      Sure, but it’s still kinda rude and makes people think they’re unfriendly, even if they don’t mean it that way.

          I guess fuck me for being shy, right? How rude and selfish of me to just keep my head down and do my job.

            Same. Outside from a quick hello (and I mean quick) to people I’ve deemed friendly, I’ll only talk if the job I’m doing demands it. I won’t be rude if someone asks me something, but the answer will also be quick and to the point.

            Why is being bad at smalltalk being selfish? You mistake skill for intent, and that’s pathetic social skill. You shouldn’t be giving anyone advice.

                On the contrary, being so entitled that you think you deserve other peoples’ initiation is selfish. You might have the impulse to spout to other people, but a lot of people don’t, and they just do their job. Why isn’t the other coworker rude for not making small talk for 2 weeks? Why isn’t it that the other coworker is only making “small talk” to (insulting) someone else to make themselves feel better?
