You don’t like me.
You don’t like something about my behavior.
I rub you the wrong way.
The answer is simple; change yourself.
The fastest way for me to achieve what you perceive to be correct behavior on my part is by modifying how you interact with me.
I’m too loud? Send me an email instead.
I’m not receptive to your ideas? Have an even slight concept of audience and timing.
I’m too opinionated? Stop having an opinion of your own to battle mine.
You know what’s not going to work? Telling me you have a problem with how I am, and then suggesting I change. I am a grown woman. How I am is one of my favorite things about me. Your opinion of how I am isn’t – how shall I put this so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities – relevant to me.
People say cruel things and then expect me to treat them well.
People grab me at an unscheduled time to discuss something they’ve been thinking about for months but for which they are too lazy/disorganized to schedule a discussion and wonder why I am not focused on their long, drawn-out concept.
People create issues for themselves and then dump them in my lap for me to solve and wonder why I give them the emotional clearance I would a child.
Stop placing a value of zero on my time.
Have a remote sense of personal responsibility.
Develop your emotional maturity.
Change yourself. It’s the quickest way to change me.
