your co-worker is in this thread
I started a new job and met this dude my first week. I was part of a group and he toured us around the office.
However, I’ve seen him a bunch of times since then and we never say hi. We just walk past each other like we are strangers. It’s becoming mad awkward cause I’ll see him and he’ll see me but we never acknowledge one another. Idk what to do cause it’s been so many times where we deliberately ignore each other. If I see this dude walking my way I’ll try to walk a different way to avoid him.
"so many situations were WE deliberately ignore eachother"
I don’t think so bruh.
The other day we were gonna walk right by each other. He decided to stop and adjust his backpack for some reason before we were gonna get close. I walked by him while he was hunched over focusing on something else.
I doubt he was doing s***. I think it was intentional because he didn’t want to make eye contact with me.
update us bro
I've been trying my super hardest lately to say f*** the awkwardness that ppl might be feeling. I dont care no more I'm just gonna carry on with my day and not worry about it. It takes work but tbh I'm starting to get good at it and it makes my days way better.
rule #1 of most social interactions: its not awkward until you make it awkward

Most people are just trying to go through the motions and default to this energy:
