because you make them reflect on their npc choices, they start questioning why you wouldn't pick the correct choice like they did, thus implying that they are wrong for living the life they live. It's not about you, it's about them.

It's perfectly fine to have to this mentality, but you shouldn't wear it on your sleeve. It is possible to have good coworkers and good leadership at a job. Even if you don't like anyone at your job, you still have to spend about 2080 hours with these people per year on average, and you can either be miserable the entire time or try to make the best of it.

If I hated everyone I work with to the point of preferring complete isolation for 8 hours, I'd be looking for a new job. Granted I work remotely 3 days out of 5 so I don't have to put up with their shit as much.

Listen I “get it” when it comes to this kind of worker, but it comes off the same as gangstalking faggots.

Nobody cares that much about you not socializing. I have coworkers that are standoffish and barely communicate and all I think is “he just wants to be left alone” and leave it at that.

I don’t think “that little faggot! He better start interacting with me and enjoying my presence or else I’ll get him fired!”

Yet this seems to be what all these little quiet faggots think. They think they’re some underdog and the world is against them. Just go be a quiet fucking loser in the corner and stop draining all the energy in the room

It depends. On my previous desk job, it was me and a guy right next to me, in a small room. While I'm not much sociable, I did get a bit worried/upset on the days the dude didn't even greet or attempt to answer to questions or a bit of small talk and all, it made me think he was angry at me or something. I did like the dude though, sometimes we spent the whole day talking about anime and life shit.

I reckon maybe he sometimes got pissed that I arrived like 20 minutes late every day, but he didn't want to confront me about it.

>>61035532
>I don’t think “that little faggot! He better start interacting with me and enjoying my presence or else I’ll get him fired!”
Anon, you'll never believe it, but some people actually do think like this. I work with two lala homofaggots who insist on drama and always being the center of attention and they loathe this behavior from me because I'm behaving in the opposite. Other people don't seem to care, or even rather like that I just work and not bother anyone which actually does surprise me a bit, because I'm not used to such "normal" human reception. It's highly socialized NPCs that hate this behavior because they never focus on work for the sake of work being done, they focus on social posturing and you deny them what they crave. When dealing with such annoyances, I recommend you give them enough attention to make them feel special and then just go away. They won't be as toxic as they would be if you just ignore them the whole time.

NPCs are not even human.

2 days ago, I was at a desert resort golf course in Los Cabos, minding my own business, having a nice round.

It was hot and sunny out so I grabbed a baseball cap with my somewhat-prominent university athletics logo.

While taking a break to grab some water between holes, some drunk retard in pink shirt (very faggy looking) and pink shorts comes up to me and starts talking shit. I realize he is talking about football.

"Sorry, I don't really follow football."

He then asks me "So you just wear the cap for no reason, or?"

"Yeah, I went to school there."

The guy just looks at me like I insulted his entire family lineage. He mutters something under his breath and and walks off with more liquid poison in his hand. Mind you, it is 95 degrees out and sunny.

I grab my gatorade and go back to my cart to finish my round (had a nice time and even hit a few birdies).

This is me and it slowly becomes a problem at every job I've ever had. Normies short circuit when I enter and leave through the side door without talking to anyone or if I don't make the rounds asking "HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? GOOD? GOOD!" every Monday at 9am.

I'm not even rude. If someone talks to me I will happily oblige and do my best to make pleasant conversation. But I'm not going to go out of my way to talk to people to whom I have nothing to say. It's degrading for both of us. They get very frustrated about this

That's true. Important to attempt to be as cordial and friendly as possible to co-workers. But I'm not going to go out of my way to be extraverted when it drains my energy, energy that I'd rather use focusing on my job, hobbies or personal life.

>>61035667

>>61035532
I had a bunch of jobs when I was a wagie, and one was actually like that, right down to getting in shit for how I spent my breaks with my eyes closed instead of eating and talking. Most of the office was catty women with a complex, which may have played a role. Never had an issue in the other ones and usually got praised on reports for being friendly and efficient.

>>61035253
It heavily depends on what kind of person you are.
If you're someone that people enjoy being around but you don't socialise with them then they end up resenting you.
If you're a wallflower who nobody notices or cares about, then nobody will notice if you aren't there.
I twice got in trouble with the management in my old workplace because I wasn't speaking to people, this was a place where numerous people were not on speaking terms with one another and had been that way for years but for some reason, people simply couldn't cope if I wasn't on friendly terms with them.

You guys are the same type of faggots that you find on r9k crying how you wasted your college years because all you did was show up to class and retreat back to your dorm everyday.

