I will admit there are very few people that I can relate with at work. I always offer a listening ear but never really feel comfortable enough to interact with most unless necessary
My students always come away surprised by just how excited I get to talk to them about their lives and goals, and not just the homework questions they have. Now I'm wondering if that's because I'm lonely at work and this is my small opportunity for social interaction during the day.

That makes two of us! I wonder what the correlation between substack writers and work loneliness? I mean aren't we just looking for a community?
