My coworker pretended to be my friend for months and I finally found out why
“When I started at my current job, one coworker immediately took me under his wing. We’d eat lunch together, he’d invite me to grab coffee, ask about my weekend, remember little details about my life. Honestly, it was nice because I’m not the most social person and making friends at work has never come naturally to me.
Over the next few months he became the person I talked to the most in the office. If there was office gossip, he’d know it. If I was frustrated about something, I’d vent to him. I genuinely thought we’d stay friends even if one of us left the company someday.
A few weeks ago I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and another coworker. They didn’t know I was nearby. The other guy joked that my coworker must be upset because “his source is getting promoted.” My coworker laughed and said something like, “Yeah, now I’ll have to start all over with someone else.”
