Confused by manager's behaviour

Hello my manager is a woman. I have 4 to 5 examples to share. Whenever she notices me helping some female colleagues she starts getting restless maybe. I see her ears or attention focused and seeing me repeatedly like for a microsecond all in a tightened look. This has happened with female who are there from even before her to those who are freshers. She directly tells me don't help her. Why are you giving her so much help. Then she starts uttering in hindi these lines. Kon thi. Utna karne ki koi jaroorat nhi h. She's not a hindi speaker while I am by the way. Now I have never noticed this when I am giving any guidance to other boys. She seems to be overjoyed probably. What's going on. Am I overthinking? Is there anyone who has experienced their manager behaving this way?

I am not sure you are thinking in the direction this question was intended for. I am not and really never thought the angle you may be pointing to. Anyway I am in 20s she's probably 40. I really wanted to understand why is she being probably discriminating persons of which seems to be from one gender and appreciating when I help others. I wanted its answer in a professional point of view.

She has a sweet crush on you 🥰 Give in to her feelings and ask her out. Maybe sing a song for her in front of office and surprise her with Heart holding teddy bear. Message her relentlessly 12 am to 4am with naughty chit chats. Bc sweep her off her feet. Female managers are o ma garu taroo lob.

As I have said I am seeking professional opinions and not in any other way.

Might be because during initial phase of her career nobody helped her. So she might be in revenge mode. Actually women don’t like other women to grow fast.

Not sure why you are over analysing someone's behaviour. You can think all you want and still might be a mile away from the real reason. Still i will throw in my 2 cents. A- Contrary to other comments,It could be that she is wary of you and your intentions towards female colleagues. She might think of you as a threat to them. Why are you going around helping females anyway? It's courting trouble in any work place.

B- She might think you helping others would take you away from your own tasks. She is a manager after all. She would always ask you to focus on your own tasks.

C- She might be a person who hates when opposite genders mingle at the workplace. Have you paid attention to how she reacts when other male- female colleagues interact? It might not just be you.

D- She likes you in a platonic way and thinks the girls might be taking advantage of you.

E- She likes you in a non platonic way. You can think of this if you want an ego boost.

Whatever the reason, listen to her, as she is your boss. Not doing so might make your office life difficult. If someone needs your help, they should be coming to you, not the other way around.

And stop overthinking and over analysing situations. Work hard and party Harder. All the best.

No no she's doing it for all females who are much older than her or any new joinee. Also she is not the boss but just a manager whose prime responsibility is to manage work and not to command. There is no authority. So boss word should be discarded as it shows a slave mentality. Next she is not wary of the females as those females sit with me invite me to their personal treats like say birthday or marriages or children birthday etc. which means probably all females feel comfortable around me. Again that's our personal relationship and a manager has no authority to even think of that.

If she has no authority, then why bother? Into one ear and out of another.
Stop overthinking. Enjoy your social life. And bro, we are all corporate slaves.
Over and out.

She seems to have her own personal reasons for this behaviour. Probably she wasn’t helped in her career. Probably someone helped her and then took advantage of her in some way. We don’t know.
The next time she asks you not to help any girl, Politely ask her what’s wrong in helping this particular girl. You can also tell your boss that by understanding her reasons you would be able to make a better decision yourself in future.
