I might make myself look stupid and embarrassed at my new job tomorrow, but I am going to do whatever it takes to save a life.

I recently started at a very big factory where, if I’m lucky, I get to see 10 more people a day. I am the only woman on the team and I am the youngest person by a significant amount. I’ve come to learn that there is a guy I’ve seen on a few occasions but I have not gotten a chance to talk to him yet. I was told that the 30 year old guy in 40 year old’s body is single and has no social life outside of work. He obviously doesn’t want to die and he has a special spot he picked out incase he dies so it won’t make a mess. Honestly, this vibe is really weird to me. I’m going to go put my foot in my mouth and try to get to know him and try to help him have more of a social life. I’ll be friendly and show an interest in him. If I have to, I’ll get him to talk to me by making fun of myself and making him think I’m a dork. I’m messed up in the brain pan so I’m pretty sure I make everyone around me uncomfortable sometimes, so I’m sure I can do this. I don’t know if I can fix him but I’m going to try. I want to try because everyone does make mistakes but I know how to fix anything and most people don’t. These facts make me feel like I might be able to save him. These facts make me feel like I have to.<br><br>It would actually be really embarrassing for me to do this but I don’t make mistakes. I know I can make this weird guy not feel like he’s all alone. I don’t really see how I can fail at making friends when I actually know what I’m doing. Almost nobody else does.<br><br>What do you guys think? I don’t want to be creepy. I’m going to have to show an interest in him. If I’m not careful, he will think I’m interested in him romantically. That will make him feel stupid and I don’t know if we can recover from that. There is a chance I can make him feel stupid and I am sure we will not recover from that. There is a chance I don’t even see him at work tomorrow.<br><br>I want to do this. I want to try and help him. I don’t even know how to approach him.
