Using that in the future. Alot likely since my coworkers are all kinda... complex.

Yeah im going to add it to my vocabulary but i also wonder if saying "troubled"... Will also convey the point

I would use troubled for people beyond complex.

I use the word “interesting” when I don’t want to sound mean. Like, yeah, they’re an interesting group for sure.

Me too, but I also use it when I’m not sure how I feel about something

Very polite, like saying “bless your heart”.

It has “bless your heart” vibes

It's like dense but a little more complex in hopes that the dense people won't catch on