It’s hard for me, cuz I used to be a huge sportsball fan, and I think it’s all bullshit now. I’ve gone from a big fan to literally believing that society has fallen in large part due to the system engineering the masses slowly over the decades to care so much about it while the operators took everything over.

But I still do keep on eye on my teams just cuz, and I don’t mind talking sports, but when people talk about sports and engage with me about it, I just don’t have the heart to say “I don’t watch sports it’s a mindless waste of time.” Cuz I’m good natured at heart. And I know it will upset them. Online I will go after them though and go in depth about why it’s awful to watch sports.

It doesn't have to be fake friendship. No one is saying your coworkers have to be your best friends, but they're also humans just like you. You people act like working together means they're some other category of human beings. And it's that not even hard to get along with people. Literally just saying "hi" or "good morning" when you make eye contact is all it takes to be considered friendly at work most of the time.

The game is to get as much dirt on someone then wreck them. When you take yourself out of the picture and just go to work, to work, you fuck with their plans and it infuriates them, but it also puts you at the top of the shitlist. You should do this for adjacent co-workers like who are in a different department, but when it comes to your own if you have a touch of the ‘tism just make shit up. I used to tell my co-workers my weekend plans were to volunteer at some homeless shelter with my GF and then go to church on Sunday and then invite them to instantly turn it down.I haven’t been to church in years, I don’t have a gf, and I wouldn’t even give penny to some lazy bum much less feed the fuckers. But I gave off straight edge normie vibes and generally harmless that they didn’t see me as a threat. Which made climbing through ladder that much easier. Normie corpo work life is PVP, once you get that you have to develop a strategy that works.

In reality this is true for most people but there will always be some people who see it as something to fix and their method of fixing it is to complain about it. It's easily ignored unless they have some influence over your career progression.

I can get a new job tomorrow if I so wished. I've managed to get an agreement to only do 25 hours of work a week yet still receive full pay. I spit in the face of being social. I am the energy drain. I am the one pointing out everything wrong at work. I am the one writing at least 3 reports a week about how fucking useless someone else is at their job. Fucking fire me, I dare you, so I can go with tinted glasses to another place that will turn out to be filled with the same amount of useless normgroids I carry. But I won't figure that out until after a little while, and that period is usually pleasant, then I realize I'm surrounded by idiots again. And it repeats. I'm hoping to retire soon, when I hit 40.

As someone who does most of the shit posted in that picture, I get their resentment, and that's why I try to sometimes not do it and be social.

It's just that. They'd rather be home a well and realize that they see you more than their own families. When you spend that much time with someone it's better to make him a friend to tolerate it. That's how normalfags do it though so don't seethe over what I'm saying, I personally couldn't give two shit about being friends with coworkers or asking them shit I don't care about.

You are a good person. I want to give you a gift:
Try alkaline baths. That's what the ancient Celtic druids used to do. The bath water uses reverse osmosis to draw acidic metabolic waste products out of the skin, reducing stress and slowing down the aging process of the skin and body. That way, when you retire at 40, you'll still have a healthy body.
Bioleo Alkaline Bath on Amazon is the best.

>we won 3-0 in each game

Bitch ass niggers, I don't do hobbies, all I want is to leave.

>ou're like a black hole that devours any good energy in the room
Lol, lmao.
In my previous job I had 5 people in my area:
>direct superior, he mostly handed me work and pointed out which was priority, and answered questions when I had them
>boss of my boss, he was rarely in the office and sparsely handed me work too
>single mother who stank of smoke and often rambled about her life's problems, how expensive everything was, her abusive husband, her teenage boy missing class, how she would prepare sandwiches and other inane shit
>foreigner who's lived in the country for decades, before adulthood and still had a strong accent, would talk about how to exercise and how often he did it (he was fat), brought junk food and ate it in his desk, went to asia for a junglewife, always came late, took the longest to do his paperwork and would talk for the longest time out of his office, literally standing with hands shoved in his pockets waiting for others to pick up on any thread of a conversation that was long over, in order to not have to go back to work
>cardio maniac, extremely fit bald dude in his 50s, always glad to help and otherwise doing his job efficiently, clocked in early every day
Guess who "did just what was required of them".

Jfc this me and I was just thinking about this. I always get this sense that people at work loathe me for no reason other than the fact that I do my job and keep to myself. I’m productive and I turn good profits but yet, it’s the extroverted faggots who get special treatment even though they don’t do nearly as much and are always complaining about everything.

What’s even more interesting is that they all have their own little clicks yet and the rare times that I work with these individuals they always seem to talk shit about each other. WW3 needs to hurry the fuck up
