go cycling this weekend, this was when she said why I'm not part of the team and I'm being selfish? Not only that, she publicly brought this up again in front of the whole team today. There are a lot of people in my department refused to join this party but none of them are being questioned, why me? I want to enjoy social gathering like everyone else, it's just I'm wired wrong and I can't enjoy it.
