Do people actually make real friends with coworkers? Yes, they do, sometimes they’re even more important than you think. These two coworkers are showing online just how important it can sometimes be to befriend your coworkers. 

This guy has worked in the stock room for a store for about a year now. His closest coworker is one whom not many talk to. Not because they don’t like him, he’s just a man of few words. He is neurodivergent and has selective mutism, which means the only words most people have ever heard him say has been just one word: «Ok.» 

That didn’t bother this friendly dude though, and he still would chat him up and eventually felt like they were becoming buddies. He didn’t realize how close they were getting until something happened that got him so excited, he had to post about it. What was it? His coworker said a full sentence to him. Sure, it was just a quick little comment and then he quickly turned around and walked away. But this employee was so excited about it! Honestly, his authentic pride and excitement in hearing his neurodivergent coworker say an entire sentence to him is warming the hearts of many online. It’s helping shine a light on the wholesomeness of some work friendships.
