I AM TRYING REALLY HARD TO STOP HATING THIS GIRL I KNOW.

She is horrible. Gosh, she judged me, looked at me, ridiculed me - gosh she was so jealous.

I am really trying hard not to like do something mean to her like make a website about how mean she is or like post anon comments on her blog (that's just pictures of herself).

Ugh it's so hard to be a good person. She has made me feel like crap for the past 6+ months.

It helps if you think about yourself instead; I had a problem with a girl and just decided to start thinking, "what if she's right and I'm wrong" and seriously considering it. That kept me from getting too over the top about her.

May I ask how you know her and what sort of stuff she does to you? I've had people judge me and treat me like I was insignificant, it's horrible isn't it. I remember working with this one girl and she didn't know I had BPD but she just didn't like me as a person. She made nasty comments about my appearance, she gave me filthy looks all the time, she even shoulder barged me once when walking past me. I got sick of it and confronted her and said, "At least tell me what it is I did wrong so I can apologise and learn from it." but she simply said back to me, "I love don't f**king like you." and wouldn't discuss it any further. I will never know what her problem was but I remember crying over it and then suddenly thinking to myself, "Why am I putting so much energy into this? Why do I even care what this one person thinks of me? She has treated me horribly so she isn't a person I would want to be friends with anyway." So I didn't bother with her anymore and would just smile when I saw her (because I knew that being nice to her annoyed her haha). Some people are just emotionally immature and for some reason instead of improving themselves as people, they find it easier to just drag others down. Maybe this girl is one of those people.

If you're going to take revenge, at least do it tastefully...

LOL Micheal. I think your suggestions are needed on how to tastefully proceed.

In all seriousness protector is probably correct. Usually when someone behaves like this girl they are expressing a lack in themselves. If she was a victim herself than she may very well be taking it out on you, it is not unusual for victims of abuse of some kind to turn into bullies.
And that is what you are dealing with, a bully. And if she is getting you angry enough to take action, she is winning. And this behavior that she is expressing can be a learned behavior as well, she may have a tyrant for a father or mother that belittles her all the time, or even a sibling. So your best move is to not give her fuel by reacting negetively. And she could also be very lonely or have poor self esteem. Even bad attention is better than no attention at all in some cases. It is always wise to avoid rewarding bad behavior by responding with bad behavior.
If you don't give her what she wants she will find someone else to pick on.

It is not unusual for someone to try to gain self esteem by putting others down. Maybe you are right that she is jealous and needs to make up for her inadequacy by critisizing you. Dont be angry, she is the sorry soul, you need to rise above it.

Well, anonymously is certainly how not to do it... Help the adversary in a public venue with all your peers watching. And make sure you don't scowl or complain while doing it. A small smile would help. Although, you'd have to wait for the opportune moment when the adversary is truly in need of some assistance (such as if she had fallen or dropped a number of things), or it won't seem genuine.

If this opportunity doesn't present itself, it would be best to ask her "Why?" If she calls you a b****, ask her, "Why do you think I'm a b****?" as calmly as you can possibly manage. If she gives a valid reason, apologize for such behaviour or, if it was a misunderstanding, explain the situation. If she doesn't give you a valid reason and continues to insult you, sigh irritably and say the following: "I could understand if someone was angry because of some action I did or something I said. I could even understand if someone was having a particularly awful day and taking their frustrations out on those around them... But you? You're just a bad person..." Never speak of it again. And make sure everyone is watching. Because, in the end, it isn't what you say to her that will affect her actions, but how her peers judge her for those actions. If they see you as a voice of reason who is patiently dealing with her abuse, they'll begin to see her as a tyrant and a bully... and then resent her for it.

Well that sounds reasonable Michael, that is like hitting two birds with one stone.

She will learn in a public way that you are sympathic within reason. If not, she will lose all the power she trys to gain over you as now she will be more subject to public opinion. And if you do this, you will learn how to address others who pose a threat, consider it practice. Once people know that you will address them publicly and your not expressing intimidation but the ability to be above it intellectually, you shouldn't be bothered any more.

If she's already done this much damage, just think of what she'll do to you if she is acting upon revenge for you doing something to her. One of the worst things you can do is give a female individual motive. Take it from one that has completely destroyed two people's social life and a third's ability to walk (before you judge, it was broken legs. not paralyzed.)

If she's disliked overall by the population and you humiliate her then people would still look down upon her, you would get justice, and give her motive. If she's well liked overall, then you would just seem like a jerk if you humiliate her unless you strategically thought out the argument to the point of where she displays how horrible she is in front of the rest.

Sometimes it's best to cut your losses and not drag things out.

I disagree. Social lives and legs can be rebuilt. I lifetime of cowering to the feet of every bully that crosses your path out of fear of having your legs broken is just pathetic.
