>>16383280>it will just be me asking about them and they'll get bored i'm surePeople love talking about themselves. As long as you don't give them 50 questions, maybe ask one or two relevant thing, they won't mind. It's a minor way to bond.
>>16383288>did you speak to coworkers mainly?Yes. I worked two different jobs, and the first was around a bunch of low-class, trashy people. I didn't know how to connect with them, so I just asked them questions and let them go on and on. If I could make a joke, help them vent, or allow them to feel justified in a situation, I would. They warmed up to me.
I'm at a much better job now, and while I was still initially awkward and shy, the people there love my work ethic and silliness.
>were they interested in speaking to you, even though you were sometimes awkward?Initially, no. If you don't make it seem like you're interested in being friendly, they're not going to put effort into you either.
>i feel like, i've already given my first impression to coworkers as being shy and it's going to be hard to correct itFirst impressions can be corrected with effort. It just takes time.
