How to deal with team leader that does not like you

I have been working in my office for almost 8 years. 2 years ago my team lead left and one of my colleague took on the role of team leader. We used to be close. He’s been ok at the start but suddenly a year ago started ignoring and just not nice to me, I’m the youngest in the team other members are male and over 50 so he’s really respectful and nice to them even though one hardly does any work but for me when I miss a deadline the office will be on fire. I have reported him to the manager about more issues I can’t mention here, since I reported him all I get from him is complete ignore, he chat around with everyone except me, ask people about their holiday when they come back to work except me, praise other about good work and many more. Well the last today I ask if he has a min and he say wait just need to do something he never got back to me. I don’t want to report him again rather just make notes.

I don’t want to change department as currently I’m edging to more up a pay grade if I stay for at least a year in my team.

On the front it could seem like he is not doing nothing wrong as he could explain he forgot to get back to me and so on etc. Is just emotionally draining make me feel down a bit .

How can I deal with this issue, till I can finally move department?

Ignore him back.
Grey rock. Speak only when spoken to.

If you ask for his advice or help with something and he doesnt get back to you, follow up with an email asking again. Then log everything.

If anyone tries to pull you up on not getting something done, you can then say nobody supported or communicated with you...you have the emails to prove. Thatll show he is not managing you.

But give up on thinking about him leaving you out of pleasantries. You don't need to care about that.
