Me too. Working FT, and for periods 7 days a week, to provide. But missing out massively.

I'm guessing the assault was whilst you were working at the hospital - the rules about disclosure are quite strict.


In any case - my biggest regret. Trying to fix a relationship for 8 years, which to be honest clearly didn't work after the 3 year mark.

If you bother to read my post you;d noted that it was before my employment.
But don't worry as I've met people like you before.

You are lucky in a sense as i have met people that decide to have none and regretted it.

A good one. I only realised this fact when I became a granny eg the time I give to my grandchild is about 90% more as i was working 50 hours plus a week.

Huh? People like me?


Firstly your post doesn't say it was before your employment there.


And given it was a hospital they would've done a CRB / DBS check. So It's difficult to see how you could've hidden the conviction if it was before your employment.


But hey whatever, I wasn't actually having a go at you.

I can't argue with this ^^^^.


The OP's 2nd regret shouldn't be about sharing a secret but about lying to HR.


Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

Being an introvert and too shy in my teens to the point that I don't have any non-work friends in my 20s

I am both an introvert and shy (they are different things) and probably about twice your age.

I have a handful of close friends (at the "would invite to my wedding if I ever have one and make sure the date is one they could attend" threshold) and rather more accquaintances. One from secondary school, one a former work colleague that left our company seven or eight years ago, one from a hobby, one from my time online gaming 15 years ago (Everquest) and one that was initially a friend of hers, but is now simply another of my friends.

All of them I see very occasionally (introvert - socializing is really tiring so I have to restrict it), I don't have this regular social group that some people have. I accumulate friends very slowly, when I was mid twenties I'd met exactly one of the people listed above.

So, don't despair, you have time yet.

Oh and of the five people I listed above, three are women (I'm not). Some people find that odd.

Aw, hun.
Sorry to have upset you.



But the part about keeping a secret is true and may be worth keeping in mind.
