We started around the same time (her maybe a month before) and she seems intent on proving to me that she knows so many people in the business and she’s really popular.
I’m a couple of years older and I’m friendly and chatty at work but tbh my days of heavily socialising with colleagues is over. I have good friends around me, if I met someone I really clicked with at work then amazing but I’m not actively trying to befriend people.
Once we were in the office together and she (no lie) told me five times throughout the day “oh I must go speak to Jennifer” and then told me “I’m going to go speak to Jennifer” and came back and told me “I’ve just spoken to Jennifer” and told me about their conversation. I have no clue who Jennifer even is 😳
We have a new colleague who’s located at a different office (a good 3 hours away) and the amount of times she tells me how they talk all the time, how they follow each other on social media, things about her life. …. I’m just like good for you?
I really couldn’t care less. I’m happy for her if she has genuine friends at work but it feels like a constant need to tell me this?
