I told her I was leaving work and we kept talking and she told me out of nowhere like “heyy, I’m going to really miss you around here” and I froze (it literally felt like I took a 5 second pause) and answered awkwardly like “yeah, I’m going to miss ALL OF YOU as well”
Like, can I be more awkward? It obviously came across as fake and weird
I’m planning on telling her that I will miss her and not everyone a the office, but not today but in a few weeks, what do you think?
I also want to keep in touch with her and other people from the office because I really like them but it is not like I have ever hung out with them outside the office, how can I say that to them without being weird?

You can write a note to her expressing how thankful you are for being coworkers and her making your work experience a good once. And then in general to everyone when you leave you can say something like “I’m gonna miss you guys! I’d love to get together one day and hang out, maybe hiking or something outside of this environment! Take care”
Something along those lines. I don’t think you should wait a few weeks but also don’t think to much about it 🙂 if you want you could even say something like sorry I was so awkward the other day, I am gonna really miss you and hope we can keep in touch.
Yeah for the friend I’d get it out of the way and just be honest with her.. we can all be awkward and I’m sure it’s endearing… if you are gonna miss HER, let her know.
That’s sweet she said that. ☺️
I’ll usually send a farewell email with at least a personal email and linked in to the people you connected with.
Be gentle with yourself, leaving a company can be stressful, so give yourself some grace, it’s okay to make mistakes. 🧚🏻♀️
