Yeah, that is a lesson I have now learnt the hard way. About getting too close to a co-worker, because in the end it just worked out badly for both.

I am going to be transferring soon and I am afraid of how I should approach my new co-workers. The bigger part of me is starting to think that keeping my distance will probably best, so as not to get burned again. I think what makes situations problematic for me ARE the issues I have, because not everyone is willing to try and understand you. Most people just want to judge you based on what they know is true for them, and not necessarily what is outside their reality. That is very unfortunate because some of us really do want to fit in despite our problems, and want to feel like there is some place of refuge inside the workplace, which of course means, having a good friend.
