My coworker ignores me from time to time, especially around other colleagues/friends, like responding with one word answers in a very unenthusiastic/passive aggressive tone, which he doesn’t do with anyone else. However, at other times during the day/next day he is very attentive to me, and we joke around together. Basically he plays hot and cold. Why does he do this?
Now I am ignoring him because I feel hurt and I don’t want to talk to someone who doesn’t seem to respect me as a friend…and he tries to talk to me/says hi to me still occasionally, despite me very obviously giving him the cold shoulder. What does this mean, why does he do this?
