I go to work to work because I need a paycheck, not to make friends.

Where I am there is a new coworker that to me acts needy (think of Slow Horses’s Struan Loy), tries befriending me, but he invariably asks if everything’s ok. I don’t care about this person’s life.

The first 2 times I didn’t think anything of it, but he asks that every day and it’s becoming tiring.

I feel mobbed and stalked, mobbed because he keeps insinuating there is something wrong with me just because I don’t ask him about his private life and do my job, and stalked, because he is so fixated on me.

going to HR over this seems ridiculous, but I’m starting to hate his voice.

    You going to HR can also take place of talking to him yourself. You talk to HR and ask them to tell him to let you work, they talk to him so you don’t have to try and navigate his bullshit and you get the issue noted to support your side of things.

    This is how humanity dies.

      Humanity is already dead. Allowing him the chance to get to HR first to complain means you are going to be on the wrong side of things.

      We don’t know his mental state or what he may do if rejected.
