R.e feeling lonely in my new job

Post Reply New Topic

I started my new job a couple of weeks ago i tryed talking to a couple of my colleagues but feel they just dont feel confortable around me and i asked to join them for lunch a couple of times but just feel they dont want me around when i asked they said i could come but they hesitated and said they were just going poundland and werent doing much. Also they constantly change the times they have lunch so i never know what days or times i should ask to join them. I havent really spoke to anyone for a couple of days due to anxiety and confusion not understanding the social rules and worried about them thinking i weird and how i should make friends in the workplace and act socially.

Thanks for reading any advice would be appreciated

I am not great at advice, but I can feel for you. Part of me wants to be part of the work lunch crowd, but I don't want to socialize that much. I admire you for being so brave as to ask if you could have lunch with them.
