Thank you for checking out my channel - that already made my day. And I’m glad your comment grew into a full post; it was insightful and I appreciated reading the longer version. Deep down, I do want to build great friendships with colleagues. Back in the day, I had solid friends from work, but a lot happened in life that made me lose my bearings, and now I have trust issues. I swear I don’t want to be this way, but you know… I’m a still work in progress...
Thanks again for the thoughtful reply. Wishing you a peaceful weekend too. 🙏
Not to worry being in work-in-progress situation. Everybody has something that is work-in-progress. My work-in-progress includes a lot, including being less 'aggressive' towards people I have impatience with. The set of such people isn't small, especially in the office. Anyways, njoy this Sunday (evening for you I suppose).
idk you're anything but aggressive haha. Thanks!
One can be aggressive in many ways. In the office I can be hard with words, without the need for a loud voice. The latter also happens when I get truly agitated. In private life I have such much less. Perhaps part of the role I play? Or maybe I play a role in private life as well? A long-debated topic when I reflect on myself, but still not 100% sure about the answer. Though I tend to think it is an office role attribute while in private life it is my 'original' character, whatever original is, since also that can be debated.
