Why Does My Co-Worker Talk To Me Through My Coworker?

[Treacle71]

He does this all the time. He has a conversation supposed for me, but tells it all to my coworker. I asked him if I was unapproachable and he said 'no' and even my co-worker tells him to speak to me and not to her. Odd behaviour. He has a full dialogue with her intending it to be for me.

I haven't experienced this before and wondered if anyone knows why.

Perhaps you give off hostile vibes whether you mean to or not.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably scared of you.

Is it about work or some other subject?  You seem to have had trouble with co-workers before so maybe he thinks you are indeed unapproachable?

In all honesty you are a bit 'unusual' if you are like you appear to be from here. You appear to take umbridge at things that a vast majority of people may not. It's completely your prerogative of course and the world needs differences. It's just that people will treat you different as a result. You probably are unapproachable but he doesn't want to say that

[Treacle71]

Well, I've always been that little bit different.
