(+) Yeah! (+)

This is a weird question but Im starting to become curious. Ive been at this job for 5 years. Some people Ive worked with for just as long. However, it feels like many people.,. fear me? I guess? Maybe they are really careful not to make me mad?

I am a very quiet person. Ill talk to you if you talk to me or if I need something from you. Outside of that? Thats about it. Its rare that I start up a conversation. I think Im a very chill person. I mind my business and do my job. However, many times people seem to be on edge when talking to me.

It really shows when I go to ask a question about work. Its like they are afraid of screwing up or something like there will be consequences. Even people above me act like that. Like Im some ticking time bomb waiting to blow up. People over explain questions I have and seem super nervous about it. This is even h the case for people Ive worked with for years.

Hell, I can screw up and my boss seems to be scared to call me out on it. Sometimes I have a dumb habit of being late to work. I know I need to do better but no one says anything while I eventually fix it. However, others will get called out for less.

I dont get it. I dont know if its because Im quiet, Im unreadable or something else. It isnt a real problem for me but Im starting to get really curious about it.
