Maybe this woman feels insecure and thinks if she chats to you then you might move in on her friends and steal them away?

People can be very strange that way.
Ooh yeah I think you're on to something here Nicol
I rarely come across people that don't like me
But now and again...
For whatever reason...
I get shunned, like Carol did

I put it down to ignorance or jealousy..
neither of which I worry about anymore!


Strangely enough!, I think it really is still down to snobbery sometimes
Because the moment I say I'm a teacher, their whole persona changes!

Snobbery?

I'm not quite sure if you mean they look down on you because you're a lowly teacher - or if they feel intimidated by you because you ARE a teacher and are much cleverer than them!

Speaking of teachers - I got friendly with a lady at my keep-fit class. We exchange books & play scrabble on facebook.

I beat her all the time & when I went to her profile page on facebook to have a nosy I saw that she was a retired headmistress .. I felt quite chuffed to beat her at scrabble!!

No snobbery there - I'm only a retired shopkeeper but we like each other and that's that.

Re: Being liked.

Sometimes I find myself taking a dislike to a person and realise they just remind me of someone else so I put a bit of effort into getting to know them or I might be missing out on a new friend just because I didn't like someone else.
I can be guilty of disliking a person because they are friends with people I dislike which isn't really fair I guess.
Still we are all flawed people no one is perfect. So I won't be worrying too much about it.
I always think anyone doesn't like me has the problem I can live without them quite easily. Possibly better actually.

Re: Being liked.

I'm wondering if this woman came into our shop at sometime in the past & has some sort of grievance. That's about the only thing I can think of..

Ah well - her problem!

It’s not worth worrying about Carol, just continue being your normal self as the problem is with the other person

The worst thing about this Carol, as I see it, you are wasting so much of your time and brain power on a person who is simply not worth it. You are worth more than that, just concentrate on those you do get on with and who get on with you. For what it's worth I reckon you should stop allowing this woman to control your thoughts in this way!
