[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16296018, member: 46336"] It's called Juxtaposition. It's really a neurotic tendency all of us have to some degree. Don't beat yourself up over it Shane. What you're going through happens to everyone. Your specific examples are contrasting Civilian to Military life. Absolutely valid and real. Happened to me when I went from turning wrenches/running an automotive service counter to suddenly being in a Corporate suit and tie. I was used to talking shit with Tech's all day, wrenching after work, and generally more blue collar. Then I graduated with my Bachelors, got the big boy job, and struggled for a few years with the differences. I found myself speaking poorly/unacceptably in an office environment. Being more honky tonk blue collar in a white collar environment has good and bad sides. But certain things are more acceptable than others, and the brotherhood you tend to establish in a shop environment does not translate well to an office/board room. [/QUOTE]
