I need some advice as far as how to handle a workplace situation. Long story short, I no longer feel welcome around a certain person. We never had a beef, as far as I know, but they react kindly around other people, talk to other people. But when I'm around, I'm excluded, talked over or ignored. The one time they acknowledged me was when I asked a question and they asked “what” in a way that told me to shut up because no one cares. So I shut down, said “nevermind” and left.
Other than that, it's not malicious. It's just a feeling like I don't belong, or that they don't want me there. I told my higher up and that's about it.
Is this something serious?
