I’m so jealous of people that manage to make friends with big cats. I find it fascinating.
On the one hand I’d love to have a lion friend that I can roll around with, have japes and hijinx, and all round be baddass with. On the other hand, I’d like to be alive.
Do you work somewhere where you can escape for an hour over lunch, perhaps? Like go to the gym or something? Out of sight out of mind.
I totally get the feeling of being mobbed, but to be honest find a way to cope with it at work. A lot of work places are by definition social places so it’s going to be really hard avoiding interactions all the time. Maybe go for a walk with a podcast or something?
Good luck 🤞.
