If you have a negatively-polarizing person who is in your life trying to make things difficult for you, how would you guys go about "creating" the situation for them to go away, if you are unable to remove yourself from their life?
There is this girl I work with, more than just work with, I sit next to her all day every day. We are both secretaries, and I can't really just quit my job to get away from her. It seems though the more goodness I try to draw into myself and the more in line with the LOO that I try to become, the more my existence bothers her. She has started sending me nasty sms' every day saying how my "niceness" wont work on her, and accusing me of having emotional issues, and talking about how I'm not professional and I have a bad attitude - seriously my only issue is that I keep my head down, keep quiet and work my butt off. The more our bosses start to trust and like me, the more it seems to bother her and she finds more things to have problems with me over and the more she asserts her dominance. She is the "head secretary" though, so if I go to the bosses with this issue I know that they will probably end up firing me, because I've been there less time than she has and she is also good at charming people (she is beautiful and has her own porn site, so everyone sucks up to her - I'm not ugly but I don't give a damn about fashion and clothes and makeup and I don't have any desire for fame and fortune etc, especially her chosen path to get there), so no one else can even see her nastiness except for me. I wouldn't even care about her sts polarization except that she treats me like garbage, and I don't really know what to do about it. I try to just be nice to her anyway, and still make her coffee whenever I'm making one, and sharing my food with her etc, because I figure her behaviour towards me has nothing to do with who I am as a person, and I kind of know that being nice to her is just going to piss her off more coz she wants a reaction out of me.
I can't just quit my job though, I have a family to support. I've even thought about cursing her somehow, but people say that causes "bad karma", so I simply do not know how to handle this situation. Any suggestions??
p.s oops i thought i was in the life on planet earth thread, feel free to move it if necessary
