DEAR ABBY: I recently reconnected with a colleague from work. We were friendly, but not really what I would call friends. We reconnected on social media and have had lunch a few times. The problem is, she has become a very negative, aggressive, angry person. S
he spends our time bashing family, former colleagues and just about every service professional she has encountered. She refuses to stop talking about politics even though I’ve made it clear I’m not comfortable with it.
The first lunch was bad, but I thought I’d give it another shot. The second lunch was worse, and I decided I wouldn’t reach out or make plans again. Then she made a comment that made me feel inclined to try to befriend her. She said she didn’t have a lot of friends.
