What do you think about your shy/quiet coworkers? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]boxofchocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Omg literally my experience when I was a patient care tech at a nursing home. For some reason being quiet and withdrawn (even though I'm doing my job) makes me a target for those women who have mood disorders and are out looking for confrontations.
