This week’s dilemma:

“I genuinely thought we had a connection, but now I feel like I’ve made a fool of myself.”

In this minisode, we respond to a listener who built a real connection with a colleague, until things suddenly got weird. The inside jokes and meme swaps have turned into short replies and cold shoulders, and now she’s left wondering: Did I overshare? Did I get too close? Or was it never what I thought it was?

If you’ve ever blurred the lines between work and friendship and then had to navigate the fallout, this one’s for you.
