Is it normal if someone talks to you & doesn't talk to you again for no reason?

I've had this, especially at my work.
Like when I was new to the work, people would talk to me and be nice to me but after another day I see them, they tend to ignore me.

I don't get this, its like you speak to someone and they are nice to you, yet another day comes and they try to blank/ignore/avoid you for no reason even if you did nothing wrong:/

    I do this to people. I don't do it on purpose, I just feel so awkward talking to people and I have the question in my mind of "do they even want to be friends with me?" But I have also done it on purpose when I don't want people to get the idea that i want to talk to them everyday. But mostly, I am just afraid to form relationships with people - if we begin to click too much I subconsciously back off to avoid getting too close.

  • Awww man yea I get that too especially in college. Like at the beginning of a semester for the first couple of days if I sit next to the same person they will be nice to me and then the next day completely ignore me and look at me like I'm a freak.

    Sometimes I think they just might be in a bad mood that day or something, but usually they are just bitches. I dunno I just keep to myself now and only talk to my friends I know. I will try to be friendly to people even if they seem rude to me or don't want to acknowledge me, but really I just tend to keep quiet and to myself unless I think I have a connection with a person.

    Wow this happens to me so often! Well I got sick of their fickle ways, so I decided to play a little game. I took their attitude right to'em, did the whole 'stare right through them as you walk past' or look away on purpose, not be the first to say hello etc etc whatever the individual was like. And you know what? The funniest thing, suddenly they were seeking *me out, talking and laughing and chatting away as if we were BFFs! I mean, what's that all about? Believe me honey, works everytime. Some take longer than others. But they always crack in the end :D

    Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. Some people just don't click, if I meet someone for the first time, I am pretty personable then I kind of am to myself. Sometimes I just get the feeling that they couldn't care less, or I just didn't click well with them.

    I've had this happen to me before too. It's like, once the obligation to talk and be nice is over and done with, then phew, no-one has to pretend to care if they don't want to anymore.

    Don't worry, it's nothing you've done (I think. Did you? ;P) It's just a load of tired people who aren't putting in the effort to know you. If it's at work, it makes even more sense. It's just business as usual.

    Are you saying that when you try to talk to them, they more or less ignore you? Man, it sucks. But I guess if that's how they really are, then it's better to see it how it is than to have fake friendliness being thrown about.
