[quote=Anonymous]I used to worked at a place where seemingly all of a sudden, numerous people I encountered didn't seem to like me. None of them were people I knew well, but I was generally friendly at work and I started being met with a brick wall with a number of people. I'd be friendly and they wouldn't smile at me and would exit conversations with me as quickly as possible. When I'd walk into a room, I could not shake the feeling that people were talking about me or had just been talking about me or were waiting for me to leave so they could talk about me. It was extremely uncomfortable and had a massive impact on my mental health. I didn't know if I was just being super oversensitive or if it was real -- it seemed so random and improbable that I actually felt crazy. But I also didn't really know anyone in the office well and no one told me what was going on and I didn't want to ask because I would have sounded incredibly paranoid.

Turns out that there was some gossip going around about another person in the office, it got confused with me, and a bunch of people thought I'd done an extremely unethical and cruel thing to a very well-liked colleague who no longer worked there. It got cleared up but I never shook that feeling of just being despised by people who were basically strangers to me. I had to go to therapy. I quit that job and have worked from home as a contractor ever since because I now have social paranoia and assume people dislike me and that I have no control over why and cannot clear my name no matter what I do. Basically, offices are like waking nightmares to me.[/quote]
