I wish I knew. Recently I have become a hermit because I just find people -- everyplace - too difficult to deal with. At this moment I can't think of one person who does... legit.. make me happy. They all, in their own way, are difficult and make me miserable.
Sometimes I think I bring it out in them.
For instance I like to be prepared and ready to go at all times and never ask for assistance. This seems to make people want to throw roadblocks in my way. I assume that if I was more in need of assistance they would be kinder to me. But they don't want me to "outshine" them.
Sometimes it isn't even me. I went to Home Depot the other day to return a sliding screen door. They lady asked me why I was returning it, I said it didn't fit and said, this particular brand gets horrible reviews on the website maybe it shouldn't be sold. This must of irked her. She says well, we sell products based on the reviews on the website (sarcasm) and then she asks me if I knew anyone who wanted to work there for a whole $12 dollars an hour... clearly this was trying to dig at me like for $12 an hour I don't care what you think about this product...made me feel I should have come off mean in the first place... by coming off nice she got her opportunity to be mean to me.
