Double Standard

[thesummerqueen]

From my experience if all you do at work is talk about work and only work. That has very negative affects on productivity, I work for engineering firm as the IT department technician. I can tell you if I did not randomly talk about other things besidies work I would go postal.

I would not worry myself over them not talking to me. Of course, being antisocial to a major degree, it would not affect me as it obviously affects others. Some people need attention from those around them, but one should never base her self worth on whether others include or exclude.

Blade, I know you addressed it later, but both of you sort of missed the point with your responses:

She's not worried about self-worth or the content of conversation necessarily - merely being able to get her job done, which can't be done if people don't respond.
