[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For starters, I wouldn't necessarily agree with those "close to you" that she's jealous. Maybe she just doesn't like you for reasons that have nothing to do with your *koff* enviable position as a young, intelligent, attractive, married woman, as opposed to a old, ugly, divorcee.

I think there's a good possibility that you're socially a bit more tone-deaf than you think you are. If you see yourself as a winner because of your youth/beauty/marriage and her as a loser because of same, chances are it's coming through in the way you act towards her.

OP here - you're right. That is what others have said, but it probably has more to do with her than with me. I know some will get up in a tizzy because I mentioend the young/attractive angle; some people seem to get really annoyed when women acknowledge their own attractiveness (by the way, I don't think that I'm that great anyway, so I'm not going to respond to the inevitable accusations that I am "full of myself.") Just echoing what others have said.

I see a lot of narcissistic tendencies with the supervisor. I have a good relationship with my other coworkers and some of them have told me that they are starting to get frustrated by her. She does have a stubborn, might-makes-right personality but it really rears itself in my direction constantly.[/quote]
