How should I handle this situation?
My manager went on a vacation. She came back and had a meeting on some ongoing issue. I asked her "How was your vacation?" ( it was a 9 day vacation). She said: Umm, leave that and let's talk about the issue.I was like okay okay! It would have been nice to atleast say in a short sentence - was a nice trip, lets talk about the issue though. Am I overthinking? Or was that a douche move and ignore my question where I was being nice to her. CTC: 19 LPA
I wouldn't say thinking too hard ; she seemed dismissive, which is fine. There are more subtle ways to go about it imo

Can confirm. I was the husband
Overthinking-She just came back from vacation. Probably got a shit ton going on. And you guys are in a meeting to address an issue- not a touch base call. No need to react, just get the issue on hand resolved.
Probably it was a bad trip ? She doesnt want to talk about it? Always give benefit of doubt.
1. Give bad feedback about her because she wasn't ultra-perfect-nice in one instance out of the hundreds of hours she spends speaking with you
2. Give good feedback about the guys you get along with because they are your bros and they say the terriblest things but not because they are douches but because you trust each other and you're bros
3. Never ask yourself why women have a harder time getting ahead career-wise when there is no discrimination at play
Exactly, I'm getting so tired of coworkers complaining how b*tchy or bossy their teammate or manager is (who happens to be a woman) for asking them to do the bare minimum.And then they get completely sh*t on for not delivering or being incompetent and saying wow thanks for the honest feed back when it's a guy that's the manager or coworker.If someone is technically incompetent that's one thing, if your b*tching just bc someone other than a guy said it GTFO bro

You are overthinking
Just open up or initiate small talk with the ones who are open for the same. By this you understood she dosent want to maintain any out of office conversation so leave it and relax.
People are particular abt such things and it's not bad to do so.

In one word "chill"
I don't think that's that big of an issue, people choose what they want to or don't want to share, and this is absolutely fine imo
