I had or have idk 🤷️ a friend at work who I always got along with. We always were really cool and talked all day and actually she convinced me to go back to my original office after I switched positions to a different one.
Anywho, she one day randomly wasn’t feeling good which is OK I get that everyone has bad days that’s totally fine however she was talking to me normally all day long. As we were talking she got quiet and I asked what was wrong and all she did was look at my straight in my eyes and say don’t get on my bad side. I said what? What are you talking about? And she just repeated herself. I stared at her for a second and said fine. It was like as if I got on her nerves all of a sudden.
I have not spoken to her in 3 weeks.
I always considered us being friends but now that this happened I realized I was probably being too nice to her (offering Starbucks, paying for lunch here and there, even got her gifts for her bday) and never received help back with any of my office things (We work in the medical field and I would help her a lot).
I literally act like she isn’t there and am not fazed by her presence. I can tell she is getting annoyed by all her work but I refuse to say anything until she speaks up. I have another close friend from work who I told and she said she noticed me being nice but never wanted to intervene and says it’s good im standing up for myself.
I guess the point of my rant is work “friends” are not always a friend.
