not sure if this is the right place to say this, and forgive me if it isn’t!
all other aspects of my job is easy (kinda, when it’s not holiday season and we aren’t understaffed) – except for one thing that may seem silly.
i’m 21, living in a brand new state with my husband of 2 years. i am not currently taking classes anymore. it’s extremely difficult to make friends especially now, i’ve made a couple friends here and there but that was spread out over a period of months and we hardly ever get to hangout because of work, school etc.
i think most of feeling bad stems from majority of my friends back home being in college and not having the responsibility of a job. they get to go out every weekend partying and go out to cute brunches everyday blah blah it just makes me feel bad because i have no friends here and all i do everyday is work.
i just recently trained a new member of my team and she is SO COOL! she’s my age and all i want to do is ask for her number to hangout sometime – but i remember i’m her MANAGER and that is crossing serious professional lines which could definitely get me fired if my higher ups found out. this happens to me all the time and i’m soooooo sick of it.
there have been countless people i can think of that i would absolutely love to be friends with but i can’t. i feel like i’m keeping a big secret and it’s not even that serious. can anyone else relate?
