Have you ever had someone in your life and YOU KNOW they don't like you? And it isn't that they do anything overt or coarse or nasty... it is something else. Something in the way they look at you when they don't think you are paying attention. Something in the curl of their lip when they talk to you or the way they don't respond to you directly? Something you can't quite put your finger on but you KNOW it is there. You know that you just irk them - for some reason.
But you can't confront them. Because if you do - they get all faux surprised.
'WHAT? Really? I don't know why you would think that I don't like you!' And you - of course - can't put it into words or point to a spot in the timeline of your relationship to illustrate why you know they don't like you.
That bugs me. Don't compound it by making me look like a paranoid freak. I am not. I just KNOW when someone actively dislikes me. It's hard NOT to know.
Don't get me wrong ... i know plenty of people don't like me. And I know there are plenty of reasons not to like me. And I don't particuarly give a fat flying F about the folks who don't care for me and it isn't about trying to win anyone over. I just can't stand the emotional dishonesty and the game of pretending that I get along with people who clearly do not care one iota for me.
If I love you - I love you so much my heart will break for you.
If I like you - I will smile for you and you will know that you are a blessing to my life.
If I dislike you - I wil pretty much tell you by word or by deed. And if you ask me if I dislike you - I will tell you the things about you that make me less likely to want to be near you. And to be truthful - if I don't like you it is probably because I don't like something about myself and I recognize it in you. Most people are like that - they just don't want to admit it.
I don't hate.
And I am rarely indifferent to anyone that I know. I like you. Or I don't.
But at least I am honest about it.

Re: My current pet peeve
I haven't had a pedicure in a month.
I could spear a fish with my big toe. At least they don't smell like Asiago.

Re: My current pet peeve
I happened to not care anymore about those people. I used to a lot more when I was younger. Not for the fact that they did not like me but because of the hypocric way to do .
I have learned the game though. I work in Corporate. I know politics and how to do it too(I am a pretty good actress!) but I know who does what. It's all a game.
In my personal life, I lean out of those people. I don't need any negativity or fake people in my personal life.
