They’re not mad that you’re talking about yourself, they’re mad that you’re talking. Yourself happens to be the subject you lean towards when you don’t know what to talk about. This goes for both men and women - if they’re giving you the bare minimum, they don’t want to talk at all. Stop trying to force the conversation.
You definitely know your life better than I know your life, and you definitely said what you said. But if you ACTUALLY knew what’s going on with your coworkers, you wouldn’t have posed this question on a public forum seeking advice/affirmation. They don’t want to talk at the moment, leave them alone
right before I made this post I was talking to one of said men. and I ASKED if I could talk about myself again and he was like “please, continue.” so I was. and then he out of nowhere went from a full conversation to just replying “great. amazing. cool” so I was like “okay you’re clearly over this conversation” and he was like “yeah I’m kinda bored. goodnight” like ??? then maybe come up with something to talk about. it doesn’t always have to be me
we’d been in the “talking stage” for like a week. had been having a great conversation up to that point. I just immediately blocked him after he said that bc I don’t have time for a grown man to pout bc I didn’t hold his hand and help him change the topic to whatever he wanted to talk about
you sound like someone who can’t communicate if you think being dry is better than communicating that you aren’t in the mood to chat at the moment. also the fact that you just made up details about my life that aren’t true shows you’re more in your head than actually listening and having a conversation. you AND him are people I don’t want in my life. I want adults who act like adults in my life.
you’re just gonna pretend like you didn’t add the fake detail that it was my co workers ?? when it’s literally right there for everyone to see. or how you keep doubling down on “well he just didn’t want to talk to you in that moment” as if I wasn’t there experiencing it myself and I’m the one that knows him, not you. you better hope you’re pretty bc your brains aren’t getting you anywhere. don’t waste my time again, I’ll just block you, as I do with all stupid people clearly
