Suga, we are more sensitive. We pick up signals from people that even they don't know they send. I had to learn to handle it by doing the other thing, by getting way cold at times like that with people like your colleague and asking her, for example, "are you done having hysterics now? Good, because what this company needs is for the two of us to work together and I definitely don't feel like you have the self discipline to do that at the moment, or am I wrong? Oh? Good! Then Let's work!" Of course, I would be grinning like death the entire time at her or looking at her as if her next roomate would be Dexter, and she'd LIK it, but that is another thing... Poor dear. It is a common problem with us. Too bad she's not woman enough to handle your disclosure. HUGGGSSSS!
