If you walk around work looking mad all the time people think you’re busy and leave you alone. Win win.

Also, from my from my time as a mechanic in the industry: Always carry a caliper. Nobody's going to stop you, you're obviously going places that have problems.

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.

maybe they're introverted and want to avoid small talk? can't blame them

Or maybe they have no opportunity to interact with the new coworker.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She took an opportunity to walk by, OP could have done that on the first day.

Maybe because I don’t have to meet and greet every person in the building?

Because I'm angry all the time

[–] fauxerious@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

some people are just really good at masking

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Maybe some case of resting bitch face?

[–] sverit@feddit.de 19 points 1 year ago

"I hate it here"

You are supposed to say why do you look so sexy all the time you creeper

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

I think they just both have different types of autism

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!"
