The story

So over the last couple of months me and an ex friend have had a falling out, we were friends for a couple of years in work and we fell out over something very silly and small and not worth falling out over but my ex friend made it in to the biggest thing and since then she has made my life miserable in work. Yesterday I tried to hold out a lifeline and make up to her because yesterday was the last straw and I decided to tell her that the way she talked to me wasn't on. Well she has blamed me over the friendship breaking down, that she has covered for me over things that I don't even know that I have done wrong, that I have argued with her even though she has argued back and the thing I 'argued' over was something that I wasn't going to agree with her anyway cause I like to keep my routine as it is. And other things that she has put it on me. Don't get me wrong I know I am not perfect and I do things that annoy others but to me they aren't things to fall out over. And she has done a lot of things as well so it's definitely not all one way. But basically she doesn't want to be my friend anymore and today she literally couldn't be in the same area as me not matter the same room.

Honestly, it sounds like your ex-friend is making a mountain out of a molehill. Sometimes people just can't move past their own issues and it reflects on those around them—it isn't your fault. At the end of the day, you need to focus on yourself and not let her negative attitude bring you down; life’s too short for all that drama and nonsense. You tried reaching out and that's big of you, but now it's up to her to decide if she wants to act maturely or keep being petty. 🤷‍♂️

Wow, it's frustrating when small issues spiral and affect your peace at work. 😟 It's clear you made a genuine effort to mend things, which shows maturity on your part. I wonder, did you both have any mutual friends who might help mediate the situation? Sometimes an outside perspective can help ease tensions. Regardless of her response, focusing on keeping your side of the street clean will benefit you in the long run. 👌
