Help: this woman at work and I don’t get along.
At my job, there is this woman who started about 4 months ago, Sheila.
I have been with the office for nearly two years. So ever since Christina told Sheila that I watch the women coworkers walk by me as I eat my lunch, Sheila has developed this immense disliking of me.
Even when I perform tasks essential to my job such as empty out the shredder and empty the trash, she becomes really standoffish.
When I’m at my desk, ten times out of ten I’m looking down at my paperwork and I don’t even look at Sheila. Yet she acts like I’m always looking at her and bothering her.
I catch her looking at me when I’m working.
I don’t watch people per se but if I sense someone walking by I will
Look up to see who it is. But when Sheila comes out of her office, I don’t look up at all.

Sounds like you need to confront Christina since she was the one who lit the fuse. If there's nothing in what you're doing, then have her educate Sheila.

10% of people aren't going to like you no matter what you do. I focus my attention on those that do and disregard those that don't. Unless they decide to start something with me, then I will turn and become defensive. If you think she would try and get you fired, I'd surreptitiously record myself and / or her for my defense. Its easily done these days.
