When I go to work I find it difficult to greet my coworkers when they're talking, and my coworkers talk a lot. I don't want to disturb them, so I don't say anything and let them speak. After that I don't find it necessary to greet them, because we've already seen each other. I don't do it to troll them or because I hate them and it baffles me that people can take that personally and feel attacked.

Another thing I don't understand is why people cannot simply work fast and then relax and talk. I do that and my pauses are longer. I don't understand why people prefer to work a bit and then gossip. I find that very tiring. I need structure.

Coworkers think I'm a loner, nothing wrong with that, I like being alone, but sometimes I wonder if I'm a bit autistic.

Leaving my current position is not feasible, it would mean taking a considerable pay cut.

I don't want to pretend something I'm not. I don't drink alcohol or coffee and don't smoke. I'm not gonna start doing that just to be a bit more popular.

I just walk in and say 'Good Morning' in passing, no need for an answer or waiting for them to stop talking. Then I go settle in for the work and if they want to chat they will probably talk to you then. If you were there first I guess you can take the initiative.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
