I experience something for the 1st time today and I have to say it almost made me get emotional

[fbj]

I went back to visit my old job today since I was in the area. I been gone a full year and wanted to surprise everyone. After seeing me, about 6 or 7 women was running toward me with enthusiasm to give me a hug. I never experience that before and made me feel good that so many people missed seeing me. I was fighting tears lol

In truth far too many of us have absolutely no idea how loved and/or appreciated and/or enjoyed we are by others. And those times that we get a glimpse of that, it does feel really really good. Kudos that you got to experience that.

It is a common phenomenon. I jumped around from job to job during my career, and on the rare occasions when I came back for some reason I was always well received. I don't think it had anything to do with me personally. I think there is a psychological reason for it. In a strange way, for those who remain it's like you came back from the dead, especially if it seems you have improved your situation by leaving.

I must be weird because that would actually make me uncomfortable. There is this Bible Study that I go to semi-regularly. One week I didn't go, and the next week they saw me and were like, "We missed you". I just felt really weird and uncomfortable. It was almost like they expected me to be there. I decided to go less frequently so that I wouldn't become like a permanent fixture or something.

We worked together for 3 years so not seeing me for a year and suddenly popping up out of nowhere caught everyone by a surprise. It was a uncontrollable reaction
