I have oneitis (HB8) at work.

Two weeks ago I realized it had to stop so I sought out to cut her from existence.

She very quickly noticed this change so she would ask questions like "whats wrong". I simply replied "nothing". A week into radio silence She would try to start a conversation or try to get me to notice her, or would ask me a question that had to do with work ( which I couldn't avoid not answering). She would essentially try like a fiend to get her validation fix from me (even if it was just looking at her).

As much as I tried, I broke the radio silence and started to talk to her, reinforcing her entire behavior chain she displayed.

I know that the common recommendation for oneitis treatment is "plates,plates and more plates!" and while I'm working on that I believe this oneitis has to have a two prong approach.

  1. plates,plates and more plates!-inherently creates abundance mentality, which also supports motivation for self improvement (even though motivation for self improvement should be an intrinsic quality..)

    1. radio silence- this is the part that I am struggling with especially when it comes to the workplace. We work the same shifts and very close projects (meaning our teams constantly interact with each other).

What advice can you guys give to me in working on #2?

Additionally, I suspect that she will eventually confront me about it.

What advice can you give me when she confronts me about why I'm acting the way I am towards her?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
