Search Results: being avoided

I am 31 years old, a newlywed, and I am partially a NEET.

NEET = Not in Education, Employment, or Training

When I mean "partially", I have been picking up occasional small, project-based gigs. Although, I am not employed and have been unable to hold down stable work my entire life. I am currently on disability benefits (SSDI) and I am on a fixed, restricted income. I am hesistant to try working again because the government has attempted to remove my disability benefits and Medicare (gov health insurance) due to trying to reenter the workforce and failing. I have held 25 jobs since age 15 and have been fired half of them (others close to being fired/quitting to avoid termination). I must protect my one and only health insurance by all means, because it can potentially be a public safety risk without it. I need adequate mental health care.

My most recent full time job I was fired from in July 2024. I only lasted 9 months. I have also had to leave career pursuits twice now. First, I was an EMT and had my license essentially revoked. Then, I transitioned into tech as a software engineer and the tech job market was essentially destroyed. Now, I am in a slump as to what I would want to pursue next, if I am even capable of holding down work.

Coworker who’s on my team and who sits near me and i got into argument at work, after the argument she wouldn’t talk to me just stare constantly and get mad when i talked to other female co coworkers, a few months later we both apologized so all was good, but for some reason the staring continued and when I tried to talk to her she was cold and short with me. A few days later, i was out of office for my birthday, instead of her saying happy birthday or simply not saying anything at all, she was viewing my LinkedIn but didn't say anything. Even though if she had any professional questions she could just ask me, as she sits right near me, and has the same exact job I do, we see each other daily. So there's no professional reason to lurk on my account when I’m out of office, people at work think she’s obsessed and they think her behavior is weird and concerning. After a few days, i blocked her because it felt creepy and inappropriate to do this with a co worker. After i blocked her she avoids me entirely and doesn’t even stare at me anymore, when we are near each other it’s just awkward silence. So I want to know if people on here also think she’s being weird or if this normal and I’m overthinking things?
