I have two coworkers who started at my job. One is 50 and from India and the other is 44 and from Bangladesh. They are both friends with each other. I am 28. They are both nice and always smile back when I smile at them. We always wave to each other. I am socially awkward and I don't really say much when people talk to me.
The Indian woman and I had a good start. We worked together once and talked. She hugged me only two times. She still always greets me and asks me how I am, but I have a feeling that she has been distant. We worked together once and never again. Like she's avoiding me or something. She doesn't want to work with me. I also saw her talking to a manager for a long time when the manager told us to work together, I guess she was complaing about me or to avoid me. Afterwards, I noticed the manager was looking at me like she wanted to tell me something.
The Bengali woman told me, "You always smile at me and I don't know why." While we were sitting together in the break room, she was talking to her daughters on the phone and she told them in her language that I always smile at her. I have this feeling that the Indian woman has been telling the Bengali something about me and the Bengali woman knows something that I don't. I think the Indian woman advised her to not say anything to me.
The Bengali woman is nice, but I don't know about the Indian woman. She doesn't want to work with me. She keeps her distance from me but still greets me and asks me how I am every time she sees me.
I don't know why, but I feel like I need to get along with them. They are much older, but I just seem to be so taken by them ever since I first saw them. Are they wondering why I am just so taken by them? What are their intentions? Are they avoiding me? Am I missing some social cues that makes it awkward being around me? Am I just overthinking this?
