I’ve worked for almost 2 years with a friend I met from work and we get along well, sometimes hang out outside of work. I have been going to her to vent and rant about a difficult experience I’ve been going through with another colleague i.e a male colleague borderline obsessed with me and we generally chat about the workplace. She has been a witness to some of the things that I’ve gone through as well, so I guess we bonded over this too.
I had to leave work early because of the obsessed colleague doing things to try and get my attention like getting too close to me and asking me to do tasks for him even though he could do it himself like printing documents. He has already been told by management to not do things that make me feel uncomfortable. My work friend helped to console me and walked me to the station which was really lovely.
So I find her behaviour a little bit strange lately.
Recently I texted her, she responds quite dismissively with just a thumbs up or only answering some texts. But she will write expressively in work groupchats and she initiated a convo on another groupchat while ignoring my message. When I have seen her at work, she doesn’t really Hi and gives me a vibe that she doesn’t want to talk to me.
I also did a drawing for her for free as she wanted to update her profile picture and for a work account. She recently changed that too. So I’m really not sure what I’ve done to her, I feel like she wants distance?
I’m going through a difficult time and don’t really need someone acting like this.
