ParsnipWitch,

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!”

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.

Narcissistic will NEVER give up conceding any irrelevance of their ego.

ntma,

A coworker of mine said something similar. I keyed his car.

OmegaII,

Real big of you. You must be the most confident person ever to do something shitty like that… Just telling the person you didn’t like the comment or the tone it was told to you would’ve sufficed.

257m,

I am like 90% sure the other guy was joking.

Something_Complex,

Or you could try words. Hell be mean, but that feels like an unecessary escalation.

You could have literally said anything, anything. (As long as HR isn’t involved)

beats the shit out of you, steals your wallet, and calls you racial slurs

ohh he’s just flirting that’s how boys flirt

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.

Maybe some case of resting bitch face?

Probably look like a crotchy old man with anger issues. Try smiling.

I’m not paid to smile at my job.

Cool beans. Most people aren’t. They just aren’t insufferable like you.

You would.

Say it with a smile

LemmyIsFantastic,

Nah lol. So much anger. I bet you don’t smile.

seth,

This would be a green flag for me to red flag myself by pusilanimously oversharing.

notapantsday,

Some people just don’t know how to start a conversation and will say anything that comes to their head.

li10,

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

    Just because you’re bad at smalltalk doesn’t mean you’re entitled to mine.

    Why is being bad at smalltalk being selfish? You mistake skill for intent, and that’s pathetic social skill. You shouldn’t be giving anyone advice.

  • force,

    On the contrary, being so entitled that you think you deserve other peoples’ initiation is selfish. You might have the impulse to spout to other people, but a lot of people don’t, and they just do their job. Why isn’t the other coworker rude for not making small talk for 2 weeks? Why isn’t it that the other coworker is only making “small talk” to (insulting) someone else to make themselves feel better?

    Land_Strider,

    Why do you look so mad all the time?

    li10,

    Sure, but it’s still kinda rude and makes people think they’re unfriendly, even if they don’t mean it that way.

    stebo02,
    @stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

    is it really rude to just exist

    rifugee,

    I guess fuck me for being shy, right? How rude and selfish of me to just keep my head down and do my job.

    jigsaw250,

    Same. Outside from a quick hello (and I mean quick) to people I’ve deemed friendly, I’ll only talk if the job I’m doing demands it. I won’t be rude if someone asks me something, but the answer will also be quick and to the point.

    MindSkipperBro12,

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

    Alexstarfire,

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

    meliaesc,

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

    HorseWithNoName,

    I mean, she also apparently hadn’t said anything up to that point.

    Supervisor194,
    @Supervisor194@lemmy.world avatar

    Any girl who would take the initiative to say something like this to a guy is into him. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been vocal about it, she would have just properly avoided him.

    13esq,

    I half agree. It wasn’t the most tactful opener but I do believe she just wanted to talk. Maybe she was in to him, maybe she was just bored.

    Obi,
    @Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Or maybe she’s just Canadian and being polite, it’s really impossible to tell.

    Perfide,

    Except asking why you look angry all the time isn’t remotely polite. Not everything needs to be a reference

    snugglesthefalse,

    I can see the angle where it isn’t meant as something offensive, but yeah it’s not the best question to just leap into as an opener.

    Maalus,

    Pretty sure she wanted an icebreaker to reach a coworker that hasn’t said “hi” yet. Not everything is about “being into someone”, it’d be awful to work for a couple of years with a guy who looks angry all the time and hasn’t said a word to her.

    HorseWithNoName,

    So if she thinks it’s weird that he hasn’t said hi, why wouldn’t she just say “hi”? There’s literally a million other polite and innocuous things to say besides “why do you look angry.” Just the fact that they work together means they have to communicate at some point for their jobs.

    it’d be awful to work for a couple of years with a guy who looks angry all the time and hasn’t said a word to her.

    Who would care? I will never understand why people minding their own business bother other people so much. If she makes the choice to internalize someone else’s demeanor and facial expressions that have absolutely zero to do with her, then that’s her own insecurities coming through and she should probably look up some therapists.

    Maalus,

    So many assumptions over a greentext. I love that you diagnosed a person you have never met, over one sentence.

    Maybe stop doing that.

    Master,

    I think you got it. Time to pull out the the dress fedora and ask er out!

    Huschke,

    Holy shit there are a lot of incels here.

    Anamana, (edited )

    No. It’s just an equivalent to ‘why don’t you smile? You look so beautiful when you do’

    HandBreadedTools,

    You’re just wrong lol. Asking someone why they don’t smile more is fucking patronizing. Asking why someone looks angry all the time is about asking to learn more about them, as they have genuine interest in the person.

    Do you honestly think a woman would ask a man why they look angry all the time if they genuinely believed the man was simply angry?

    Anamana,

    Both can be patronizing.

    Do you honestly think a woman would ask a man why they look angry all the time if they genuinely believed the man was simply angry?

    And yeah, why not?

    Star,
    @Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Absolutely not. Women are people the same way men are. We ask stupid questions that we didn’t think through purely out of curiosity, and then realize how rude it was on the drive home just like you do.

    She may be, but if she is, that’s a godawful opener. I have 0 rizz but something like ‘I like your shoes’ or w/e is never hard to pull.

    roguetrick,

    Why do you though.

    H1jAcK,

    Because I’m angry all the time
