I tend to see in other people the way I don't want to be for myself.....and if I stick to my guns around those people and be myself, they tend to fade away.....like if they're gossiping about someone and I don't chime in, or if I make a nice comment about the person they're gossiping about, they tend to quit the gossiping around me. When they see that I'm not going to be catty and gossipy around them, they tend not to be catty and gossipy around me, because its no fun for them. I try to practice patience, love and tolerance....because it creates a much more peaceful existance for myself. And I also just feel bad for those kinds of people who have to bolster themselves by putting down others.

Maybe if you have the mindset that you're going to work to earn a paycheck and not to make friends, you can just focus on getting your work done and ignore the catty women. Its a really hard situation....women can sure be horrible to each other!!!!!
