I am 18/F and off course, I am talking about relationships between my other 18/F friend.
I was reading some Reddit posts and came across this comment:
"My coworker will just say a random nice deep she did out of no where! Literally her yesterday “Yea I was at my mother in laws house and just started cleaning up, I just like to help people she keeps telling I need to stop that I already do enough but I needed to help her” 🙄🙄🙄🙄 This was just out of thin air 😂😂 there was no convo before hand she just said this.
Everyone else on our team : “AWWW your such a good person”
😂😂😂 I kid you not this is exactly what happened."
This comment really hit me because I’ve done something similar before. I think the reason that person acted that way was because they wanted to feel closer to their coworkers. They wanted others to see them as a “very nice person,” someone people would want to be close to. So they tried to let others know about the nice things they had done.
I don’t think that person actually had bad intentions. They weren’t trying to be fake on purpose. But the problem is, how would they know how others truly felt about it? Everyone reacted positively—saying things like, “That’s so nice” or “Awww”—so how could that person realize that some people might see it as fake?
So what I want to ask is: what does a person like that need to improve in order to become a genuinely good coworker and friend, and to be seen as a truly good person?
(Sorry for my bad English. English is my second language.)
TL;DR what does a person like that need to improve in order to become a genuinely good coworker and friend, and to be seen as a truly good person?
