I'm sat here going to myself "I am not a failure, not a failure, not a failure" and "It's not my fault, not my fault, not my fault"..... It's not helping but then I was told on an nlp course once that your brain doesn't recognise the word not... which is why they tell you to set positive goals rather than negative ones ie "I will get that job" rather than "I won't fail the interview"
Still sat here crying though

Well I think it is very sneaky. Surely they could have had a meeting with you and discussed this.
You are an intelligent woman, I'm sure you could have adapted your style to suit what they want. How are you meant to read minds when they don't tell you.

Too direct and task focussed?! Basically you dont suffer fools gladly and are more competent than the rest of them, and it would eventually show them all up!!!
