At my first job, I once was telling a personal story - don’t remember what it was, it was most of my life ago - and noticed that everyone around me looked pretty bored. Mid sentence I said “but I just realized none of you care, so nevermind.” One of them said “well, at least he’s honest” and they all walked away.

I’ve gotten better at socializing since then, but that still hurts on occasion.

yeah, I’ve had a job

Always an honour to be talked to by someone unless they’re being intentionally rude, in which case i’m walking in the opposite direction to them ASAP. No words needed.

Often consider it as they approach.

All. The. Fucking. Time.

Well yeah, but isn’t that just normal? Not related to a burnout.
