share office with one?
share friends with one?
Normally, you and some of your friends would befriend this person, who will always try to talk her/his own interests and very rarely would let you talk the normal nonsense. But, well, somehow, this person is in most of the social events that you and/or your friends attend. And you begin to think that maybe this person is actually more normal than you think. Maybe you are the weird one.
But then,
this social inept appears to go to every single party, barbacue, and events taking place. Even to those that you are not invited or wouldn't be carelss about. That should have been a sympton of socil ineptness, but you do not care anymore. Then this goes out of control.
One of your friends decides to let a room, in a desperate act, in her house to this social inept. And things begin to go wrong between them and the others living in that house. One by one, all begin to fall....and I am not taking here about birds affected by any avian virus. Just human social ineptness in its best.
Inevitably,
your friends and the social inept have a quarrel. The events taking place at the moment between my friends and the other person should be part of a 'psycho' story for which this is not proper space.
And what matters to me is that,
the social inept is defensive of any 'normal' comment I make in the office.
Obvious solution should be to change office. But, with the fact that this is not am available option, what is one to do?
Yes, there is me in this tiny office, with cramped desks and stuff. And this social inept. Great.
I know that eventually, even if i try my best to avoid meeting with this person, we will be alone in the office. The awkwardness of the idea is quite ugly to me. In this case, the best imagined scenario would be that we ignore each other and live happily ever after. However, when I think that this person is capable of being so emotionally and socially incapable, I truly don't know how this will work out. Because as a normal human being, I am so sure that I will begin to speak, even about the traditional weather, and what if I say something that can be interpreted as 'mean'? I cannot beleive how this has been bothering me, and this is my main point.
In a world where you are expected to become part of the machinery which mostlikely will be exploited for the benefit of a white fat capitalist, the least I expected was to have some kind of basic enjoyment. You know, even pavlovian dogs must have had some. I was hoping to like my working environment, and to meet nice people, who may like to spend time together with and without compromises. Now, I wonder if these social inepts are mass produced by the white fat capitalist just to annoy us and remind us that he has control even over our enjoyments....
Finally, I tried to look for some sort of proper image to attach here, but i truly couldn't think of anything that could even resemble this person and the situation.
