Just want a space to think about what just transpired. I dont think I did anything wrong socially, but I'm confused.
I have a friend that works at the same company as me. We're completely on good terms and have no beef at all, but something odd happened in the afternoon.
We normally get lunch together, not every single day, maybe like once a week. Really just depends on timing.
I send him a DM saying "lunch?", didnt get a reply, so I kind of write it off. 5mins later I see him get up from his desk and walk past everybody to go to the elevator. I ended up going down with someone else not long after.
We ended up being right behind him in the lunch line. He sees me and I jokingly say "didn't see my DM eh?". I said it in the most non-confrontational way possible, but it was kind of a "wtf" moment in my head.
I completely acknowledge I could have kept this to myself, but I thought that within the dynamics of our relationship, it was completely in line.
He was slightly defensive or even in a somewhat bad mood, but he replied "I saw, but I was in a meeting" and didnt really converse with me after that. He then went to a two-seater table with another colleague of ours that was already sitting there. So me and the guy im with just sat at larger table and I went on my own way after it.
I keep thinking to myself, am I overreacting?
I don't care at all that he had something else in mind, I would prefer complete honesty over whatever that was. I guess im more upset that there was a dimissive comment combined with acknowledgement I was purposely ignored? Like just tell me "not today"
I'm absolutely just gonna leave it alone, but it did kind of sting and definitely changed my perception of him.
Thoughts?
