I've noticed something about myself
I've noticed something about myself that's kind of confounding. Some people inherently annoy me more than others. And it's really not fair. Two people could do or say exactly the same thing and it would drive me crazy for one person and I'd be completely fine for the other. I have no idea why that is. Maybe it's the tone of voice or the attitude projected. I really haven't got a clue why it would be, but there are just some people who can't seem to win with me, and I have to constantly remind myself not to get mad at them. One person, in particular. I find myself telling myself just about every day that that's just the way she is and that I shouldn't take it as a personal jab at me when she talks to me like I have the IQ of an ant. I think that's it. She talks to me like I'm incompetent. And she could be telling me the EXACT same thing someone else told me, but from her, it's insulting. From anyone else, it's fine. <.shrug> And that translates into just about anything she says or does getting on my nerves. I take that back. I like her a lot. She's a good person and a decent friend. She just has some interpersonal communication issues. ha ha. I just find myself struggling to NOT talk to her the way she talks to me. I have to force myself not to get annoyed with her. Ah well. Such is life, right?
