I always felt misplaced, that I don't belong here, that I'm not normal for not beieng social and there is something wrong with me. I have social anxiety. But I'm not alone anymore...
There is someone at work, he looks very nervous and insecure. He don't talk to anyone. And not anyone talks to him. One of the leaders told me that he had worked there for 4 years! I'm shocked at how ignorant all the others are. They don't say hi to him, or don't seem to care at all. Atleast it would be nice if they said "hi" to him. It's like he's invisible to the others there.
have started to say hi to him. First time he didnt reply. Next time he did reply, but very careful and low.
I also say bye to him when he leaves. He always says bye back to me. On monday there where several people standing there, including one of the leaders. When he passed me I said bye to him and he responded. The others did not say anything.
We work together and do some deliveries. I find it very relaxing to sit in the car with him. When driving with others, they will expect me to talk, but with him I don't have to talk. And also he is the best driver in the world...
When we deliver he sometimes says a few words to me. He's voice is really dark, but he seems very nice. He seems to be very shy to talk to strangers, and sometimes he just stading there saying nothing when we are about to deliver and I have to do the talking part. It's not a problem for me though.
I really want to ask him to eat lunch with me one day. He never eats at the work place, but leaves during lunch. It would be so nice to see him in lunch. But I understand that it will be hard for him, eating with the others coworkers.
I always sits alone there, since I don't feel accepted. It would be nice to just sit with him. We don't have to talk. We could just sit together.
I'm not sure how to ask him to have lunch with him. I don't want to scare him. If I ask him, I might put him in a difficult situation, since he probaly wont eat lunch with me, but at the same time he can't say no. What do you think?
I also want to tell him that I like him, and thinks he is a nice person and doing a very good job. But my anxiety stops me...
