Have you ever had someone dislike you for no reason at all?


In my workplace there is two co workers who have spread rumours and talked a lot of rubbish behind my back,I've done nothing to these women,it's not pleasant coming into work sometimes,it's frustrating knowing you've done nothing to be treated like this. I'm thinking the only thing it could be is jealousy.

Anyone else been disliked for no reason?

Sometimes, narcissist types might pick you as "the inferior one" in their imagined heirarchy, then reinforce said heirarchy through behavior like you describe. If you're introverted, you are an easy target. If you're extroverted, it might be jealousy... hard to say. They will probably continue to push you, making small insults or insinuations(aka shade throwing) until you react, and if you say a bad word or call them names, or even so much as raise your voice, you're the bad guy. Might want a backup plan for employment in case you get fired. If you're thinking of trying to get their approval, don't bother... that's not how it works. Just try not to care about what they do, or the consequences thereof.

I have a resting bitch face. I've been told by one person that it feels like I'm judging them when I'm just looking at them normally. I believe I've faced discrimination. Maybe it was because of my dreadlocks, or my weight, or my posture. Maybe they assumed I was lazy or uncomfortable, or didn't care enough. Maybe they assumed I was ignorant, or unreliable, or untrustworthy, or creepy, or dangerous, or depressed. I have no idea. It's not like people tell you why you're being treated differently, which sorta shows they don't have any good reason for it, otherwise they would try to fix the "problem".

💯 This is exactly what I suspected might be happening as I read it. It's impossible to say of course without more info, but from the OP's description, it's pointing to the co-worker exhibiting narcissistic personality traits in a negative way.

Yes these people come across as narcissistic and hateful, i keep my distance as much as possible. I think people are so unhappy in their own lives they like to take it out on others. They also seem to get away with a lot in the workplace which I've never understood why when they have the same role as me.

reply

Probably. Or you've missed something. Some folks are kind of rotten. You might consider confronting them & asking them what cause they've been given to start false rumors, or looking for another gig. You deserve to work in a congenial workplace- life is too short. But again, be sure you've given no cause, otherwise the problem may travel with you. Don't be like this guy ;) :

Oh yes. It might be a reason though, something someone has told someone, true or untrue. Or it might that you have a personality that justifies this behaviour.

It's ultimately about bonding.

Great answer 👏

Yes, but there does usually turn out to be a reason. I don't like gossips, or people who have to one-up you at every opportunity. I just don't have the patience for it.

But, you can't like, or be liked by everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gossip is just plain nasty business.

No.. I have never had that happen.. Take it to H.R if it becomes to unbearable

Some people are just awful. I hate gossips - especially when they're making things up.

Have your phone on record and confront them. You don't need to hostile about it. Just ask them why they said it. Keep the recording to back you up. When they make stuff up about the confrontation, play it for whoever they told and show them for the liars they are.

reply

Sure, some people are just assholes.
Ignore those sorts, some people are simply cranky weirdos.

DON'T dwell on other people's bile, carry on and fuck them. They are already in hell and you're walking around happy:)
