When a fellow girl is either in a relationship with or obviously interested in a boy at my workplace, especially if I have to work in similar positions to him or interact with him a lot, I don't know how exactly to act. I'll still be polite to the boys, and I'll do what I have to do to get the job done, but I get so anxious whenever I have to interact with them when the other girl is around, working with us as well either in either the same or somewhat different position. I don't know if they get jealous easily or even if there are certain boundaries in place. I don't know any of that. I'm not a kind reader and I'm not about to start nosing around in other people's business. Idk. I am personally uncomfortable with workplace romances up to a certain degree, simply because I find that I get so anxious having to interact with the boys when their partner is around. I don't want to be *that girl* who is really nice to *their boyfriend* who, coincidentally, seems to think highly of her. Any thoughts on what I should do to remedy these feelings of anxiousness?

@CreatorCat If you don’t have any romantic attraction to the boy then just treat him normally, like a co-worker or friend! No reason for any drama. To be perfectly frank, if she gets jealous when you are treating him as a friend, that’s her problem. Don’t ghost him, that would just be mean. And don’t avoid him when you need his help with work. Interact as you need to. Easy peasy! I assume. I’m speaking from a kid’s perspective, so… I tried my best. Hope it helped!
