Thanks for the kind words. It's kind of hard not to blame yourself when your obviously being blamed, but it is the challenge at hand. Unfortunately I have to work with this woman and see her from day to day. She's very happy acting like nothing is ever wrong but it was really eating at me so I had to ask.
I still wonder how it is holier to be passive about your aggression (as this woman is).
She said some hurtful things to me the other day, but somehow it ends up looking like I am the villain for whatever sin I committed years ago that I don't even remember. I am not to be trusted, we are too 'neurotic' to be friends...and she can just walk away in all her self righteousness (she's the yoga teacher I talked about awhile ago).She said she hoped that now that I brought this up things wouldn't be awkward and we could go back to normal. I said that things really weren't 'normal' as far as I was concerned and that's why I brought it up to begin with.
But as my boss said (even though I find this a bit ouchy) 'What other people think of me is none of my business". It's her choice; if she doesn't want me as a friend there's nothing I can do about it. Nor would I want to at this point. But I do have to see her and her oversmiling 'Everything's just beautiful' yogini presentation everyday---when I'd like to just haul off and punch her one.
