In reply to Jealous women at work - what to do about them?, posted by PhoenixGirl on January 27, 2004, at 19:20:36
Somebody mentioned something like this, and it's true - The resentful women see the way I look AND how I keep to myself, and they assume it must be because I think I'm better than they are. I've noticed this perception a lot. There is the assumption that attractive women think they're better than other women, so if an attractive woman doesn't mingle much, that's proof that she's stuck-up. You know, there are a number of people at work who keep to themselves, and no one thinks that they're snotty. For example, there's a feeble old man in the cubicle next to me who almost never socializes with others, and is very quiet. Many people think that it's endearing - what a sweet gentle man! They sure don't think that he is snotty about how pretty he is...
