So I have a coworker who has lunch with me now (he’s new) and I didn’t want to be rude and bitchy. I’m already introverted and I think it comes across as aloof. So I went along with it for a week now and I actually don’t enjoy it.
For one he’s very stingy and finds certain places that are affordable very expensive and kinda becomes a bit of a drag.
I never knew I was this much of a pushover before till I realized the thought of telling a coworker no for lunch was daunting.
What do I say without burning the bridge?
