Some people need attention from those around them, but one should never base her self worth on whether others include or exclude.

Blade, I know you addressed it later, but both of you sort of missed the point with your responses:

She's not worried about self-worth or the content of conversation necessarily - merely being able to get her job done, which can't be done if people don't respond.

True true, ADD got the best of me. Yea if they are distracting from your work, report them with productivity in your vocab that ususally gets their attention. Sorry, I do over think things alot.

RE: Double Standard
Thanks everybody!

Summerqueen is right. I don't really care if they like me or not. I have good practice in not being liked for too many reasons.
The problem is that they decided to stop talking to me even in work related content. It's been pretty weird with those two girls these last few days, but at least I'm getting my work done again.

RE: Double Standard
As a rule, I have never brought up my religious views at work. It has suited me well. People have asked me before, and my answer was quoting the policy at work that discourages discussion of religious beliefs. A few people have glimpsed my Satanist Pendant that I keep hidden under my shirt because they pulled it out wondering what it was, but they then ignored the pendant and continued a healthy work relationship. I think you most certainly need to discuss the very disturbing behavior of your co-workers with your boss.
