Coworkers always cry out of no where when I work with them.

It’s always awkward, because it’s usually my first time meeting them. The woman I was working with tonight mentioned how she use to be a teacher, and then it some how went to her mom dying a few years back, and then her getting a divorce, and a whole bunch of other personal stuff. 😬 it’s out of no where they start telling me a whole bunch of personal stuff when first meeting them, and then they start crying 😬😬😬. I always try to look sympathetic, but I can’t relate to any of their situations like divorce so I’m just like “....that sucks”


Definitely a way to make an awkward person even more awkward around you. Lol
Are they white. Not to be rude but i get this a lot with white women. i thought it was just a cultural thing to be dumping personal info on strangers & crying all the time😬

Remind her that the workplace isn't a counselling service
@BeefySenpie 😅 you’re so harsh beefy
@Stark I made a promise on @SW-User post to not censor myself, so I should stick to that for at least 24 hours 😈

They are drawn to your energy. You should see the complete strangers that approach me with crazy secrets when I'm out and about.

It is an uncomfortable compliment. 😨

@Stark I'm telling ya. I plan extra time for shit like this all the time 😅
@Peaceful that’s too exhausting.
Peaceful · F
@Stark it is. But it's happened for so long, I plan for it.

Stop looking sympathetic!!! People really have no right to do that to others it's selfish

Yep. Find this a lot in the caring professions.
You rock up to work; keep your head down and crack on and the person assigned to work with you decides you're the guy they need to offload on.

I just pat their head
Some people just want someone to listen to them. You seem like a good listener with compassion. But after you listen to them, steer the conversation to something pleasant.

[i][c=#BF0080]That must be exhausting 😩[/c][/i]
@MellyMel22 I’m just shocked every single time it happens, and I never know what to do about it. I just feel bad for not knowing what to say and for how shitty their life is. 😂

@Stark [i][c=#BF0080]Well they opened themselves up to it, but they may just be good opening up and letting it out 😆[/c][/i]
