Weird behavior at work?


I was close friends with someone at work for two years. All of a sudden out of the blue they say they don't want to talk to me anymore but he had the cheek to say he'll still say 'hello'. Anyhow after that he just now completely ignores me,it's baffled my head because we was getting along fine and I never spoke bad about him to anyone. He did something strange today,he came onto my floor and I noticed him spy on me around the corner to see what I was doing which is weird. It's kinda making it awkward at work. It's just not having closure either when I know I didn't do anything. How do I stop the awkwardness at work?

This is the same guy you posted about last time?

Gee, what are the odds😂? MC just bubbles over with maturity and good sense.

Sounds like a drama queen. I can't stand people like this. They are nice to you on their terms. I work with a few myself. One day they're your best friend and the next they ignore you.


Tell him to get bent.

Are you a female? Maybe the guy’s in love with you and found out about some other relationship or hook-up you’re involved in.

You probably broke that poor man’s heart. Shame!

In your position, I would lay it out to him simply. Tell him you don't get why he won't talk to you anymore, as you've done nothing bad to him, but if he really doesn't want to be friends, that's fine, he just needs to stop acting awkward and being weird around you - as he's the one who rejected your friendship, not the other way around. If I'm being honest, I'd be a lot more blunt and say, look dude, I don't care if we talk, but can you dial back the weirdness? You're making being at my workplace uncomfortable for no reason.

By your name, I'm assuming female. Evil plot adjusted for gender.

Only talk to him when there are other people around. Be cheerful and personal as though nothing at all is wrong. When he doesn't respond in the natural social manner, it will make him look weird in their eyes. It will incite gossip. Some whom may be in his personal friend circle will ask him whats up. You can find out what his beef is through the grape vine. Meanwhile you are acting normal and he isn't. Keep up the ruse and eventually he will be regarded as rude and mean. As long as you don't act awkward, you shouldn't feel awkward. Act like you are trying to help someone you barely know. Let him shoulder the burden of the social consequences of odd behavior in the office.

Divest yourself emotionally from him and be the nicest person there ... even to him. Especially to him. If he ever snaps and gets shitty with you where someone can see (preferably only hear) then fake a good cry. If those same people later see you still trying to be nice to him with watery eyes, then his fate is sealed. Perma office dick.

Stop sleeping with his spouse.

Stop caring. He is nothing to you.
