[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, OP, OP
You need to deal with your boss. Not what your coworkers think, not what you perceive is her issue with you, not anything but focusing squarely on the issue 
This is not a situation to "crowd source", if you will, or ask friends about. 
Be careful with talking about this with coworkers. You have no idea if they are telling her what you say, or it's getting back to her through broken confidences. Your post indicates you are talking about this a lot with your peers 
When someone offers a suggestion, you are immediately going back to what your coworkers think 
Stop all that static and concentrate on
1. When
2. How
3. What
Meaning when are you going to talk to your boss, how you are going to do it, and what you are going to say[/quote]

Yes. Most of the advice on this thread is unproductive, other than quitting which is always fine if you don’t like the job.

But even if you quit, for the love of god you need to raise this with the boss. Practice your communication skills. Make it about the work and not about how she is delivering things. Eg “in that meeting, I suggested X. It seemed like many people liked that idea. You did not. Can we revisit X? I really believe in that idea and I’d like a little more time to discuss. What are your top concerns with X?”

Choose specific times to do this, either after the moment or save it for your one on ones. And be open to the idea that you may even have things to learn/work on yourself.[/quote]
