  • Remember it is them not you! For whatever reason, this person treats you like dirt, but is as nice as pie to everyone else...or so it seems. You are not the only person he/she is treating this way. But you don't know the others. Remember, her true colors will come out. In the mean time, you have to be almost overly polite. A big fat fake smile and a little bit of professionalism can go a long way.

    I believe they are mean towards you because they are envious of you.... Especially if you've never done anything to them. It is all a trick to make you feel bad about yourself. That is their goal... to bring you down.

    I think it may be a power thing. People like this act this way because they don't feel powerful enough in some aspects of their life, and when they act this way toward you and see that they are able to get to you/ control you (probably because they detect some sort of weakness in you and they latch onto it), it makes them feel powerful. They're heartless, mean-spirited assholes who are not going to get far in life, because people who will get far in life don't need to act this way in order to feel powerful.
    Marie, I think your advice on how to deal with them is spot-on. I've dealt with a coworker like this - she'd never make mean or nasty comments to me, but she does things such as making me feel excluded in meetings - when she talks, she would avoid eye contact with me, even if she's talking about something that I am working on as well. At first, it really got to me. I don't know what I did wrong and it really bothered me. I even spoke with her about it and she feigns ignorance. Now, after years in the workplace, I start to see people like her for who they really are. And I'm not even angry anymore, I just feel pity for them that they need to act that way. You're absolutely right. It's not you, it's them. You keep doing you and let the assholes fall apart on their own.

It's unfortunately very common for women to compete with each other not just with looks but with everything. I don't know if men do that too. Rather than trying to lessen the unintended threat of looks or intelligence, it's best to find people with confidence who would welcome you as a friend.

    I notice being cold DOES help!
    There is this creepy security guard at my Walmart. He doesn't work every night, but he is there simply there to check your receipt when you leave, and his only commentary should be "have a nice day." Well, and he only does this to me, he would ask personal questions, like "are you upset or in a bad mood or having a bad day?" Just because I wasn't smiling. I felt off guard and so I passively said "I'm tired." Next time I saw him, I would try and put on a happy demeanor. He asked me if I was tired, again. Then the next time, told me I should get more sleep. Just being really unprofessional and taunting. I would look down whenever I saw him. I finally got fed up, and I had a list of comebacks from friends. Things like "it's so funny how you can't do the simple task of checking off of a damn receipt." I was ready to rip at him, I approached him, looking straight at him instead of shying. He asked me how I was and I said "fine." In a cold, sharp, even tone. He started to say "you look..." then stopped and said "have a nice day." He still makes me nervous but I try not to shrink away. I find ignoring and walking away helps too.

    • @shan4883
      @shan4883 5 лет назад +1

      Men like that are just insecure. They need to pause for a second that we are all human beings, not walking around with a God-damn smile on our faces 24/7! We all have personal lives and problems we deal with. They make it about them when it has nothing to do with them! What if you just went to a funeral that day and it was someone that passed away close to you, I would smack him if he said that I look mad, or in a bad mood. A lot of insecure guys have thought that way about me too if I pass by them and not smile when I'm tired. I struggle with anemia, which most people don't know about either and work late nights, so it can become very draining after I get off work and I don't want to be around anyone at all. Some guys has taken that personally as I bike pass them, they literally chase after me! I'm like "I'm like what the hell?" I've called the cops many times on people like that and there were guys that were rejected by me and they are just plain mean afterwards! They don't just ask me how things are going... they have to just hurt me! If someone hurts you, they don't care at all about themselves, sadly and I did with him. He once did care about me too until his friends got too involved and he was this nice guy before they did. Now, he just avoids going out near my building and had seen him tonight for the first time in a month with his friend and they think I'm always watching for them, so they laugh about it. I watch behind a window like anyone does and I glare back at them and ignore them afterwards. Why do they think its ok tell me what to do? I'm not allowed to look out the window? Why are they so insecure? I started to look at them differently now. I do watch out for them so I can see how he's doing. I remember how hurt he was and I couldn't ask how he was doing from his friends being too much around him. Sadly, he punishes me without getting to know me and will never know that I'm in a long distance relationship thats been hard for me, which is why I rejected him. He always wondered why.. but he never got an answer. He'll never know if he doesnt ask me.

