He says If I ever need anything?

[Anonymous]

We had a misunderstanding we both kind of apologised we work in the same hospital and he says that if I ever need to talk or need anything

he doesn't hold anything against

we both suffer from axintwy and can just say stuff

is he making an effort to be a friend?

It sounds like a friendly gesture to me. You dont give a whole lot of context to the situation surrounding this gesture so it is hard to say for sure but that "if you ever need anything" does sound like a friendly thing to say. I'm a bit concerned that you are hoping for more than a friendly type gesture. J apologize if I'm out of line thinking that but I get that vibe from your question. I'll take a leap of faith and assume that I'm right and tell you the same thing that I tell everyone on here asking about coworkers. Don't get personally involved with them. It is the worst possible idea. The second things go south (friends or more) it becomes toxic. I'm not saying you can't be friendly to people you work with but just keep it to that. Keep it professional and nothing more.

No I think I just overthink it

He said me and him are mates so I'm sure it's all good

It is very easy to overthink this type of stuff. That's good t I hear you're just friends. I wish I could still find the post where the poster got into a workplace romance and things went to shit. Cautionary tale for those contemplating that.

At least be amicable. Likely because you work at the same place and he doesn't want to build a negative relationship that could influence his job. Since it's a misunderstanding, it might be an attempt to be friend, somewhat, yeah.

It sounds like he is genuinely trying to be friendly and supportive.
