[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once had an encounter with a "pretty mean girl" in a work situation and it ended poorly for me. She poisoned people against me so by the time I felt ready to complain to anyone about her behavior towards me, they were predisposed to dislike me (because she'd been spreading rumors about me for months) and then I wound up looking petty and jealous. Which was frustrating because I wasn't -- I may not be as pretty as she was, but I was happily married, liked my job, and had good friends outside of work and a nice life.

It became intolerable enough that I eventually left because I just felt like no on liked me there and I knew people were talking about me behind my back.

I still don't know what it was about me that made her decide to go after me. She didn't want my job (which was a niche role she wasn't qualified for anyway -- they had to hire someone new when I left), she wasn't after my husband, and she was pretty and professionally successful.

It will always be a mystery to me. This was years ago and I've emotionally moved on but It was very upsetting for me for years. If I saw people from that job on the street, I'd duck into a store to avoid interacting with them, and I intentionally avoided industry events where I thought I might run into her for several years.

Why are some women like this? I truly don't get it.[/quote]

Can almost guarantee that you were the problem, not her. And you totally lack insight. [/quote]
