A colleague of mine and her shadow decided that it would be a good thing to leave me out of all conversations, to pick on my work, and to gossip about me behind my back. I'm sure that most of the other people in the office can see through her tactics but the truth is that I'm very, very sensitive and it hurts. I want to confront her, to ask what it is that I have done to offend her, and yet I suspect that she'll deny everything that is going on and then spread rumours that I've gone all paranoid. One of my coworkers admitted to me that she can see this other girl's tactics but is too worried about preserving her own welfare to say anything. (Fair enough.)
How do you confront insensitive people without jeopardising your own reputation? I've done nothing to deserve this treatment and am feeling increasingly demoralised each day, in spite of all my hard work and friendly attitude.
It's literally driving me nuts. I have feelings of rage and anger that are totally uncharacteristic of me. I come home every night after 11 hours of work with a burning stomach and a head that feels as though it's been put through a vice!
Vent Vent!
