I went to an after-work gathering...
Surprisingly, I was a bit nervous before going and I guess I'm glad I went. I got entangled in a few conversations Someone asked me what I was working on and I gave a brief update on a project I am working on. I guess it sounded rehearsed and non-conversational because one guy who works in my same department jokingly said, "You go, girl." And everyone laughed. I didn't think it was funny and he said, "lighten up."
The flat-chested girl who I have become somewhat friends with, put her hand on my shoulder which annoyed me. But I just stood there and the conversation moved on. When we were done, the asshole guy smiled and said, "Good to see you, big guy." I just turned and walked away.
They're all mostly nice people who work hard but they all seem to be part of a collective culture I guess you can say and I don't really feel like I fit in with that. The thing is that I don't really do great at social functions. It could be the people but mostly I just stand there because I don't work well at those types of gatherings because most of the time, I'm just standing around looking to see if I can talk to someone. But it's fine... it's whatever. It's weird because I realize I'm different from all of them. I don't know how much I could possibly have in common with them. But maybe I shouldn't think that way. Except on a higher level, I can't really relate to these people... and maybe that's why I left early. It's weird to think about.
