The Awkward Person at Workplace

I have this awkward colleague. She treats everyone well except our department. (3 persons) She will reply word for word. I cannot say that she is rude as she only replies if I call her. We rarely spark any conversations. My colleague from the same department felt these too. I personally just think that she is pretty strange since I have not done anything wrong at all since my arrival at the company.

Try to speak to her as much as you can , even if she replies in one word . You can see the change after few days. ..

Be the first to approach her or try to be as friendly as you can. Or I was thinking, she has a crush on you.?? Kidding.

She's older and married. She treats my colleague this way too. I guess she has something against my department.

@holdoors Hmmm. She's insecure with someone or something in your department. Just thinking.

@shantalclay Perhaps, I will never know since I am not going to ask anyways.

you did your part for 2 months, but it seems she's not interested in getting to know anyone in your department. as long as she's answering when you ask, then let it be. or you can ask your boss about it.

We can live with it. Her personality is known to be 'weird' according to some others.

I won't mind, I ask her a question, she answers. Fair enough.;)

Yes, it is fair indeed. As long as she does not affect my work, I am fine with the current settings.

I wonder why she acts that way to your department.

Don't worry everyone is different. Hope she becomes more friendly with you all soon

I hope so too. Perhaps, a one-day miracle will happen.

I also found Awkward Person at my workplace too and I simply avoid and sometimes keep silent to have mental peace and also didn't want to spoil my mood on them,
