I remember an unfriendly encounter when I was new to the office
5 years ago, when I was new to the office, my senior was very nice to bring me to lunch gathering with other seniors to introduce me to them. One of the women was senior of another department, after my senior introduced me to her and other seniors at the table, she turned to other seniors and said, "when I was younger I did not have people to guide me or teach me".
Maybe I behaved and dressed maturer than my age or my peers that she made such remarks? A sense of jealousy, complaining, unfriendliness from her flooded over me, that I felt that she might think I was a threat to her, despite that it was clearly impossible. She was in the age of my mother, and we were even in different professions.
I want to show that I am friendly but perhaps I am very bad at it, that people don't take it as I intend to , or they just don't care.
People could be hostile.
It was not easy to be young and inexperienced. I did not have the guidance that the hostile senior thought I had. Instead, I have uneducated parents who couldn't teach me anything at school, at work and at socializing. I struggle a lot throughout my life.
I remember when I was a fresh graduate, a very good friend 10 or more years older once said to me, "Now I don't hate these people, I pity them." Now when I get older I can experience and feel her words, a very sound advice to keep peace to ourselves.
