Got hired 2 months ago at this company specifically 3rd shift because I have moderate social anxiety and at past jobs 3rd shift workers keep to themselves mostly. I don't talk to people unless talked to first 2 months in only a handful of people have talked to me and the other 90% haven't even made an attempt.Now it seems that they've started talking crap about me probably about how I don't talk. I answered a question a coworker that I've gotten comfortable with yesterday during a shift meeting and some guy from another department whispered to no one so I think it was just for me to hear "it talks." Anyway subtle jabs and being avoided probably because they're guilty of talking crap about me isn't going to get me to be more social, probably the opposite. It feels like these people genuinely dislike me. I didn't think not talking to people would be such a problem, I'm just 1 person I don't see why they take it personal. I am female and the majority of the people that don't like me are male but there's women in that mix too. I would expect this kind of behavior from catty women but I'm shocked at how many of these men are acting like divas over one person not talking to them. We're not even in the same department, there wouldn't even be a reason for me to talk to them other than just to talk. I stay late and come early a few times and have met people from other shifts that also keep to themselves, one even has so much anxiety that she can't be the only person in the room and will quickly walk out if anyone is in there with her. I haven't caused any problems for these people so I don't get where this is coming from. This is a nice job, pays well, and I expected people here to be more about the money than about making friends like I'm not concerned what people here do on the weekends or at work, I'm here for the paycheck. So yeah... should I just stay the course and hope it stops or should I do something? Being more social isn't an option I just can't.
>>32600424You have to suck their dicks, femanon. Then they’ll love you!
>>32600442The job doesn't pay that good... and some of them don't even have dicks!
>>32600424Just find another job.
>>32600424I'm in the exact same position as you OP, been working at a company for the past 4 years. At first I got along well with my team members but eventually they all quit and I was moved to a different department where I didn't really struck a conversation with anyonenow 3 years later I still haven't talked to most of the people that sit a couple of meters away from me and I feel way too awkward to break the ice with them so I just mostly ignore them, thankfully I only got to the office for a couple of hours once a week so I don't need to experience the awkwardness for longI did notice they got a lot more passive aggressive with me as time went on probably out of frustration overthinking stuff like "this guy doesn't want to talk to me, wtf is his problem with me?" even though the real reason was me being an extremely awkward retard that doesn't talk to anyone who doesn't start the conversation with him firstmaybe explaining your personal situation to them could help a bit with how they perceive you, but as a fellow introvert I sure as hell wouldn't want to open myself up to complete strangers like that so it's a difficult position to be in.. I'd say you should stay and keep doing what you're doing, being in social isolation like this still beats having to listen and feign interest to their boring ass normalfag stories next to the watercooler

Look anon, first of all your coworkers are a bunch of fucking faggots who treat you in this shitty way despite not knowing you.When you don't like something, you may have the option of changing it and you always have the option of changing your perspective. I prefer the second option. You can change your perspective realizing they are all faggots and that you don't want to be friends of faggots who may harm people like you by excluding them and by talking shit of them in their backs. Don't be scared because they don't like you, but instead be you who dislikes them and doesn't give a fuck about them. If you don't want to feel socially isolated, you will need to find outside of your job a way to talk with people. Also, regarding your social skills and problems, you can work them by just trying to speak with random people in certain situations that they will forget. It is hard to believe but it works, talking from experience. Just say some shit and make mistakes, it works. Also check how to win friends and influence people by dale carnegie and keep searching for books on social skills. At least that one works. And regarding the first option, changing the thing that bothers you, I mean, you can maybe get another job, but I don't recommend it, because this one seems to pay well.Best of luck anon, don't suck their dicks.
