[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why put yourself around someone that makes you feel less than?
My H is a highly educated man with a stellar education, some of his friends that he is still friends with married from within their school (Yale). Those women admittedly intimidate me. I could not be friends at least with 2 of them who are major intellectual snobs who think their lives are untouchable.  They make me feel like crap and I am a fairly well educated gal.

So I am polite, see them when I must and do what is required but that's it. I don't believe in making myself be friends with anyone for any reason and if someone does not make me feel good/happy then it is just not a compatible friendship. Be nice do what you need to do but don't force yourself to be friends with her.[/quote]

The difference is that the person OP describes is nice.  OP's feelings are hers to own.  No one can make you feel bad about yourself.  You do it to yourself.  There's a difference between avoiding someone because you don't like them and avoiding them because you feel inadequate.[/quote]
