See...everyone talks to me but they will go out to lunch without inviting me and then discuss it when they get back. I know it isn't done intentionally (the talking about lunch) but I think the thing is is that I "just don't fit in." I am dreadfully SHY until you get to know my strange sense of humor and I think all they see is this little good girl?!?! I just can't joke with someone until I feel truly comfortable with that peson--I've always had problems with caring what others think of me and until I'm comfortable with you, I have to gauge that person to figure out where their boundaries are.

I work in an office of three other males; two of them are really chummy with some of the other females in the lab but they don't joke around with me like they do them. I just sort of figured today that I need to get out and make friends outside of the work place because I doubt I'll ever be best friends with any of these people...oh well.
