Being deliberately ignored

[PinkSand]

I'm being deliberately ignored by a work colleague. I say hello and she looks away. We've had a few nice chats. This has been going on for over one week now.

AIbu to ignore her too or should I ask what's wrong?

I see her everyday but we work in different departments.

I have learnt that you never know what people have going on in there own lives that can cause anguish, grumpiness and even rudeness etc. I've also learnt that most of the time its never personal, and the shitty behaviour is because the person generally doesn't like anyone and just has a bad attitude.

I understand that it can be upsetting, but try and brush it off. If you actually don't need to work with her then ignore.

Because her behaviour is rude and triggering

I have spoken to my work colleague. She also has the same treatment from her. The Lady in question has OCD and maybe another disability.

I'm so relived it isn't just a spiteful bully.

Thank you for all of the really kind, insightful replies. I feel 100% better. I shall continue to acknowledge her and be polite and no longer hurt.

We're all so very different in our temperaments so what 1 person can do another would shudder to...but personally I would ask her if I've offended her in some way as she seems to be upset with me/ignoring me. See what she says..

But why is it ‘triggering’? It’s mildly rude, sure, but it’s the kind of thing that merits a ‘Oh, weird!’ and barely another thought, surely?

I’ve said this on here before, but I once had a nice, quite lengthy conversation with a woman at the village playground, who then completely blanked me every time she saw me afterwards, and thought I must have unintentionally offended her. Until someone told me a year later that she had badly impaired vision (couldn’t drive etc), and simply wouldn’t have been able to see me unless I was less than about two feet away.

I would say hello or good morning so as she doesn’t think you’re in the slightest bit bothered and but make her think she has any power over you but not wait for a reply. She’s honestly not worth being worried about as nature adults don’t behave that way.

In exjob I worked with a manager like that for four years. Looked through me if I said good morning, never started a conversation (but oddly was always OK talking about work). No idea what her problem was but it was her problem as far as I was concerned.

As long as she did what I needed her to do workwise I didn't care.

This is pathetic. Why get worked up over a work colleague. Shes not a personal friend so forget it
