I'm sure I'm pretty much a mystery to my coworkers. They act like they expect me to jump down their throats, to condemn them for everything they're doing wrong in their lives. But that's not my job
One of the coolest things that's ever happened to me was when I had a friend tell me that when we met, she was really nervous about telling me anything about herself or her life because she expected to be judged and she was really surprised and glad to find that I didn't do that.
This isn't to pat myself on the back. I was just so grateful that I could be that person for however long, because sadly there may not be another. So, keep doing what you're doing with your co-workers, Jess. No matter what anyone else has to say, you're being what they need, even if it's just a little.
