The other day this lady at work started talking to me. She’s a caregiver too.

She’s often at the same house as I am. The first day she started talking to me, she said she was reluctant to compliment me on my car as I seemed like I didn’t want to be bothered.

Well, I told her that I’m shy & introverted & not standoffish like she originally thought I was.

Anyways, she seems nice She was very open about having gastric bypass surgery & then she talked about being in 2 physically abusive relationships.

I saw her once inside her car after that & we talked some more.

Then I saw her 2 more times. She was out with her client most of the day one time. Today I saw her on her phone inside.

Then when she was done, she said nothing & she went outside to her car & stayed there.

Her client came out, so I don’t think they went out. I didn’t see her come in or use the bathroom.

I know that she saw me. I didn’t say hi to her as I didn’t want to interrupt her phone call. I was going to say hi to her after she got off the phone, but she left as soon as she got off the phone.

As I said, she saw me. I don’t understand why she is being weird. Maybe she is jealous of me since I am with this guy a few days a week at another location who she thinks is nice & cute.

I’m married. I only said that guy is nice. I don’t understand why she’s ignoring me now.

Her client has severe autism & she might’ve said something negative about me. What’s strange is that client sometimes ignores me & a few times she says hi to me.

It’d be stupid to believe anything someone with a severe mental disorder, but some people just don’t think of stuff like that.

Why is this lady ignoring me? Most people stay inside the house. You’re not supposed to actually stay in your car at work. You’ll be written up if you’re caught. Weird!

Maybe she is bipolar? Or jealous of me working with her crush? Or she has some issues? She mentioned having bad luck with people or something like that.

I didn’t tell her much about myself btw. I just mentioned weight a bit & work mostly,

I assume she is an adult or at the very least is out of high school so it’s very unlikely she is jealous of anybody or has a crush (one can think someone is cute and nice without it being a crush). Crushes and being jealous of other girls is common for high school students, not adults.

There’s no way to know why she’s not interested in talking. There doesn’t really have to be an explanation or a reason. I’d not worry about it. I’d focus on my work tasks. You spoke to her a few times. It’s not like meaningful friendship abruptly ended. You are strangers

She is an adult. She’s probably around 30 years old maybe?

I just thought it was weird to how she didn’t even bother saying hi to me after being so open with me.

I don’t expect her to talk to me all the time, but to deliberately try to avoid me now seems weird.

It makes me feel like I did or said something wrong. Maybe it’s her though as most people I know don’t go from being very open to trying to ignore you all of a sudden for no apparent reason.

Some of my other coworkers say hi to me & some don’t. It’s not a big deal. I was just trying to make sense of her odd behavior.

Say hi to her first next time and see if she responds

I think sometimes people do behave in odd ways, but trying to make sense of it isn’t usually worth it, because sometimes there isn’t any sense in it at all. I wouldn’t let it worry you.

Trying to figure out why people do what they do is a waste of time because you may never get an answer. We could only try to figure out what we do and why.

True. I did see her a few days ago. We talked for a few minutes.
