Hi Priscilla,

I think he may have gotten in deep water in his past when he was more like you are now. And he learned (sadly) that getting too invested is never worth it in this corporate setting. That you always have to protect yourself. Even from you. It’s like having a computer password. You may not need it, but the people who would go on your computer are statistically people you know.

Maybe he got further triggered when you wouldn’t let it go. Maybe that’s how he got burned once before (I’m assuming).

And if you’re still hurt, consider: Maybe you’re not that close.

I agree. Don’t take it personally.

Best,

Inky
