Yes, people have sought me out and I attribute it to human nature as WC has said. The people who have done this were genuinely not nice people and the kind that made fun of everyone the moment they were out of ear shot. Some people are just like that and my friend says it probably comes from a predator or prey perspective. If only we had mind reading devises, we could figure all this out more concretely. I'm sorry your boss doesn't like you, not everyone will unfortunately. It's probably her loss more than yours unless you gave her a good reason or something. It takes more energy to hate and it doesn't feel very good so remember that. I wish I could say to just not care what other people think but unless you're a sociopath which it doesn't sound like you are, you won't be able to do that. Good luck and I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
