I have not.

But I’m really sorry that you’re experiencing that.

Please, don’t be afraid to speak up.

You deserve to be treated with respect.

I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing this at work when you need support more than ever. Giving your colleagues the benefit of the doubt - maybe they just dont know what to say or do. Is it possible they're not shunning you and its you misinterpreting? Is it worth speaking to one of your colleagues and explaining the way its making you feel? If they are genuinely shunning you, you need to speak up because its not acceptable.

I wasnt shunned at work but did it to myself. I withdrew from colleagues I'd been friends with for 20 years because I 'knew' they didnt like me, I hate me so they must too.

Not what you're looking for?
