The thing that triggered an anxiety attack:

Saw two coworkers strolling side by side at work. The sight really hit me....the fact that they get along....the fact that they are at least a bit well liked enough to be able to publically display that they are "work friends".
No one likes to talk to me when other co-workers are around. They better not be caught talking to me. Because it's against the unspoken rules. Everyone must abide by it. Talking to me will turn them into a laughingstock as well. They'll be teased about it forever. It will become sort of a stain on their professional image.

How do I always end up like this.....

I wish I was someone else.

I feel for you. Can I share some quotes?

“Don’t wish it were easier. Wish you were better.” - Jim Rohn

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.“ - Phillip Brooks

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” - Bruce Lee

You see, these quotes all have the same meaning that we should better ourselves, rather than wishing our lives were easier. This is in response of you saying you wish you were somebody else.

If you can’t change what’s around you, you can most definitely change what you do and how you feel. You’re there to make money, not to make friends. Rather, the goal should be focused on how to do even better at your job to maybe get a promotion or a raise. Besides, coworkers are usually snakes and don’t make good company. If I can offer an advice, it’s to focus on improving yourself, like your image. That way, people would respect you, not see you as some unspoken rule.

@SW-User if only it were that easy.

@assemblingaknob life isn’t easy. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be having all the problems that we do. As long as there’s light at the end of the tunnel..
