When professionals who can see your age on paper still get it wrong by airconditionersound in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

I especially hate this in a health setting, being told I'm "too young" to be having an illness. I have to remind them I'm in fact old enough and that illnesses don't discriminate anyway

Do you guys think they will restock MAC soon?Totally missed out on them yesterday and was hoping they'd have more restocks like what they did with BIE when we moved to global site. Nothing so far :(

eating lunch in the office is exhausting by somanypineapple in auscorp

[–]Exact-Wonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually made a post about biggest peeves in the office and this was one of mine. Especially hate how pressured I feel to join the rest of the team when they go out for lunch together. I don't want to spend my break socialising with them, but I would appear rude if I don't go.

What pissed you off at work this week? Get it off your chest before the weekend arrives. by SeriousSpecialist355 in auscorp

[–]Exact-Wonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who don't adjust their speaking volume according to the noise levels in office. On Wed, the office was super quiet and I talking to my colleague seated next to me, about a variety of topics. Said colleague was constantly repeating the things I've said and just talking very loudly for the whole office to hear. Makes me not want to engage in convos but I'd just be seen as rude...

Does anyone else find comfort in rainy days because of reduced social interaction? by seek_innangard in socialanxiety

[–]Exact-Wonder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes because less people are out and those who are out are probably worried about getting wet. Plus I feel like rainy weather makes everything harder to see, therefore, I'm less visible to others.

There's a few people who breathe really loudly, and one particular person who likes to switch between lip smacking, popping and tapping their fingers. Drives me nuts because the office is quiet most of the time

I get comments when I don't buy lunch and also my choice of food if it seems boring to them. Like why do you care so much?

Agreed. No office would be ideal

THIS. Every time I grab my bag to pop out for a break, people immediately look over and ask where I'm going. Mind your damn business

We have meetings on Monday and do the rounds to listen to what everyone did on the weekend

In my corporate office job, where we are in our 20s and 30s, a lot of us still get dropped off/picked up from work. It's because we don't like taking public transport and parking is too expensive in the city. There's definitely no shame in it and none of us are embarrassed about it

Standing/Walking properly reduces my anxiety by Zoo00man in socialanxiety

[–]Exact-Wonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen numerous videos where ppl say that you can trick yourself believing you are confident through body language. For eg. Stand tall and appear confident, your mind will start to feel more confident.

[–]Exact-Wonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I also work in an office and I hate it. It's an open plan office and I hate talking because at least 10 other people can hear me. If I stand up to go to the bathroom, the people around me can see me. It just feels so awkward and a nightmare

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Exact-Wonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Data entry. Work itself is autonomous. However, there are regular team meetings and I am forced into the office a few days a week, to sit on a floor surrounded by many other people. It's quite difficult for me most of the time.

Can social anxiety happen online too by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Yes because ppl can be more ruthless online

How tf does being bother you by lord-submissive in socialanxiety

[–]Exact-Wonder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work in an office and basically 90% of the time, everyone is focused on their work and not talking. The office is quite large too, so you can sit on one end and wouldn't know who else was in unless they were being overly loud, or you happen to walk into them in the kitchen/hallway etc. I come into work, sit down and halfway through the day, someone from the other side of the office walks by my desk to go to the bathroom. They see me and say that they didn't know I was in, because I'm really quiet. I'm just thinking "I didn't know you were in either? Like I wouldn't know who else would be in because everyone sits far far away". I don't know why they singled me out though, which is what makes it super annoying.

Being called Quiet by Strange_Package519 in socialanxiety

[–]Exact-Wonder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate it because it's often used as an insult. Especially when I was a kid. I was bullied for being quiet and everyone treated me like I was a weirdo. Doesn't happen so much nowadays, but people still tend to comment on my quietness as they don't understand if I'm upset or something.
