So I started developing this relationship with this girl at work. A friendly relationship. I slowly started to try and build our relationship by talking to her during lunch and I even took her home after work, while also eating cake at her place and building a lego set. She is autistic.Yesterday I made the worst mistake you can do with friends: Talk about politics. I brought up how Starmer resigned and she said "good, he's far right." I asked her why she thought like that and the conversation went from there. I don't remember much of the conversation, but throughout the whole thing I remember thinking that this girl might have a few problems, due to some of the shit she was saying. At one point she said " I don't like your opinions" I tried to have a balanced and fair conversation with her, if she didn't like my opinions, then that's fine but I still wanted to talk to her. I had no intention of offending her or pissing her off. Eventually, she grabbed her things and left the room without even saying a word to me. I knew I fucked up at that point. It also took me some time to realise that she also blocked me as well, which I'm a little fuzzed about since she wanted me to come over to her place and help her with her car.So should I avoid this person at work completely, do I try and mend this relationship through a third party or what? Keep in mind she's not my ultimate best friend, just someone I was hoping to be stronger friends with.
>>34651461Look OP, some people are too brainrotted by politics to have friendships with people they disagree with. It's sad and unfortunate, but true. Not your fault.Don't try to mend things, but also no need to avoid her. Just be blandly nice at work and normal, but don't invite her to do things anymore. You're going to have to pick a different work friend to cultivate, unfortunately
