Told my crush and now he’s being mean?

So last week I plucked up the nerve to tell my crush that I liked him. He absolutely friendzoned me, and that’s fine, but the last couple of days, he has started to say mean things about me, in front of me, when we have been in a group setting at work.

I haven’t said anything to him yet, because it’s absolutely shocked me as it’s so not his character, he’s never, ever said a mean word about me in the time I’ve known him. Colleagues are surprised at the change in him towards me too. I intend to have the conversation with him, but I’m expecting him to deny it as nastiness, he will say he was just joking around, and that I’m overthinking it.

Why would he be mean to someone that has shown him nothing but kindness and care, even before confessing the crush? Even before all this I considered us true friends, but now I just see him as fake? How could a true friend treat another true friend this way?
