    Some people just don’t know how to start a conversation and will say anything that comes to their head.

      Or, they’ll be like the OP and just ignore a new coworker entirely and never even say hello, which is also kinda rude and makes people think you’re mad all the time.

          Sure, but it’s still kinda rude and makes people think they’re unfriendly, even if they don’t mean it that way.

              I guess fuck me for being shy, right? How rude and selfish of me to just keep my head down and do my job.

                Same. Outside from a quick hello (and I mean quick) to people I’ve deemed friendly, I’ll only talk if the job I’m doing demands it. I won’t be rude if someone asks me something, but the answer will also be quick and to the point.

    A lot of people in here are the weirdos at work, it seems. Just say hello to new people and get it over with. Actually, you dont even need to say hello. Just not and smile.

    I can’t imagine saying that to somebody, not unless I knew they were going to take it ok. If he really looks mad all the time and I don’t know him, I’m going to assume anger issues and probably not try to provoke them. But if they look like that all the time and I personally know that they’re nothing like that, I guess I could raise it up with them after a long time.

    In this case though it doesn’t sound like she knew him, so kinda weird. I guess some people just don’t care and just say whatever’s on their mind when it pops in.

    This would be a green flag for me to red flag myself by pusilanimously oversharing.

    Next time with Anon: “Never does anybody talk to me or show any interest in me! Also people discriminate against me, just because I am awkward in conversations!”

      Any girl who would take the initiative to say something like this to a guy is into him. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been vocal about it, she would have just properly avoided him.

        Absolutely not. Women are people the same way men are. We ask stupid questions that we didn’t think through purely out of curiosity, and then realize how rude it was on the drive home just like you do.

        She may be, but if she is, that’s a godawful opener. I have 0 rizz but something like ‘I like your shoes’ or w/e is never hard to pull.
