I had no idea what was going on so I send them an email asking whats going on, that I don't know why out of no where they stop talking to me and that I felt ignored by them. I got no reply and they continue to ignore me, I felt bad at first I thought to myself maybe I said or did something to anger them. Since they did not bother to reply or tell me straight out what was going on I also gave them the silent treatment. My question is am I wrong for feeling okay with it, I don't want to talk to them either, but I don't want to think I'm being mean-am I being mean.

 You didn't say how long you've worked with them. It could be a number of things. Maybe they heard a rumor that you got a raise and they didn't. Maybe they're jealous about the way you look, who you are dating, the life you live. Maybe they feel you get special favors from higher ups than they do so it's more of a work rival now than a co-worker situation. Could be your personalities just don't match up. If so, just do your job, get advancement if you can and leave them in the dust. One day you may be their boss, then they'll sorely regret acting like this when you are in the position to fire them.

Finding out by sending emails as to what went wrong was an attempt on your part to get things straight. Since they did not reply you need not worry about it as one or the other day you will come to know the real reason as these things rarely go unheard. Whatever it is , as long as you do not remember doing anything wrong on your part you can chill. Even if something you said or done has hurt someone unknowingly you can always give a heartfelt apology later and ultimately this matter will die down.
