I’m an introvert and a loner at work by choice. I prefer to keep to myself bc I hear the gossiping that goes on when you get too friendly I just don’t want anything to do with it.
I also can’t stand small talk and prefer deeper 1:1 conversations with persons I trust and am close with.
Monday morning I arrive to the office and everyone is loudly talking about the sports games from the weekend and I’m trying to settle in and just want some peace and quiet to continue mentally preparing for the day.
But the chatter, laughter, and banter continues and it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Sensory issues? Idk.
Can anyone else relate?
