. Well it's probably a more sure-fire way to find out. . I do believe it. As the more loopy you act, the more scared some will get.

It really depends on the situation. Normally I would go with the d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f. approach.

Good advice. And, welcome to the forums after 5 years on Mingle!

Sometimes (often) instant dislike is not about you at all, it's based on perception, beliefs, past experience, even gossip...Don't let another persons unresolved issues, bad memories, guilt, or baggage affect you in a negative way...If you did nothing to cause her to dislike you, stand your ground and stay true to yourself...You have no control over another persons actions, thoughts, or feelings... The most important thing is not about confronting her, retaliating, or stooping to her level...The most important thing is how your handle yourself when the situation presents...

Or they'd bash you in the head with a sledgehammer.

First, google "sociopath" and do a little intense research on the subject. If that sounds like her, then you must customize your technique in order to protect yourself. We either learn how to recognize them or we become their victims.
If she is not disordered, then "act as if" her behavior does not bother you. It may take a while and its easier said than done, but eventually she will give up and move on to someone else who will give her the reaction that she wants. Good Luck

I like this quote alot'
because it reminds me
of a saying someone told
me long ago,you cant change
anybody you can only change
how you react to them.

I wonder if you might be dealing with a bully. They target those that they see as more competent than they are.

Maybe shes having a bad week ,or
feeling shes not adaquate
or any number of reasons

but it gives her no reason
to act the way she is to you.
maybe just be upfront and ask her
it seems like your upset with me are you .
but if i was there id trip her
in the hall for you or drop
exlax in her cofee cup,
your to sweet for her beign as
that to you,I hoep it gets better.

or ignore her and move on to focus on those who are positive to her.....another tidibt from counseling is that she is not responsible for...

1. this person's negative behavior
2. this persons' feelings of dislike (if they are there and if not go back to #1).
3. to make a relationship with this person work- not the OP's problem

if someone is negative toward you it really is THEIR problem to solve - jealousy over someone else's good looks or performance at work is childish and it's up to the person who has those feelings to grow up and resolve them AND to start behaving appropriately - miss negativity is NOT her (OP) responsilbilty

i tell them they are dead to me and then i poop on their door step

wow and I thought I was being a little radical

your comment makes me feel pretty mainstream and a lot less funky

that's how i roll

they just tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty

Ok, so now that I really do feel like I'm back in elementary school, lol. Apparently she has resorted to some childish behavior with other employees as well. I think it's only a matter of time before she's gone. I just decided to keep my mouth shut, be nice to her when I have to speak to her, otherwise I stay away from her. Anyways, thank you everyone

eh

some have nuthin to do

ride on

just hope they don't make her y'alls boss

(kidding)

good luck to you - ya, usually people who cause problems for you have also done so elsewhere....I agree

This is why hard hats were invented.

thank you
