Ignored for no reason

A friend, well, my used-to-be friend at work started to ignore me out of the blue, with absolutely no reason nor was it a grudge held from any argument that erupted in the past. The problem was that we barely argued. It was just throughout the summer when he started to distance himself  and would find excuses and tries to keep distance whenever I asked whether or not he wanted to hang out or how is everything. Just before the end of the year and the start of a new year, he acted as if we were strangers; as if we never met. Frankly speaking, every time I passed by in the halls/ hall ways , his facial expressions would spell out the words, “Can’t you get the hint?”, whenever I approached him. There was no charm in his face when talking and the body language seems to go down when having a conversation. He was just talking for the sake of talking. This is a very special case, considering that absolutely nothing happened in between us, however, he’s acting as if I had just stolen his most precious gift. 

Anyways, he would just say the four words whenever I confronted him, the same four words of “ how are you, brother, you ok?”, that would dodge my concerns towards our disintegrating friendship. I was surprised , very surprised. From his lack of interests and trying to keep the distance in fixing our relationship, from my self-doubting/self-awareness, and from the fact that he was close work friend starting from past few months. I thought we would make friendship forever. However, my friends, dreams are not equivalent to reality and as the saying goes, “Once you feel avoided by someone, never disturb them again”.

You have two choices. If you want to be friends with them, try to know the reasons by either writing them a letter, or maybe through a common friend that will go between you and your friends. Second choice, ignore them…if you think it is not worth your time. Good luck. Focus on your future and what honestly matters no, most friends come and go.
