Got a pm asking for one of me stories so I'll go ahead and post it here. At my last job, a new coworker showed up who I thought nothing of at first, until one time I saw her crying in the break room. This dropped my guard and I started talking to her, a big mistake I'll soon learn. We were just acquaintances at best, yet she did like fooling around psychically. I thought this was weird, but didn't think anything more about it like the fool that I am.
Later on it happened. Unfortunately I don't remember what set her off (probably cause of how insignificant it was), perhaps I bumped into her by accident or something, but regardless she suddenly started wildly and angrily throwing fist at me. I had no time to think before reflex had me send out my fist, but I did stop myself as I'm not gonna beat up a woman even if she deserves it. Coworkers stopped her and that was the end of that job.
Now you could say that I was defending myself and that it was the natural and expected reaction anyone would have, but I consider myself lucky it wasn't worse given that it was man vs. woman. Dunno if she got fired as well, only that she lied about what happened to management, but eh I honestly don't care. More concerning is that this makes two jobs in a row that I left on bad terms, highly doubt anyone would hire me now.
So lesson learned? Open up to people and you'll get fired for it lol. Hopefully this'll give some of yal some perspective as to why it's so hard for me to reach out despite wanting to.

LD, here's my 2 cents.....Take up drinking, hell it works for me. And besides, your only 25. You got your whole life ahead of you. Things will work out fine over time, trust me.
