I am not usually socially awkward especially in a professional sense. I am quite confident in communicating effectively in work and have a way of engaging people in conversation. That being said, I recently was at work and I unexpectedly looked up and saw T. Not sure if he saw me but I quickly looked away and sort of hid. I panicked!! Like a teenage school girl!!!Now I will feel awkward at therapy when we talk. His mother is a patient where I work. I was not actually caring for her but he did tell me she was there. I intentionally did not work extra days so I would not run into him. Also, I was trying to respect boundaries. He said he saw me once at work before and did not acknowledge me so I thought that is what he wanted. Why does this make me feel like I did something wrong? He is always professional with me I feel like a fool. He was talking with someone and I was giving report. When I was done he was gone. Should I have gone to the room and say hi. We are not friends although I care for him deeply. I am beating myself up please tell me how I could have handled this better.
