Kinda sad and upset today.

I don’t really have much social interaction in life. Aside from my family, the only people I really talk to are the two other IT associates in the company I work for. But today, one of them got fired.

It hit me hard. We were already becoming friends. He’s bubbly, always had that positive energy, and even after getting let go, he was smiling and saying it’s okay. I don’t know if he’s really fine or just coping by acting strong.

What hurts is… I felt that loss. Like losing a friend. It may not seem like much to others, especially since the other associate didn’t seem affected at all - maybe he’s used to stuff like this. But me? I felt it.

I barely connect with people, so when I do, it means a lot. Even short bonds feel deep when you don’t have many. Just wanted to let this out.
