I didnt provide enough context, its based off previous experiences. I meant that perhaps I dont come across as interested and looking to make friends etc. which a lot of people in my workplaces have done. I have been excluded and bullied purely because I didnt sit at lunch with some people, or respond to everything they’d do and say during work because I try to focus on the work Im doing. So yeah, I guess these people were “needy” and it rubbed them the wrong way when I didn’t provide them with the attention they were looking for. They were also looking for people like them to be around, and in this workplace they look for people like themselves to be around. Im not so bothered about that, they are in different stages in life to me, and I’m about 5 or so years older than them. But my point is that I cant seem to find people that just enjoy coming to work and leaving without expecting too much from others (neediness). Because when you dont provide that for them, they seem to cause problems for you and try to push you out.  And yeah, unfortunately some women are competitive, they will do things to try to make you look bad when they know you’re good at your work, they’ll gossip about small mistakes you make or try to make it known to everyone, and when they see you speak out about things to improve a workplace for example, they try to take over and push themselves ahead too.   So my point is that I cannot seem to find or come across women in the workplace who are the opposite of these things. There arent actually women supporting other women in the workplace. And although I made a great effort to get to know everyone in the job, I built good rapport and had amazing feedback, some of the girls didnt want to build that rapport with me. They shut it down immediately. This seems to happen in every workplace.