    For me, I've been watching a lot of psychological videos ever since I graduated high school, and I recommend that you guys do the same, not to be an ass, but to better your chances in the social hierarchy.
    From what I've learned, your reaction to anything dictates your social status, you can be the ugliest person in the room and still garner the respect of everyone based on behavior. You don't have to be prince or princess charming to get respect, but you do need to be confident, loosen yourself up a little, it's okay to be firm or serious, but if you're like that all the time, the person who's messing with you can use that against you.
    To put it simply, you can A. Not give them a reaction and ignore them, or B. Hop on their comment and hit them back with something just as mean, in a playful, joking way. Don't be afraid to make eye contact either, or give pause for yourself to think.
    I'm still a bit new to this but I've applied it to my life and I feel like I'm already growing up, you should do the same.

He might be so surprized that you or anyone think of him as a good person, so he may well try to live up to that !!! ... If he continues, simply walk away with your head held high....

However, having witnessed her talking behind others backs and mine as well as other deeds, I know better.
      Because some others do not see her without that mask, I now find that over the years, I am slipping away from those that circle her. It used to hurt, but as years pass, not as much.

    not always true. I was bullied out of my job by someone like this Mel BUT I have recently found out that the bully did not prosper. She's off earning even less than she was before now. It's not fair that she got away with the bullying (it's true, no higher powers want to deal with bullying, the bully always wins the minute you report it cos they lie, lie, lie and cowards back them up) but karma got her :-)

I'm really using these techniques in my life and the outcome is perfect .. I really appreciate it thank you so much.

She uses the same technique as she did so successfully at work -telling them I have problems and big flaws, pretend to be concerned, and initiate a collaboration. All the time she is trying to get information about me and smear my reputation more. In my job this led me to have a breakdown, and I withdrew from everybody. Everybody thought i was crazy.. I can see that I didn't handle it well, but what can I do now? Can I stop her from winning again?

    I have had this happen to me numerous times over the years. You ignore it and the bullies just increase the bullying until I bite their heads off! Then they are looking as if you did something to them. These are so called grown people. I've been bullied because of my religion and religious beliefs that I don't automatically share until someone asks me why I don't do this or that, or I was being bullied because of my work ethic (can you believe this?)....just because I was concerned about getting my work done properly, then I've been bullied within religious congregations because I was quiet or nice and thought they could just covertly bully me and get away with it, or I've been bullied because of physical appearance - I don't look my age or I'm thin or because of the way I dress and even at one point because I was a single mother who owned a home and once I married I had single females bully me because now I was married. What's so killing about it, I'm not thinking any of this stuff, just going about my way. I even had a woman tell me she thought of me as a sister until she found out my age and that I had a daughter that's in her 20's. She then said now I don't like you and jealous. Can you imagine???? The only thing I applaud this woman on is that she was honest. Others will just bully you and make snide remarks because of their insecurities. There are so many insecure people...you find them at every turn now. SAD!!!

The sad part is she’s my cousin and I make it so I don’t want her around me but she makes it a point to sit next to me. She acts real nice around others when conversing with them and when I ask her a question she literally hisses at me. She has talked about my sister and my brother in law’s finances and even gets upset that I don’t care about that info. She talks about other family stuff which annoys me. Honestly, talking about her riled me up. I don’t even want to go to family parties if she’s there. Sad, isn’t it? My mom was the one that opened my eyes on my cousin’s badmouthing dilemma. Yet mom talks to her now like she’s all goody two shoes. We’re in our adult age with kids. Am I being childish? 🙁

Over time, I have gotten a lot better at my job and very rarely makes mistakes but she is still the same. She is really condescending and talks down to me and always acts really irritated when we have to work together, but then as soon as someone else comes along she is super nice, charming, acts like their best friend and I always end up feeling like she's gaslighting me or playing mind games. All I can do is limit the time I'm around her and stay out of her way because she's made it really clear through her behavior that I'm her biggest enemy, even though I haven't done anything to her

It's starting to really get to me. It's like there's this negative cycle or pattern that I can't figure out how to leave! The past 2 years I've been doing a lot of emotional, spiritual, and psychological healing work and reflection. I had been suffering with a lot of emotional flashbacks (CPTSD,) but other than that I've found that I give too much and am too nice when compared to the majority of the local population.

He might feel as if he owes her,it sounds like she is a mother figure to him. But that should not allow her to control your life. There is nothing you can do about his graduation date. But after that, when he is more financially independent, he might pull away from her. If he doesn't talk to him about it, not her.
