I generally like most people, can always find something good or sweet in most people, but lately almost EVERYONE I work with is getting on my nerves....from the suitemate who pesters me about finding a new job or camping out in my office so I can't get away from her.
To a married coworker who I think has a thing for me and who has to hover around me most of the 8 hours I'm here, sitting way too close to me a lot of times, and touching me (just pats on shoulder or whatever, nothing weird, but I don't like it), and calling me on my cell every day right after we leave work.
Or the female coworker desperate for a husband, who has no girlfriends and only hangs out with women so she can get to new men.
So, since these people are getting on my nerves way more than usual, has something changed about me? I don't feel any more miserable than usual. :-) When someone hates a lot of people, I have always believed that person has to look inside himself to see why he's so unhappy, so that's what *I* am doing....I just don't see much difference.
Now, there are some people I have genuine affection for, actually deeper than usual. Maybe I'm just feeling *everything* more deeply than usual....I dunno.
Any insight or tips on how to not let people get on my nerves?
Thanks,
Susan
