so I am like the most boring person at work you'd ever meet, yet so many people find me sitting at my desk minding my own business highly entertaining.  ????  examples of why I think this... so two random workers will walk by look at me, especially if I am engrossed in my work, then look at each other and one will whisper "did you see that?" after they pass.  did you see what? me sitting at my desk working on my computer?  I mean are my eyes crossed? do I have a pencil stuck in my head? what? I mean if I am your source of entertainment,  YOU ARE DESPERATE and you need to get yourself a life.

I guess the big question is what is meant by 'that'. If you suspect it is something about you, maybe you could ask them what is so 'interesting' to them.

Seems like you are way too concerned with what others think of you....

Hey WW, lots of bullying goes on in workplaces, especially when a couple of folks have time to walk around not working, but bonding through being mean. You are above them. Lots of folks do not like anyone with a good work ethic. Have experienced the same. Comforting hugs.

WanderingVet, hey, yes that is good advice, and Yard Eggs, um, well we all have our opinions, maybe you were just having a bad day and needed to blast somebody, hopefully you're not this critical of people seeking support here everyday. Simpsons, YES, EXACTLY. and also this was more of a casual observation and sort of question as too WTF than tearful and fretful moment, I do have those moments too, but this particular post was not one of those horrible moments. thanks to all who replied.

ww, I was just thinking the same thing.

But getting back to your post. Perhaps they recognize you as someone who gets things done and may actually fear you. Or I guess you could be a knockout and like many workplaces, people want your attention.

@WhatsWrong19,

Maybe Eleanor Roosevelt was "just having a bad day and needed to blast somebody" when she said "You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought of you if you knew how seldom they did."
