@thesashawhitney: Replying to @rdrg.guerra it’s all connected! Even if we wiped away capitalism, even if we brought back every single third space people are complaining about no longer existing, people would STILL struggle in friendship and community because these are the same people who think it’s emotional labor to so much as say “hi” to someone and extending basic kindness and politeness is contingent on if they’re being paid and how much. #capitalism #latestagecapitalism #emotionallabor #community #buildingcommunity #friendship
Social relationships matter—even at work. The social and likeable person will get promoted. The hybrid employee or in office employee will get likely get promoted first… all connected.

someone was saying you shouldn't be friends with any coworkers at all like whaaaat that sounds like a recipe for absolutely despising your job and social isolation.

It’s also getting bad for the friend who is constantly working on sustaining the friendship because there’s only a point where I’m not gonna keep on saying

I'm Audhd and an introvert, but I yap it up with everyone even when I don't feel like it. As a result, I have a scarily large, super supportive community and lots of friends.

RJ aka The Fandom Guy :
I'm pleasant but with boundaries. I share small things about myself with coworkers but make sure I'm not over sharing. We're human, gotta treat people like it. Even if its not in the 3rd space.

I’m very quiet and introverted at work when I’m not teaching but still make time to talk to others. It’s an energy boost for me as long as it doesn’t devolve into gossip and if you need help that’s

I’ve never understood the “I don’t befriend coworkers” concept. How will you survive or get other jobs?

I always speak and have friendly and light hearted conversations at work, nothing too personal. It helps us work together well.

I’ve had so many friendships where no effort was put in. They would constantly cancel, make excuses so they would stop being included and then get upset.

I am a loner and anywhere I go I still try to create community. You can let your neighbors know you’re just a shy girl

This. In my last job, I had a work bestie and I love my team. We had lunch together everyday. I recognize that not everyone has that, but that has made all the difference 🙏🏼
