Work and Identity
Posted 1st May 2015 at 07:36 by Amara 94
Yesterday the colleague that I bond with went on a holiday. As soon as he left the office, one of my bosses friends/gym buddies came to the office, apparently he is helping us out with work part time now. He invited one colleague to start coming to the gym with him. I have been invited to go gym with the boss before but refused. I'm not anti gym, although I don't want to be going to the gym at the moment. I mainly refused cause I like my own free time, I already work 40 hours a week with him so would rather I had my spare time to myself. Since that colleague accepted approval to the gym I'm feeling some pressure that it would look bad if I refused to go to the gym.
Recently I have made a few threads about my work place that sound so negative, they were most likely problems I admittedly over-exaggerated. My workplace isn't all negative, but sometimes I do honestly dislike it and the environment. But I'm thinking that even if the workplace is very close knitted and stuff it doesn't mean I have zero control in what I do. Maybe part of the problem is that I need to be more of my "real" self at work and be more confident.
This colleague that just left, had been Naked Yoga, didn't go gym, grew his fingernails long apparently for playing guitar yet was still respected in the office and never got questioned for his actions in a negative way, I think it's because he had confidence in his actions.
I feel I need to stop trying to appear perfect and stop trying to fit into the wrong places. Maybe if I expressed what I truly care about I would find people that are more like minded to me. I think this is my main problem, I try to fit in with people who aren't like-minded to me.
