Hi,
This is my first post so excuse me if i'm in the wrong place or not using the correct etiquette.
I am female, 27, live in the UK and work at a university in a small administrative office with just one other girl who is also 27.
We have been working together for 3 months and she is starting to drive me crazy becuase she talks AT me constantly.
She walks in the door talking about her night out/wkd/meal/aching feet/greasy hair or whatever is on her mind and yet never EVER asks me a question about myself - EVER!
I am quite a chatty person myself (But not overbearing i like to think i have some self awareness!) - but she makes me almost mute because she never asks me anything about myself and i am sick of humouring her!
I have actually had a peice of paper on my desk for the last week with the aim being to make a tick every time she asked me a question (just to check if i was over-reacting) and it's empty!?!? completely empty, she hasn't asked me a single thing.
Because it's a small office i don't want a confrontation or to make the environment any worse - She doesn't take any kind of critisim or "suggestion" well and tends to sulk if i say something she doesn't want to hear or do.
I just want an easy life but am now starting to ignore her completely which isn't great for our environment - what should I do!?!?!?
Thank You.
