[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-

I am not bitter about my circumstances. I used to work in another field and switched to something with fewer hours and less stress/responsibility when I rejoined the workforce after being home with small children for several years.

So do you need to feel superior to her because of your upbringing vs hers and because you know you could do better than being a secretary and she can't?  So when she talks about what she buys, you feel you need to cut her down so she doesn't come across as better than you?   Because that's kind of how you come across on here[/quote]

OP, I know people are being harsh but I can kind of understand all this. This woman is not very self-aware. Tons of people on Facebook are not self-aware. They just don't realize how they come across. I am painfully self-aware, to the point where I stay up night after night second guessing myself on everything. I have had to work on this.

As a PP said, you can only control your own reactions to this. It probably feels good to vent. There is not some magical way to tell people how they come across, how they are acting, how they should be acting, what is classy and what is not (that is what DCUM is for!). It's not HS where any straying from the pecking order gets a harsh smackdown and everyone stays in their place.

People will just naturally distance themselves from people that turn them off. People will notice or they will remain oblivious. It is what it is. Just try to do other things instead of hanging with coworker who turns you off. Focus on work. Do errands during lunch. Distance.[/quote]
