Why does the success in corp world come with manipulations, selfish moves, being mean. Why cant colleagues be friends and humans? I dont really know and trust most people who work in the same place.
But this is really sad as we all spend most of our waking hours at work. I see the people I work with weilding daggers at each other's backs - everyone has a plan of action and game to play.
But I dont think I can be a part of this crazy culture which makes me turn inhuman. People might see me as not-so-open and a bit to myself, but in fact I dont connect to them. I dont like them and I dont want to talk to such people. I am uncomfortable around them.
One can conform to what other people expect, or you can go on doing what you think is right. Actually, to come to think of it, I have always been like this. Maybe thats why I havent had tonnes of friends.... But the ones I have are the ones that made me what I am....
