I don't know why this girl was acting funny around me. I mean she's trying to retort and pipe in at every turn, not caring to conceal her disdain on me. I don't know her but she seems to know me better than I to her. She's a chummy of those popular girls and boys at work. Maybe that makes her so antagonistic. I just can't stand people getting so heroic and righteous for their sharp-tongued friends. She doesn't know the beginning and end of it, but why is she feeling so superior over me? Or is it just my imagination? I'm getting paranoid when those people are concerned.

well some people just think for some reason that "there meat can be eaten" a popular Jamaican saying best to do is ignore them as they just love the attention no matter what kind

You need to rise above this girl and her friends. She's precocious and trying to appear superior to the others, in order to gain their friendship but sooner or later, she will come undone. The best way to treat this is just to smile at her, maybe ask her, "how are you, today?", and just carry on going about your business. In other words, don't come down to her level... fight spite with kindness. I guarantee she'll be lost for words and will soon tire of being so horrible. Good luck with this... you're the superior one if you can grin and bear this for long enough. Brightest Blessings.

I'm thinking, if everyone was laughing, she was probably just joking around. Maybe she doesn't have the tenacity that I have in that I would do that to someone if I KNOW that the person I'm doing something like this to would DEFINITELY be laughing with us. If you have a fast mind, next time she starts in on you, somehow, make her retorts bounce back in her face & get everyone laughing even harder. Eerrrr - did I mention that I can be a real prankster?

Well don't get paranoid just smile that grips them. It took me a long time to learn that, think what you like inside and cry when you are out of Sight but when you are around her Smile even if she does not Smile back, you are better then her. Hugs to you

This girl is not going to stop, so you may as well learn how to snap back in such a way that makes her look like the a*s she's being.

It sounds like she might be intimidated by you and is trying to make you look bad because it will make her look better. If she truly thought she was "better" than you and superior than you, then she wouldn't bother with you and would ignore you. Instead, she seems to be paying a lot of attention to you and trying to put you down. There is a reason for that and it is usually because the mean person is insecure. Good luck and don't let her get you down. It's her that has the problem.

I usually just ignore those type of people and just go about doing whatever it was I am doing. She is trying to make you feel inferior to herself, thus making herself look more superior in here friend's eye view. If it gets to be to much just tell to back off and to leave you alone. You aren't some toy which she can use to amuse herself when the timing is right nor you aren't gonna be used as an object to wow her friends with. I hope things start going better for you soon.

It is only normal that we encounter people who behave this way toward us, once in a while. It just so happens that they intimidate us. Then there are times when we will find ourselves facing them squarely by asking them 'Is there anything wrong, miss? Or do you find anything about me funny?' When we do this, they usually turn away, although I have encountered some who are friendly enough and a conversation shall ensue.

Don't mind them. They are just people who have issues within themselves. Some people need to feel superior by letting down other people. Just ignore them and I'm pretty sure it just annoy them more when they see that it has no effect on you.
