Why People Hate You...

[Trilby]

because tw brought it up and seems to be seriously interested in my own behaviour here I will tell him: tw, I am very self conscious in class as I am nearly always the oldest student in the room. I am very careful to remember that these are very, very young adults---kids, dare I say?---that I am with. Recalling my own young college days and my own family, I try hard to be kind to them all, knowing all the insecurities and jealousies and pettiness and angst about the grown up world ("what shall i do? will I be able to make a living? what if my boyfriend dumps me? Will he dump me when he finds out I've a wart on my toe? Why do I hate random people?") that they may have. I've done NOTHING to this girl. I've smiled nicely at her when she has made comments about works, I've encouraged her (along with the rest of the class) to share her work, and that's about IT. Now, is it possible that she sees me as some harpie with a loud mouth? No. I rarely say anything in class that isn't related to the work. this is a YOUNG class and they get off topic frequently, talk among themselves frequently (which I do not join in as is inappropriate for someone their mother's age to banter like that about drinking and smoking pot and hooking up, etc) so. NO. I've done nothing to her, said only kind things to her and congratulated her on 'getting into grad school'. She said it was some school in Portland OR. and I said, "oh, that is a lovely place, I think you will really like it there," clearly, a confrontational statement, right tw?

If you had READ my first post, you would see that I explained I'd done nothing that I could see in my most scrutinizing mind to annoy this young woman.
But you don't know how to read. You only know how to write.

Posted was only a summary from facts as provided. Any consideration for 'being nice' or consoling or trying to psychoanalyze anyone has no place in what was posted. Provided were conclusions based only upon the facts - nothing more.

I have no interest in Brianna's behavior because it was not relevant. Nothing posted says anything about 'behavior', liking someone, hating someone, or all those other irrelevant details.

Only suggestion was so simple: "But what is she thinking? What does she see? Why would see be this way?" Brianna - where did all your conclusions and emotions come from? Why speculate so much drama from so tiny sentences? How do you see so much when that post was complete devoid of any silly emotions or judgements? I am mildly entertained. A match to only provide enlightenment instead will create a massive explosion. This could be the beginning of a pulp fiction plot line. [Did I mention I bleed only in true blue?]

Meanwhile, "But what is she thinking? What does she see? Why would see be this way?" Did you forget the question?

If you had READ my first post, ... I explained I'd done nothing ... to annoy this young woman.

Unlikely. You even went off on something that was never even posted - and still forgot to answer those simple questions. But again, "But what is she thinking? What does she see? Why would see be this way?" ... because I so enjoy 4th of July fireworks and good drama.

are you SURE you're not Dick Cheney?

"unlikely"--? Mere speculation. I've denied irritating this woman. You refuse to accept my answer. That is childish. Only a mental midget would read more into the situation than provided by an eye witness.

Go take a shower, tw. I'm sure you need one.

Becoming obvious is why she hates you and why you did nothing to anger her. Wow. So much anger in a 19 year old.
