When someone hurts me I give them the silent treatment. It is not purposeful, it’s just how I react. I posted before about a falling out I had with my friend at work who is also in a supervisory role over me; we have worked together and been friends for twenty years. I reached out to him on two occasions to try to smooth it over and he was overtly hostile toward me, but then tried to warm up a bit. I’m so upset at how unfairly he treated me that I have clammed up and can’t eben look at him now and I know that for professional purposes I have to get over it, but I’m not sure how to. Any advice??? Help [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm like that too, but over the years, I had to adjust. As hard as it is, you need to take that step to talk to the other person. That's the hardest part. It doesn't do anyone any good to not know why. [ Reply | More

Thanks, I am trying it is very hard when I feel wronged to just adjust my being and feel like a doormat. I realize in the work place you sometimes have to, but I am having a very difficult time. I have approached him on three occasions and each time is worse than the time before it. [ Reply | More

He didn’t like the way I handled something and no amount of explaining changes it and I like to think I am pretty open minded and not stubborn, so I try to understand the other lij g of view, but I. This case he is really wrong and he is not willing to listen. It is very hurtful and I am having a very difficult time. [ Reply | More

In a hundred years will this matter? Life’s too short. Let it go. When things are calm between you, he may even be able to acknowledge. But if he never does, does it really matter? Get along at work, go home and live your life. [ Reply | More

Right, but will anything matter then? Trying to make the present day a good one and it’s difficult to navigate these things and for me even more so because I literally shut down. [ Reply | More
