I don’t know how to
She is a good coworker, meaning she knows her duties and has ample experience.
She is also a gossip and a person that will rant when somebody doesn’t greet her the way she believes she deserves to be greeted, or about how a coworker or manager wasn’t friendly to her. It’s both what she says and how she says it, like she was hurt.
I still don’t know if what she wants is that everyone stops doing their jobs when she enters the workplace to give her attention, because otherwise, apparently, people hate her. She is also very pretty. Not that I’d want a relationship with her, because this trait is very off putting.
I’ve already heard her saying I’m not friendly and I don’t know who should I react. I think it’s ridiculous to start giving her attention to keep the peace because I have things to do that pay my bills and it would be very draining, I cannot fake interest in things that bore me. I don’t understand why we can’t just do our jobs and go home.
“Thin skinned” seems the smallest of her problems.
She behaves very manipulative. You are not (mentally) strong enough to deal with that.
Keep your distance. Become independent of her in every way. Never justify yourself to her. Tell yourself that her judgement is absolutely irrelevant for you. It does not count.
If you can’t avoid to be at one of her ‘scenes’, you should avoid saying anything to her at all, and if needed, you can sometimes tell her to just stop it. But then don’t explain yourself - she knows what you mean anyway.
