Has anyone ever dealt with someone who snapped at you constantly over the smallest things, usually things that really were not even worth getting snappy over, but not towards anyone else? Their behavior seemed to be directed just towards you. I once had a friend who would snap at me if I tried to tell a joke but then if someone else said the exact same joke, it was hilarious to her and it was even okay for her to say and do stuff, but not me. I am no longer friends with her due to how rude she became and how she felt like she was allowed to behave in a certain way but no one else was.

Also once I had a sponsor snap at me because I got a burger at Burger King, yet no one else was snapped at when they got what they wanted. Also the same sponsor snapped at me once for politely telling a couple people I didn't need help emptying out a practically emptied popcorn container. There was just a bit of crumbs left on the bottom and it was a small light container and I didn't need two other people helping me carry it. Just wasn't necessary. And I got snapped at for politely saying no and thanking them. I was snapped at over other small things when no one else did.

Although for her, she apparently was miserable and didn't like her job. She stopped behaving that way towards me immediately after getting a new job. Just wondered why some people will snap at one person but not at others for the same thing. Wasn't sure if in some cases it meant that the person being snapped at wasn't liked or valued as much or if there could be another reason. I get that in some cases, someone just may not be liked and others will find any reason to get mad at them over the smallest things just because they can. But in other cases, if the person actually is liked, then I'm not sure why this happens. It can be very confusing.

Do you have any clue as to why one person may be snapped at constantly over the smallest things but not other people? Is being younger than them or not being as assertive make you a target for this kind of behavior even if the person actually does like you? I have been snapped at for other reasons too from others, even if they seem to like me. Yet if someone else did the same thing, it didn't provoke a strong negative reaction. Could it also be some form of a power trip for the person doing the snapping? I just find this kind of behavior annoying and confusing. It can make me or anyone else in that situation think they are not liked, which in some cases may be true but not always.
