Quiet associate at work that hardly shows any initiative

I don't mean this in a mean way, but I can really tell when I spot one of you at work.

he sounds like a good person trying their best

He's in love with you now. Way to go, dumbass.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. He talks to no one.

this used to be me at work because of a slow decline into major depression. i'm not dumb though, although the depression massively impacted my cognitive abilities at the time.

ya that sounds about right

I would rather be hated than pitied like that, its sad, you probably look down on him too. Thats why my goal in life is to make everyone seethe and im becoming quite good at it

That happens to me as well. I'm rather slow, and can't really do much without my hand being held. I understand everyone's doing it out of pity. I noticed people tend to treat me different to the other employees. I'm not sure if I like that more than the alternative. I feel like a burden to the team with what ever job I get; even if people arn't directly saying so.

i can be either this type of guy who just bumbles around being a useless fuck up and feeling sorry for myself, or a fucking all american hard working son of a gun who shows up punches his card and does his job. its all about serotonin

Yeah. People say mean stuff about him, but never directly to him. They talk to him like he's a kid with mental disabilities. He can't be trusted to handed bigger responsibilities on his own and everyone at work pretty much has to carry him.
