Thank you for the kind words! This situation troubles me quite a bit.

He did not cross any lines (e.g. no explicit comments, no overt moves). I got to know him as a person and I found him to be a great boss and a mentor. His way of dealing with me helped me get through my anxiety problems and helped me get more confident profession-wise. In light of this, I do not want to harm him in any way. Nevertheless, I am very bothered by the situation. Every morning I wake up hoping that I am just imagining things. But then I get to work and see all the weirdness. If anything, I want to leave quietly... Ideally, I would love to stay, but things are not looking good...
