I try to talk to people at work to be friendly but it always feels like them responding to my questions and never ask me anything in return or make effort to keep the conversation going.
I don’t know what did I do wrong to be so lonely at work. Today I was talking to this guy and the conversation was going like this:
Me: are you going to the easter show this weekend?
A: no I’m going to the X show though
Me: oh X show?, the food looks so good I kinda wanna go
A: … (silence)
Another one also today, he was complaining to another coworker and about him not getting as many shifts this week I was sitting between them:
B: Dude I only get one shift this week
Me: because of the easter show so they’re making the 14 years old work instead of us because they’re cheap labor dude
B: oh really?
I know a bit about pay rates and I wanted to tell him more but he wasn’t interested.
I know I’m getting comments saying “people are there to work and not to make friends” but they do talk like friends, hanging out after work, following each other’s socials.
I feel like everyone at work hates me. I make mistakes sometimes because I wasn’t trained properly in the first place and when they make too much food (i work at a chained fast food restaurant) and I know the foods are just going to sit there or go to the bins later so I ask to bring some home and the manager always let me and I’m very appreciative about it but they aren’t seem too happy. Is this why I’m getting hatred?
