TL;DR

Relationship: 
- Co - worker and I

Ages: 
- Her, a female, age 29. 
- Me, a male, age 25

So, today at work, I was speaking with a co-worker and we got to talking and had a pretty good conversation. It wasn’t too deep, but, we went there. 😉 Anyway, I barely ever, if ever, speak up when I’m at work and I was just wondering:

Why do we feel this unsaid unknown feeling at work like we can’t talk or ever discuss anything related to politics, religion, etc. It doesn’t even have to be THAT deep. But still, even for me, sometimes, just surface level talking already feels like too much.

We work in a warehouse and we were sitting down while working on our task, so, we had plenty of time and room to talk, but…

I just don’t know why I have so much fear when I speak and especially when I’m at work. If anything, once we got to talking, I honestly was never going to stop.😆 lol.

That being said, I felt like we were either being ease dropped upon by others around us, or I wasn’t feeling that comfortable to be so open with someone about some things within that moment of time.

Can anyone else relate?
