This Is Acting


Dear Zach,

Ever since I started working for a new company, I became a whole new different person. A person who only talks when time necessary. Or else I would just keep my mouth shut and do my own work at my own table. Ask question when only necessary. Most of the time my mouth is either shut or answering phone calls for work. I avoid talking too much to my colleagues for few reasons: 1) I don't feel like talking to them. As if talking to them in any way would reveal my true colors. 2) I don't want them to know about my personal details. The only detailed I once told was my educational and working background. And that's enough to cover all. 3) I just don't want to talk during working hours, which also leads back to reason 1. I pretend to be cool and highly capable to prove them that I was here to work, and serious about money. I turned down their offer to dinner for few times, partly because I don't really want to hang out with them, mainly because I don't want to skip the gym. I might act like a snob here. But I couldn't be bothered by that. As I said, I am here to work. And I am happy the way it is. I must be out of my mind.

  1. I can sort of relate to this.. To be honest sometimes my workmates can be a bit irritating.. I feel like that they are not very smart.

    1. That's harsh! well, I don't mind them for being not very smart, but I do appreciate that they would stay back their lines. I avoid conversing with them with my personal matters.

  2. As long as you are happy not talking much. I have really learned to compartmentalize, so if I'm out with co-workers, which I have to a lot, they are in one of my compartments called work. Then I have my online/sexuality compartment, and my at home compartment, and other family compartment. Never do the compartments cross. If they do, I'm screwed.

    You will figure out what you want, and how you want it to work. Do it fo ryou.

    1. OH! I think I did it too! That's why I always feel like different kinds of person when I am in different kinds of compartment as you mentioned. It's like I am living in a double life. And I never liked to talk about myself with my co-workers, even if I do I'd just keep it short and simple, and end the conversation.
