I think they’re angry with me

But I don’t know why.

Went into my work today to get a drink and when I said bye to everyone one coworker said see you never. I just ignored it assuming I heard wrong, maybe I did. But I went shopping a bit and then I had to go back to my work to put in a Lyft request (they pay for it from there to my home) so I did and they all came out for their break and the same person said “oh what are YOU doing here?” And I just laughed and said hi to them all and they started ignoring me. I stood there for a few minutes like really. And just walked away. I’m really sad. I have no clue what I did or what’s going on. It’s always the same thing so I’m doing something wrong I just don’t have enough insight as to what I guess.

You need to ask your supervisor, be open and honest as much as you can be. If this happens a lot in jobs then it’ll be your illness to blame, paranoia etc . I worked and it was unbearable came home crying every night, had to stop working eventually.
Wish you all the best, don’t panic

It happens in most social settings I have to go to regularly, especially larger groups, it probably is paranoia/anxiety. I haven’t been told I did anything wrong so I should assume I didnt

But if you need reassurance just check with supervisor

Do you think the story that you recounted is skewed potentially?

Maybe it was light teasing idk. I’ve experienced some stuff at work that was paranoia and overthinking believing everyone was in on it. I usually had someone there I could talk to to see what’s up. I haven’t worked since 2016 though.

How assertive are you in these places? Rightly or wrongly, people can get mad if you put yourself forward when they don’t want you to. You can probably solve that problem with just a little adjustment, if that is the problem. I’ve pissed off some people pretty badly by being way too assertive.

I talked to one person that was there and it ended up being a misunderstanding. Also apparently that other coworker has been saying weird things like that lately, they tend to say kind of odd things in general

I think they’re being rude and you shouldn’t take it personally. Anymore than you should take it personally if someone is short.

If it was me & it was a definite sort of Rudeness i would have asked them to repeat what they said just incase you misheard, if they repeat something that was rude then you should ask, ‘why are you saying that?’ sometimes its good to just politely ask if you are unsure, if its anything bad or upsetting i would then say ‘i am sorry you feel that way’ if it continues then i’d bring it up with your supervisor, behaviour like that creates a bad atmosphere in the workplace and should be addressed.

I’m not sure I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure but there’s a good chance they were just joking! Maybe it came off the wrong way. Like they realized it sounded a bit rude but they just meant it in a joking kind of way.

I hope things end up ok :slight_smile:

I agree. If nothing has been brought to your attention, you might be reading into things too much. And if that coworker really does have an issue with you, but is too immature to speak to you about it, then it’s not your problem. Try to forget their behavior. Try to actively think about pushing it out of your mind. Hope the anxiety goes away quickly!
