I am confused with my recent experience, I was transferred to a new office which I like.Because I was very new I have no friends or acquaintances there. This girl kindly spoke to me and I kind of like her because she seem nice. She ask questions about me and I openly reply feeling she's sincere. Our friendship grew to months but I have to go to a new office again for a new job. After 6 months we were reunited as we both got transferred in the same office. I noticed she demands and feel she's using me to get what she wants. Then I noticed that she would wave and say hello to other officemates but once they are gone she would tell me negative things about private lives of these people. I started to get uncomfortable but did not know how to keep my distance. I have told her my personal problems before I noticed this behavior of her.
Our closeness was cut off when I had to go to school for my graduate studies, the closeness we used to have was cut little by little because I have to do my job and study at the same time. She felt irritated whenever she ask me to take a break (Lunch) and I couldn't because I have to catch up on my work or school paper. She started making remarks, teasing me, just to make me angry perhaps... but I just smile or laugh at her antics. Thats when i noticed some officemates making comments about me, even making remarks like telling what they know about me... and that's what hurts me because I have lost a friend or perhaps true friendship in a workplace never really happens.

Don't be fooled by people these days.....A lot of people who appear to be nice can actually backstab you when you're not looking...
Always put on your defences no matter where you are, at new job etc...Only open up to people when they really are nice...
I have seen many people who are making use of me before, and now I have grown smarter and wiser...
