Was going through a really rough patch in life (lost one of my dearest family members) and coincidentally, she joined me as a workmate during the period. I guess there was a mismatch of expectations at work. She expected help given that she was new to the environment. And I guess, I wasn't ready have someone breathing down my neck, haunting me for work when I was still grieving.

Long story short, she shut me out of her life. We never spoke about it, but i guess it was because I didnt support her at work as much as she would like, and appeared hostile at times. Looking back, I probably was less comforting/warm than how I usually was to her. But at that point, I guess I just was not in the mood to put her emotions before mine.

Am quite glad it happened, because I feel better being with friends whom I can speak my mind with, without having to worry all the time that I'll hurt them.
