Hi everyone,

Work is such a huge part of our lives and the connections we form there can truly shape our experience. Maybe you’ve found that having a “work bestie” brightens your days or perhaps you’re still searching for that special connection. It’s amazing how having someone who understands you, shares in the daily ups and downs, and makes even the tough days a little easier can make all the difference.

at first i didnt have a work bestie at my job. i didnt think it mattered tbqh - i dont really mind if i didnt have any “friends” at work. i treat my workplace as just that: someplace i need to be to get the work done.

but a few years in my job i was able to make some friends, and somehow found my way to having a work bestie now! i wont lie - work is more fun now that i have someone to gossip and complain with in the office. and all the lunch/coffee dates make going into the office something i look forward to! i truly wasn’t expecting this at first hahaha but i guess having a work bestie can really change your work experience

i totally get what you mean! i was the same way — just focused on getting the job done and not really thinking about making friends at work. but it’s so true, having a work bestie really does change things! it makes the day go by faster and having someone to share those little moments with, like lunch or coffee, definitely makes going into the office more enjoyable. it’s funny how you don’t realise what you’re missing until you have it, right? sounds like you’ve got a great work dynamic now :smiling_face: :blue_heart:

Nope, no work bestie here :smiling_face_with_tear: I used to have one at my old job and it made such a difference :face_holding_back_tears: but now… not so much. It’s kind of sad actually. :sleepy:

I’ve always felt like the odd one out at work. Everyone else seems to have their little groups or someone to grab lunch with but I’m usually just doing my own thing. Tried connecting a few times but it never really clicked so I kind of gave up on it. What if no one in my company is my vibe? What can I do? Work just feels a bit lonelier without someone to vibe with, you know? :melting_face:

hey @Alisya5 It’s definitely tough when you feel like the odd one out at work, especially when others seem to have their groups. It sounds like you really miss that connection, and that’s completely understandable. Maybe the people around you just haven’t been the right match for you yet, and that’s okay. Sometimes it takes a bit of time, or it could be that there are other ways to create meaningful connections, whether it’s through shared interests or even outside of work.

Don’t be too hard on yourself for not clicking with others right away. In the meantime, maybe focusing on doing things that make you feel good or fulfilled outside of work can help make things feel a little less lonely. And hey, feel free to share more here, you’re not alone in this. :blush:
