I've always wondered why some people will create different rules for different people. For example, someone may be okay with another person doing something but if it's anyone else, they get mad. Like, I once knew someone who would make inappropriate jokes that she thought were funny and she was okay with it when a couple other people would do that, but if anyone else did it, she would get mad at them and call them immature. I also knew someone that was okay with certain friends friends to be around them as much as they wanted to and she would even be that way towards them, but then if any other friends were to do the same thing, she would get mad and call them clingy.

It can happen at work too. I have a coworker that will be okay with others approaching her to talk while she is doing something small while if some other people do it, she gets annoyed. Is this due to people feeling closer to some people while not as close to others? I've always wondered that. In a way, it can make it seem unfair as to why they may treat you a certain way, especially if it's them not wanting you to do something, while it's perfectly okay for others to do it. Is it also some form of control as well? I know in some cases it is because someone may not feel as close to a person as they may to another one. But I've wondered if there are any other reasons, like possibly a form of control or something else. Just wondered.
