[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These people are at every level of SES. I grew up as a poor immigrant and now live in an affluent area.

I find it easy to avoid them. I never hung out with those types of people.[/quote]

How do you avoid them? Tell me your ways.

-- a person dealing with someone like this at work and in my social life and so annoyed[/quote]

When I was a kid, I was a tomboy. I never dealt with these type of queen bee girls when I was young. I didn’t like them when I was a kid, in college or grad school. I worked with mostly men. I always had a handful of friends I genuinely liked.

Of course these women exist and I’m friendly with them. They are not my cup of tea and it is really easy not to socialize with them personally. I am friendly acquaintances with them.[/quote]

That is great.

I really struggle with this type because when I was younger (especially my 20s and early 30s) I admired these women and basically wanted to be them, which brought me into their orbit. I mean, they are working to do this to people so basically I was just susceptible to their self-promotion. Then I got very burned by one, learned my lesson, and now seek to avoid them. But it's hard for me to be a "friendly acquaintance" with them because they get under my skin. Yes I am insecure and they trigger my insecurities. I wish I wasn't but you can't just stop being insecure via sheer will. Also because of that very bad experience with a woman like this, my self-esteem took a beating and now I feel kind of scared of these women.

I really wish I didn't.[/quote]
