I’m really good friends with 2 of my coworkers. Yesterday, they got in a fight with each other. One of them was explaining to me what happened and showing their texts to me. When I was looking at their texts, right above it I see that they were talking horribly about me. The worst part about it is they were doing all of this when I was with them. Saying things like “she’s right behind me as I’m texting this” referring to me. It’s really taken a toll on me. I know people talk about people flippantly but I can’t unsee those texts. I feel really humiliated. I’ve always had trouble with worrying about what people think about me and this just confirmed all my fears. The girl who showed me her phone quickly realized I saw the texts and acted like she wasn’t saying anything she was just letting the other one rant. She asked that I don’t bring it up because she doesn’t want to cause more issues now that her and the other coworker made up. Now I’m so paranoid that they’re always talking about me behind my back. I’ve had near panic attacks over this today. Any advice?
