Do people like me at work any more, or is it just the heat?

Post Reply New Topic

For the last week or so I have noticed at work that some of the people I talk to mostly seem a little funny, and I'm unsure if it's because they're pissed off with me, or if it's just the heatwave the UK is currently going through.

I don't work week-ends while most of the others do, and I'm worrying in case that's pissed people off. But they're the hours I was given and it's just one of those things. I do volunteering at a shop both Saturdays and Sundays, so I do busy myself and I've gotten into a routine. But I feel like I've got to give up my volunteering and ask to do week-ends at work, just to get my respect back from my closest colleagues, if that is the case.

But I am hoping that it's just the heat getting to people and that it's nothing to do with me, although I don't remember people being like this last summer when we had a heatwave. I do get paranoid though because I am a likeable person and usually get on with everybody, so it will be a shame to have people getting hostile with me over something like that.

The heat doesn't get to me, I like the heat even at work. It's the cold that I can't deal with, but I still don't go round acting grumpy with people at work because it's not very nice. But at the moment people just seem a bit unsociable and quick to lose their temper, not too noticeably, but just noticeable enough for a sensitive person like me to kind of feel their emotion. I may be Aspie but I can read other people's emotions quite well.

It's just that I'm going through a depressed time as it is, as I have a lot of things on my mind with family, and I don't want to be made to feel bad at work. Is it just the heat getting to people, and so should I take it so personally?

They are probably just in a bad mood because of something collective, or maybe they are just ignorant people.

i will admit to not reading it all, but yes it is probably the heat. it is too too too hot.

I am hoping it's just the heat getting to people, because where I work it's hot enough as it is (it is a care home so everybody is on their feet all the time). I am really hoping it is that, and if it is that then I understand, even though the heat doesn't get to me but I still understand other people's feelings about it. But I'm just hoping people haven't got the hump with me because I can enjoy week-ends ''cooling off in the sun'' while they can't get out of working week-ends. It makes me feel guilty, but I am fed up with putting myself aside to make others happy.

Off-topic here, but I am going to my cousin's wedding next month because I've been invited, but I'm not close to any of them and the last time we had a get-together I tried to make conversation but nobody was interested in talking to me, and I know they won't at this wedding, so I don't know why I'm wasting my time, but I feel bad if I don't go. I just don't know why people get all upset if you don't go to their events, but then don't even notice you when you do bother to go to their events.

But anyway, let's not go off-topic.
