My coworkers don’t like me because I’m quiet?

[Anonymous]

I’m a pretty quiet person I like to stay to myself anyone that knows me would describe me as a quiet person. I have worked from home for the last four years I’m a very introverted person and I have bad anxiety so I decided to get a on site job just to get out the house More. I started a job 3 weeks ago I’m still getting used to it but I noticed my coworkers don’t really like me because I’m quiet

A few days ago, one of my male coworkers came up to me while we were clocking out and asked me. Why am I so quiet? Am I crazy
I laughed it off and told him no I’m not crazy I told my friend about the conversation he said he was basically calling me weird. ever since that day some of the other coworkers that are on his floor have been giving me a strange looks.

I respond to people when they ask me questions and I make it a point to smile while responding to their questions and I also start conversations if they have something to do with the job but other than that, I don’t socialize with my coworkers.

And also, I am working on a floor by myself right now my other coworkers they are on separate floors working around multiple other people so I only see them for about 10 to 15 minutes while we’re clocking in and out

I really can’t help that I’m just naturally quiet. I never speak unless I have something to say I have always been like this Why don’t my coworkers like me because I’m quiet I’m not a mean person I have never been rude to anybody at this job. I’m very helpful when I can be. I don’t understand why they have an issue with me for absolutely no reason.

so? the more you care and obssess and have time to think about it the worse you will feel when you realize that there opinions of you are only that you will feel better truth is your you why should you change for them. in short dont lower your standards for them make them upgrade there standards to fit yours and if they can't then they dont know how special you probably are

There are two ways to go with this. You try to be more outgoing and try to make friends with people or else you can just keep your head down, do your job and ignore all the background noise.

I bet when people get to know you they will like you.

[AI Opinion]

It's understandable to feel uneasy when adjusting to a new social environment, especially if you're naturally quiet and introverted. Being quiet isn't inherently negative; it's simply your way of expressing yourself. To foster better relations, you might consider small, genuine interactions, like greeting colleagues or participating in light, casual conversations when comfortable. This gradual approach can help colleagues understand and appreciate your demeanor. Remember, it's okay to be yourself. Over time, your coworkers will likely come to know your helpful and kind nature, leading to improved relationships. Keep being patient with yourself and them.

That wasn't a question. You know they dont like quiet people because quiet people are weird and usually gay. Its best to be unemployed, i dwell in my moms basement and im thankful that she lets me stay and feeds me once a day
