So I have pretty bad social anxiety but I’ve been actively trying to be more social at work to make friends so I don’t feel so alone all the time. There’s this new coworker who I hit it off with really well. Really sweet person and we share some similar experiences. So I had mentioned at one point that my birthday was coming up and they actually went out of their way to get me a card and even wrote a sweet note with their number. Awesome right? Well there’s this other coworker who is much closer to them than me and apparently the coworker that gave me the card didn’t get anything for their friend because it was the first day they started working there. 

Well to bring it back to when they gave me the card I was super excited. I don’t really get presents like that often and I finally felt if made a connection. But when I reacted that way the coworker almost seemed borderline annoyed by my reaction. Me not knowing the full context was confused but didn’t think about it until they outright told me why they were on the down low about it. 

So after work is when I actually opened the card and read the sweet message I texted them saying thank you but never got a response. Maybe they’re just busy and might also have social anxiety. But I can’t shake the fact that I might have messed up big time at finally becoming close with someone. 
Sorry for such a long post I just don’t know what to think and maybe it’s just not a big deal in the first place I just needed to vent 
Thanks for your time.
