I'll be leaving the company sometime this week and even though I'm really attached to some of my colleagues and the service users, I don't plan on sticking around long enough to say goodbye.

I absolutely HATE saying goodbye to people because I'm socially awkward and evem though I want to, I'll do anything to avoid saying how I'll miss them and how great it's been working with them. So much so that I don't even plan on asking my favourite service user to give back the DVD's I lent him.

I wish I could say how I feel about it like a normal person, but I can't. So I will have to just stay contented with looking like a callous ***** to everyone.

*sigh* Thus is life.

    I understand to an extent. I have a late-reaction problem where, at the moment that I'm saying goodbye, I'm unable to summon the proper emotions such as sadness to express how much I'm going to miss the other person; I also can't say I'll miss them and sound sincere, because it comes out sounding very awkward. Usually, I'll just hug the person and say, "See you soon!" then leave, even if I might never see the person again. Then, about 20-30 minutes later, I'll burst into tears and sob my heart out in a way I couldn't do at the proper time. It's very frustrating.

    Aww bless you! Glad to know that it isn't just me on here that has this problem though. I think I might give your hug and "see you soon" technique a go. Thanks for your advice! :)
