Lately at work, there's a couple guys who seem obviously uncomfortable as we approach each other in the hallway and there's no one else around (they'd look down, purse their lips, try to turn around to walk the other way, etc). Now they don't even talk to each other, so whatever thoughts/feeling they have toward me they developed independently, and I honestly don't know what I've been doing wrong. I barely talk to them, but until recently (until they became so obviously weirded out by me), whenever I saw them I'd make eye contact, smile or nod in acknowledgement--basic polite stuff that has gotten me in OK terms with most people at work. Also, I'm not exactly intimidating. I'm female, for one thing, and although I'm not super petite both of these guys are bigger than me and could easily overpower me if I turned out to be "dangerous".
I guess while I realize that I'm noticeably, ah, "different", I don't understand why people would go so far as becoming uncomfortable/afraid of me.
