I work on an estate. There are 9 of us. We all work separately. We have 20 mins for morning break and an hour for lunch. We have a lunch room with a table and chairs, a kettle and microwave. At break and lunch 4 people drive home, 3 people sit in their cars and 1 guy makes his tea then grabs a chair and goes to the room next door and sits on his own. That leaves just me sat there on my own.
It's so frustrating because I just don't understand their mentality. At break-time they want to spend 5 mins driving home 10 mins sitting alone at home staring at the ceiling , while their family are at work and school, then spend 5 mins driving back. My mentality is I might as well stay and talk. Why not? And I need to talk and have human contact for my own mental health. They obviously don't for some strange reason.
On the rare occasion that I am working with 1 of the guys and we have to take a half hour trip into town to get supplies, they just sit there not talking. I try to make an effort but they just don't want to talk. I wish they would ask 'How was your weekend?' or something. Anything.
I feel I have so much to say like all the stuff I got up to at the weekend but I never get the chance to say it.
It's not just at work. One time I went on an hour long train ride. I met a girl at the station that I knew. I sat next to her and for the whole hour she said nothing. NOTHING. Absolutely bugger all. And I was sat their getting so frustrated because I was bursting to talk but she wouldn't say a word. I just cant fathom why people are like this. Why wouldn't you want to talk to someone who is sat next to you for a whole hour? Make conversation? Pass the time? OK some people wont want to talk 100% of time I get it. But say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRRR!!! I just don't understand why people are that way.
This is really bothering me and it's so depressing that this is the way the world is. What can I do?
