Sometimes I do not like being a shy introvert. I like spending time by myself but I yearn for friends just like anyone else. I can sit back and see other new hires making friends and creating bonds with each other. But I still find myself wondering why no one wants to talk to me or get to know me. When I was at my other jobs, everyone was friendly and wanted to get to know who you are. But here, everyone seems to stick with their cliques and are not open to meeting others. Maybe because those companies are smaller. The place I work is a huge company and it is very easy to get lost in the mix.

I'm not sure how to approach people at work because I don't know what to say. I'm not sure how to open a conversation or keep it going long enough to be interesting. Which is weird because at my other jobs, I had no problem with that.

The managers here are supposed to be open, I mean, where do they find these people? I shouldn't blame them. It is my fault that I can't make any friends. It is a little difficult making friends as a cashier when I'm on a register the whole time. It seems to be easier to make friends when being on the sales floor because it is a little slower and it is not just you by yourself. I am sitting here wondering how these people are bonding if they are working the whole time. Hopefully, I will open up (especially to managers) soon and figure out how to get to know these people. It will make the job that much easier.
