Please tell me if my reaction to co-worker is normal? |

There is a lady in my office who has always been troublesome to me. For the most part, I have been able to get along with her on the surface but she has thrown a lot of uncalled for, insulting remarks to me. We are both about the same age and she had gone through a period when she was always reminding me that I was not young anymore. I told her that I wasn't old. She replied that I wasn't young, like her daughter who is about 28. I was very hurt by that. I told her that she must never speak to me about that sort of thing again. Yesterday, she brought in her daughter and infant granddaughter to introduce to everyone. I took pains to avoid them. I ran around the office for about 15 minutes, until they were gone. I just don't feel comfortable "making nice" to this woman and her daughter. Can you see my point of view in this? Please tell me if I am justified feeling this way. Thank you. |

jouli:And here begins my problem. When we are alone...he opens up a lot more to me and is more serious with me..642-873.instead of making light conversation and making me laugh all of the time. He even took my phone and gave me his number, then after he gave me back my phone he took out his phone without saying anything. Then I said..83-640..."do you want me to give you my number?" and then he gave it to me and said sure really fast.646-363 After I finished putting my number in he asked me ...642-524."so by the way ( with a slight inflection in his voice and a smirk on his face ) why did you give me your number?" and i said because he gave me his.

jouli:I may be accused of many things, but not of placing high value on humanity. How about a high value on science and reason?000-102 They’re often good places to start. Neither religion nor belief in a “higher power” keep one from getting too arrogant; a good education,000-200 however, best web hosting can. 000-201 When you learn enough and learn how to reason well, it can help reinforce just how little we really do know.000-210 That can prevent one from being so pompous as to assume they know it all.

harleygirl:
Don't make this woman's issues yours. You can't change her, you can only change how you react to her. If she makes comments to you again, just say, "We're about the same age, so you must think God made a mistake with you. Personally, I think he did a pretty good job with me."
