Do you "dread" seeing anyone?

I dread seeing my ex-husband. He was absolutely crazy when we got divorced and I am so afraid of seeing him again. I wouldn't have to worry about it because we don't have children together. But, my brother-in-law is still friends with him. I am really afraid of the day when we run in to each other. I wish he wasn't still friends with him, but I don't really have much say in the matter. All I can do is pray that I never have to face him again.

Unfortunately in this type of situation you've got to choose between you or her. I had a friend who was similar to yours. He had a lot of issues that were not being addressed. He had social phobia, like me but he used it as an excuse to avoid all uncomfortable social contact. Whenever I'd confront him and tell him he needed to quit making excuses and work on his fear, he'd say that I was in therapy and on meds so I could do that, but he couldn't. So eventually I talked him in to going to therapy, which I had arrange and sit in the sessions with him. Which at the time was fine, I wanted to help. Then I began to realize he was blaming things on me to make himself look like a saint. There was a huge blowup in his circle of friends and one night he decides to tell me all his friends actually hated me and tried to blame the blowup on me. That was it, I had to make a decision, him or me, and I chose me. I felt bad at first about leaving him but sometimes no matter how hard you try you can't help someone if they don't want help. I hope everything works out and I wish you the best.

Well, I have certain friends that I know will, at some point of time in the encounter, find a way to put me down or to put someone else down. It's like the only way they can feel better about themselves is to put other people down.

I dread seeing anybody who wants something from me. I have a few family members who only stop by to say hi and can I borrow something. Family is family but when you only see them when they want something it kind of sucks.

There is somebody whom I hate seeing her face. She used to be a maid of my mother in law whome she sent to school. After she finished her college, that ungrateful girl simply left my mother in law who was then recuperating after an operation of her uterus. I hate to see that very ungrateful girl.

Hello Ilyzium. Oh yes I have had a few people in my life like that. I can take it for a little while then I have to tell them it is over. I can't handle people like this. I have a little sister that this made me think of she is just like this. I have had to run her off quite a few times. Now I have a sister in law just like this she is a pain in the you know where. We went to their house last week and I thought I was going to have to cuss her out before we left. Finally just exploded on her and now she is doing that pouting stuff and her husband thinks I am a bully for telling her off. Oh well for awhile we won't have to deal with her. The person that makes you feel this way can't you talk to her and tell her this is how she makes you feel? She might not even know that you feel like this, but I doubt it. Try and talk to her and if that don't work just tell her every time she calls that your busy and have other things to do. That is what we landed up doing cause we had a few friends like this. Heck one day last week one came over here and I just plain told them they were not welcome here and to never come back that is how bad they make us feel when they are around. Don't take BS you don't have to take it from anyone. Your a good person and deserve better people in your life. Talk to her and then if that don't work lose her as a friend. It isn't worth you feeling like poo every time you have to deal with her. Good luck and have a great day!

there have been times in my life where i have dreaded seeing certain people like people i worked with that i was having difficulty with or once i was in a bad situation with a roommate. but now i do not care and i do not let people intimidate me if i can help it. i realize that running into someone i do not necessarily want to see is not the end of the world and i will be fine if i have to confront someone.

The only time I dread seeing someone is at ceretain family reunions. If i know i will see someone where a bad sitauation will arise, i cringe. Seeing and exchanging words with someone i dread is a nightmare. The blow up will come. I just don't know when or how long it will last. Sometimes that bitterness passes onto others and makes a difficult situation worse.

I dread seeing people who are full of air on their head and can't do anything else than to further inflate their head with boastful tales. I also dread seeing people who are hypocrites.

I hate seeing my ex-step sister. She is quite similar to the woman you are describing! Her father was with my mother for a long time and when they split it was obviously difficult as I was living with the girl. For a long time we got on, the nshe started emotionally blackmailing me, which is quite easy to do I am so soft! This went on for a while until i moved in with my then husband, by that time ourt relationship had broken down nearly entirely, she had got rid of all the furniture in the front room apart from one sofa for her and her boyf so me and mine had to be in my room or out and various other things, The abusive texts and emials continued so i had her email and phone nimber blocked. Years went by and then she turned up again, marrrying one of my hubby's friends! We let her back in to the circle of friends, though she never apologised. Her marriage broke down, and though we were all supportive, she hit out at us saying we shouldn't be friends with her ex! What could we do!! It was like history repeating itself, she ruined nights out, sent abusive messages and emails and tried to emptionally blackmail me again. Luckily this time i have good friends and hubby with me who helped me stand up to herand get her out of my life. I now hide in the supermatket when i see her nad ignore anything about her! I feel so much better, she was poison to my life! Big rant - sorry!

In my opinion,when someone refuse to share something about themselves,that means something let him feel inferior.maybe she have no confidence in her eyes or some part of her body.she need a friend to encourage her patiently.
