Wait until these "friends" go behind you and betray you. Wait until you find out that everything you have told them in confidence has been repeated to everyone else, and that they are making fun of you. Wait until you find out they are spreading rumors about you to the boss, to try to get you fired. THIS is what happens in the majority of workplace "friendships." That, or the second you leave, POOF you no longer exist, and you find out this person didn't care about you at all to begin with.

I really don't like the attitude and tone of this rant. It's one thing to have a differing opinion, it's another to act like you are right, everyone else is wrong, and to blame people who have been burned for having the negative opinion that they do. It's like screaming from the rooftops that some risky ass shit is safe because nothing happened when you did it. There's a reason most advise against workplace "friendships."

At my job there is this wimpy little smug shit. He kind of kisses ass, kind of tries to fraternize. He tells the childish acting people who he has crushes on, which seems to be every fucking female there just about. He tells them, and these people make fun of him behind his back. They encourage him to ask these girls out, knowing they'd reject him, and thinking it'd be funny to witness it. Is that a friendship?

Is it a smart idea to tell people you really don't know, personal things? Should I go into work and tell people about my shitty upbringing, chaotic first jobs, or how the closest thing I've had to a relationship was an on off situation with some bitch who broke my heart, along with some mostly awkward online dates? NO. That is my life and personal information. I go into work, do my work, make smalltalk about work related shit or the weather if initiated, and then leave.

If anyone knew any of what I said, you better fucking believe it'd be gossiped.

I imagine we are all going to be casual talking points for people living in some Star Trek: The Next Generation utopian future. Here we are suffering, going through real painful shit, and people hundereds of years from now are talking about us like we are a fun curiosity or some kind of intellectal puzzle, and they never had to face real hardship themselves.

And to those hypothetical future people: Give this command to the replicator in the room you are in, word for word:

"Computer: replicate 20 unpinned live grenades"

Don't move away from the replicator.

"At my job there is this wimpy little smug shit. He kind of kisses ass, kind of tries to fraternize."

Something tells me that guy didn't ace the high school socialsphere. In fact, I imagine he was a bit of a creep and all the girls rejected him, and the jocks threatened him with physical harm if he didn't stop. I don't know the guy but this is what I'm imagining.

" He tells the childish acting people who he has crushes on, which seems to be every fucking female there just about. He tells them, and these people make fun of him behind his back"

I would be trying to look for and apply to the grown up workplaces. Sounds very bad where you are at, but of course I'm only talking about what *I* would do. I have no tolerance for base primal behavior (let's call their actions what they really are).

My current workplace is the most adult place I've ever worked at. It's not too bad, aside from the childish acting people, and I don't see most of them staying much longer.

The guy who has a crush on almost every girl there. He is a creep. There is no way I can believe he was ever popular with the ladies when in high school. He's not now. He's perceived as a thin-skinned chatterbox, who really can't handle much. He kind of resents the other guys, because he thinks they've all got it together.

I think his fixation on having a girlfriend probably stems from some sort of deep seeded insecurity, from how he was perceived in school. Like if he could get with one of the pretty girls at this job and show her off, then that means he is cool and whole. Stupid shit.

One of the gossipy people will likely "let it slip" to the girls that he has a crush and is talking about them. I don't think he has ever asked anyone out ever. So, it'll likely be someone letting the info out, and then it becoming so awkward that either he or them quit.

I like the Star Trek TNG analogy. 100 years from now it'll probably be seen as a common fact that social media is useless and detrimental to people and society. It'll be more of an anomaly of why and how so many grown adults willingly choose to live on their Playstation or Smartphones, and why people continue to watch season after season of reality shows that are all the same. It's like this shit exists, only to capture the weak minded and easily manipulated.
