my inappropriateness on the (volunteer) job is caused by my sza illness. So, he ordered me to attend individual therapy. I have an appointment with a therapist, (male), on the 9th of August in the afternoon.

I work in a nursing home as a volunteer. I never think that my actions or statements are “inappropriate”. But, the staff nurses and my bosses always think otherwise.

What did you do @SkinnyMe?
Why were you inappropriate?

I myself am completely un aware of my inappropriateness until it is pointed out to me that what I’ve said or done is wrong. It is always a complete surprise to me.

For instance, this one young man about 20 years old in a wheelchair, indicated that he was too warm and indicated that he wanted his shirt off. So, I helped him take his shirt off. Well, that was a No No according to the staff.

I see. I can imagine why they would say that and also why you would do that. I do some voluntary work with adults with learning disabilities. I constantly worry about appropriateness.

How long have you been there?

So you don’t need more of them! It sounds like an odd situation. 9th August is quite a long wait.
