Co worker B: will literally come over to me and if I start talking she will hop up and go "Oh well I will let you go" but when I listen to her stories she is there forever.
Co worker C: just doesn't want to talk to me anymore -- at all. Unless I am doing something for her. Getting her lunch or going to an event with her. I mean she literally doesn't pick up the phone if I call and if I get her she says "I have to go."
And the list just goes on and on.

I have this kind of thing with some of my coworkers. They constantly want me to listen to them or help them with something. One wanted me to donate my leave and I could feel her resentment when I didn’t. I feel isolated at work because I draw a clear boundary and I don’t spend my time socializing or getting enmeshed with personal stuff.
