So i dont join them because i cannot afford it at all so they think im being uptight and also they have changed towards me because they also think i dont want anything to do towards the company. But im also not a drinking person or a too much party person. And i feel shy and well insulted because i dont know how to tell them with out them being upset at me!! I also have to do like 5 things everyday and dont always finish it in 1 or 2days like the one lady complaing so easy but i have to help customers, answer the phone, file the bosses stuff (paperwork) , Filling the other ladys work as well the one that is easy to run about me taking too long sometimes.!! Im always friendly i always try my best but then it feels like they dont want me here. Have mood swings with me. One day they are friendly with me , the other day keep on giving me stuff to do , But then i already have a lot off stuff to do. i dont take lunch have to much stuff to do. And my boss is like this a person should not complain of how much work they are doing. But how can i explain to him without the other lady's getting me in trouble or only hearing there side of it. They sometime dont finish there work in 2weeks, but if i dont do anything right i never hear the end of it. They also sometimes talk private stuff witch i feel is not working by me. So that also is a negative they say. So tomorrow whe are having a meeting with the boss i dont know to be glad or did i so something wrong?? What would you all say? Then they also say some days i do too much and im a good worker and then i say or do something not the way they want im back at square one :(

Well just tell your boss all of this.
Be honest. Tell them you feel like you are under more pressure than everyone else, and that people judge you for not coming out.
Also, when people do ask you out... just say "Sorry I'm broke!"
But try and make the effort to go to a BBQ or something and even if you stick to orange juice and leave a bit earlier, then people will appreciate you made the effort.
Good Luck!! xx
