I declined of course, but I was surprised to even get the invite. She works with me, and nothing more. Or so I thought. But she is the only one at my work who is kind to me, even when I have the social skills of a... an antisocial person. It’s not that I don’t like to socialize, I just suck at it. Even when I know the “correct responses” to the questions that doesn’t really ask anything in particular, I get nervous and either get too honest or too real with the answers. Most of my co-workers call me (not to my face of course) cold and rude, and since I can see where they are coming from, I haven’t really tried my best to correct my behavior. With that being said, I really do admire her because she is so good at just talking and including people without stepping too much into someone’s space. I always wondered why she kept talking to me when I can’t even talk back naturally, but I think she would’ve talked to anyone. Is that how unjudgmental looks like? I don’t know. But I’ve gotten slightly more used to speaking to her, and to be honest, she is the only person I look forward working with. I don’t dislike everyone else at my work; I just don’t really get along with them? They are all good people; I just don’t know how to be like them? Anyways, she has a high tolerance for my awkwardness and doesn’t really seem to find me cold nor rude. But since she is such a lovely person, I did my best when declining the invitation.

I remember from my past, that sometimes you get the invite not because they wanted to invite you, but just because you happened to be in the close vicinity and not inviting this one out-of-the-place person could seem rude, you know? But this didn’t feel like it. So, after much consideration, I told her pretty much what I wrote above but a summarized version, and she thanked me somehow for my honesty...and said that she would invite just me to a coffee someday... I don’t know if this is just another someday that will never come but...
