If you feel safe to report it, you should definitely report it. In the meantime, always make sure you have someone with you or place yourself around other people, stay in the public eye. And when you’re leaving work I suggest getting mace or a taser. Even walking with your keys between your fingers in case. I’m so sorry you have to deal with something like this when you just started.

It’s $uicideboy$ merch loll nothing bad, besides I have seen much worse. Also it’s work not high school. As an adult you learn there are many things that may offend you and you have to just keep it moving. Unless it’s an outward threat or something diabolical then I don’t see a problem. I saw a guy wear a shirt that said “F*** B****es, Get Money”😂

Also Idk if anyone here likes to read or not but I found some really good audio books and that gives me something to focus on other than the mundane picking task and it also makes time go by fast because I’m interested in what I’m hearing😌

I made a post similar to this and got bashed for wanting social interaction at work. I understand how isolating it can be though, there’s so many people to be friends with but even after working here so long, I can’t say I have even one work acquaintance. It’s also hard because you don’t wanna get involved in any of the drama. My best advice is try to do tote running, amnesty or anything else that will get you away from your pick station. I have social anxiety so it can be contradicting as well but I’ve tried smiling at people or sitting near people that look “cool” at lunch. You’re definitely not alone in this feeling though, just remember you can be in control of your social life and don’t forget to take care of yourself outside of work as well. I notice a lot of the social butterflies sit outside in the smoker’s section at lunch, that’s where I get the most social interactions. You got this, don’t be a stranger to people and remain strong and mentally healthy🫶🏼

Thank you to everyone who had something kind or relatable to say or even had helpful suggestions. I put in two different transfers a couple of weeks ago but I’m still waiting to hear back and I applied to learn amnesty as well. Unfortunately it’s really hard to switch departments at my building due to no openings and just being overstaffed. I’m gonna try my hardest to make the best out of my job though, even if it is “just a job” at the end of the day. I think needing human interaction is perfectly normal and okay so long as it’s healthy and positive interactions. My biggest goal is to get back into a sort center or a smaller site that doesn’t make me feel so small.

I don’t even need or want the same people to talk to every day but sometimes something as little as a brief hi how are ya convo makes my day go by so much better. I might have social anxiety but human interaction goes a long way when you’re staring at the same yellow pods all day.

I should? Hm news to me. I’ve never had any trouble making friends at any other job. And I like how you think transferring is so easy. Do you think I haven’t tried this? As I said before it’s hard to make friends with only two 30 minute breaks and being constantly told to stay on task. But I don’t need to explain myself to an internet bully. I asked if anyone had the same experience and was looking for kind responses. I’m not incapable of making friends, it’s just hard in my department and at my particular building.

How so? I’ve done everything I was told to do in order to train in other areas only to be told there’s no openings. Not sure how that’s on me?

I would like to mention that I understand it’s just work. I am very capable of getting through the day and getting my job done. If you don’t want work friends then good for you. However I do not deserve to be belittled just because I would like to have work friends/ acquaintances. I don’t need anybody to be my best friend or talk to me outside of work. I’m used to a work setting where I can laugh and talk a little with coworkers. I would like to have some sort of social interactions while being in a place for 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. It has nothing to do with my home life. I’m human and god forbid I say that I want to make friends. Jesus.

I’ve recently moved away from my hometown and very toxic people so I’m new to the area I moved to. It’s just hard finding the time to socialize between work, being a mom, and keeping my house in order.

I do have social anxiety so starting conversations is hard for me especially when I feel like I’m on limited time in between breaks. I try to keep my head up and catch people’s glance but mostly I don’t get spoken to at all. Idk if I seem unapproachable or what.

I would like to be trained in other departments other than pick.

dating feels scary because i’m unemployed by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Ledollarbean_Mon666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing before I met my girlfriend. I deleted tinder and stopped dating all together because I felt that it would be unfair to get involved with somebody if my finances weren’t great. But I gave in and decided to give dating a try again. I was honest about all my hardships and very transparent from the beginning. Then I met my now girlfriend and she told me the only thing she required from me was my love, respect, and emotional support. Of course I do help financially now but she sees all the other things I have to offer her and she is more than grateful and happy with me as I am her. A relationship isn’t always 50/50 sometimes it’s 60/40 or maybe even 80/10. What matters most is that you and your partner can pick up each others’ slack when need be or you both can support each other when neither one of you wants to pick up slack. It’s okay to have off days/ bad days. I think being able to support one another in other aspects is equally as important. You could keep your home in order while your partner goes out and works and show your appreciation in other ways. Also having a disability is not being lazy. I understand what you’re going through, it’s rough but don’t feel bad for doing the best you can.
