Twin Flame and/or Soulmate

Hello!
I am having the most confusing time with a connection I’ve had recently.

A couple of years ago I started a new job about 2 weeks later a new person started as well. We worked in the same team for a while and when we met it was weird. We had a lot in common in our interests. And we were immediately very forthcoming about our past/insecurities. Which I have never been able to do with anyone!
At first I thought it was nice to be able to have a friend at work. But as time went by I had the weirdest feelings. Like I would have dreams of him in a specific color or wearing a hat and he would be in the exact items the next day.
I started to have problems sleeping through the night. When I saw him the next day he looked exhausted and said he hadn’t been sleeping well either.
About 8 months into our new jobs we find out we have the same birthday just different years. So we are exactly 4 years apart.
(Side note: the number 4 has been significant in this journey as well and my life path number is a 4)
I never felt anything but just a platonic relationship. However I don’t like how in tune I am with his feelings. If he feels sad, frustrated or anger I feel it too.
Ugh, I feel like insane person writing this out lol
This next part really freaked me out.
In early March he had a personal problem and had to leave work. No one knew if he would be coming back or if he was ok. Tbh I was relieved 😅 and for the first time I had peace.
But about a week ago I had the most vivid dream of him and before that I kept seeing signs like his name everywhere. It was getting on my nerves. Then about 4 days ago he comes back to work!
And now that intense energy is back and getting to me.
His energy is strange and I have to find ways to avoid him. Don’t know if it’s time to just leave this job, which I don’t want to since I like it, but it’s getting harder to be around him.
I don’t hate him or have any ill feelings I just don’t understand him. Our interactions are awkward and weirdly charged.
I started to look into twin flames and thought this was what I am going through.
I’ve started to reflect on what needs to change in my life if that’s the case.
How do I move on from this? Will I need to leave my job to be able to have peace again? I used to be a non believer when it came to soul ties/connections. But this experience has completely changed my outlook.
