i think my biggest pet peeve
is people who are awkward. maybe because i feel awkward from time to time and when others are awkward around me it reminds me of my own short comings. or maybe because I think of myself as a very approachable person. maybe not overwhelmingly energetic but easy to talk too, none the less. too easy to talk too from time to time.
there is a man that i work with who irritates me to no end. he acts like he desperately wants to talk to me and be friends with me. the sad thing is other that this infuriating personality trait he seems fine, he is friendly and competent at his job.
He seems to reek of desperation. is he attracted to me? or does he need EVERYONE to like him?
I mean if i work with someone and they don't seem to like me, or don't seem to have anything to say to me I don't take it personally and I only interact with them in a professional manner. He(man x) and the man(man y) who works in the office behind mine walked through my office together discussing something, when guy Y's phone ring. So man x walks out of man y's office into mine, to wait. and he must know i don't like him because of the numerous curt exchanges we've had before. So he is standing behind me, in my office while I am working diligently sorting papers. after literally 40seconds of not saying anything he asks 'how is your architecture class going?'.
now the whole not getting into the arch school i wanted to/ deciding arch isn't what I really want to do anyway is a sore subject for me. He didn't know this, yet it really really didn't make me want to be courteous to him at all. call me a bitch, but whatever.
I tell him I'm not taking any architecture courses. and finally man Y ends his phone call and man X enters his office to talk to him. after they are done Many X walks out of Man Y's office into mine and looks for a long time at my Despair.com poster;
now he isn't originally from america, but he is from an english speaking county.
and he turns to me and says while pointing at the print "yes but the thing is, after it goes black it gets light again". sigh. and I then inform him it is a joke.
his native language is English surely he has heard of the expression.
I despise him. every interaction I have with him makes me like him less.
It's almost like we are wolves. with every action he tries to diffuse any aggression towards him by acting overtly submissive. I am not by nature a Dominant person, and when I see someone who acts submissive to me I think it makes me despise them. Isn't that how it goes in wolf packs. The alpha's are somewhat aggressive but as you go down the totem pole the lower you are the more aggressive you are to those below you?
