[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this thread, it's hard to tell the difference between (1) people who genuinely don't know what OP is talking about and have not encountered people like this, (2) people who know exactly what OP is talking about, think they might be being called out, and are honestly just trying to defend their behavior, and (3) people who know what OP is talking about, know they are like that, and are true to form being manipulative and gaslighting because that's what they do.[/quote]
You missed the people who realize OP is a grown-up, who should be capable of making friends with people she chooses.[/quote]

The sort of people OP is talking about aren't friends. They are these aggressive women who just try to dominate social situations. OP's post was about avoiding them because they are annoying.

Making friends is a separate issue.[/quote]

None of that is difficult to do and none of this is worthy of a post.

Even my 12 yo could tell you that. Just avoid the drama llamas or shallow people.

Obviously if you one day turn around and 90% of everyone you ever met you’ve chosen to label as shallow, maybe you have the perception problem. [/quote]

It obviously was "worthy of a post" as it's generated over 15 pages of comments, including many people relating that they struggle with the same personality type. I have appreciated the discussion specifically on what to say or do to neutralize women who behave this way, or how to get them to leave you along and move onto the next person. I am one of the people who has a woman like this in my life now and it's been really helpful in thinking of ways I might change how I interact with her so that she doesn't bother me so much. I don't think anyone has claimed "90%" of people are like this -- it's obvious from the start that it's a select few people behaving this way but they have an outsize impact on others because of their nature.

If you don't think it's a problem, there is no reason for YOU to post in the thread. Go hang out with your 12 year old. [/quote]
