  Is there anyone in your life that just seems to bring out the worst in you?

Normally, you're a nice person, and people like you, but there is that one individual who, when in your presence, turns you into a ranting lunatic! Is there?

I hate to admit it, but I have a couple of relatives that just bug the living crap out of me. We get along okay, but they reallly get on my nerves. I also have a couple really difficult co-workers, but I guess that's universal.

Inne (jumbled) does. She's this dog who refuses to have a normal conversation. So we're at school, blah blah blah about guys and ponytails and the rest, and you tell her off for something minor. She starts talking really, really loudly and laughing at you, drawing attention from everybody. She's so annoying. And she has this horse laugh. I just feel like tearing out pieces of her long, perfectly shiny black hair whenever she's near...thank God I don't have to see most of these people on vacation.

He's a fat little toad, with greasy hair and big yellowy dog eyes. He's the kind of gay that leaves a foul taste in my mouth. He smells weird. He is overbearing yet totally devoid of taste. He is a degenerate, who smokes rock cocaine yet goes to work every day. He is a parvenu. I can't stand him.

It's this woman at work that I lovingly refer to as *&%^. Her name is Dianne. I hate her. I feel that hate is a strong word and she is the only person that I have used it on.

Yes. There is a boss at work who can ask me to do something as nice as pie and I am always compelled to argue with him. He took me aside once to ask me to show him more respect and I argued with him for 20 minutes about why he doesn't deserve any respect. I can't stand this guy.

I had a friend that whenever I was with her I turned angry. She was very controlling and I hated seeing her. When I got home from her house I'd get all mad at my family and stuff. I dont see her anymore thankfully.

Also I have cousins that drive me insane.

YES! There's this girl that I used to be friends with, but she talked about herself, and ONLY herself! The other day she called, and I told her I was on the other line with a guy that I know (I said his name) and she was like "Who?!?!" even though I talk about him all the time! What's the point if I do all the friggin' listening? Arrrggghhh!

There used to be. A teacher. She isn't in my life anymore, and I honestly believe if she was still my teacher, I wouldn't behave the same way. I've got a lot of regrets about the way I acted with her. Not to say that she wasn't completely horrid to me also, but you know. That's doesn't make it right for me.

I think your explanation is off-the-mark, however, there are certain people whose belief in what is in my interests are not in line with my own, and there can occasionally be significant amounts of conflict between myself and those people. They tend to be relatives. I have no tolerance for their trying to interfere with my life.

Not anymore. I used to know someone who was so depressed or troubled. I spent 9 months of my life listening to him and trying to help but in the end I used to get frustrated and started nagging him and shouting at him. Suffice to say he got depressed and troubled and moved on to his next victim. Modern day vampirism. He drained me of all my energy just being in the same room as him.

Yes, a co-worker. What a twit she is and to make matter worse-they just hired her boyfriend-I've known him for years and he is more of a twit than she is! I just ran into her today (New Year's Eve) and she wanted to know if I would babysit her two kids so she could go out and get drunk (she is Mormon). I told he that I don't babysit for people so they can go get drunk, that she is underage (20)-so that is illegal and Mormons aren't supposed to consume alcohol, cigarettes or caffeine (she is always going on about how religous she is).

Unfortunately, my mother seems often to bring out the worst in me more often than not. She lives with my husband and me, and she always seems to need to read me a newspaper article or talk to me when I would much rather be alone, and I get very irritated with her. It's a terrific effort for me to be as civil to her as I would be to a friend who wanted to interact. She seems stuck in one of two modes: moping in her room and very reclusive and depressed, or more cheerful, but constantly underfoot and chattering. She talks through movies and TV programs, hovers at the back of anyone using the computer, just waiting for them to notice her, and fills any comfortable silences with inane chatter. But she has better days too, and I genuinely like and love her, except when she won't let me enjoy some quiet or solitude.
I find myself being a very ugly person sometimes, when I am frustrated with the lack of private space. I'll be glad when and if she gets more of a life of her own, and makes friends she can socialize with, instead of me 24/7!

Yes. There is one guy at work who drives me to an irrational rage with little or no effort on his part. I am ashamed of this because in general I think he's a decent human being and a very good worker; nevertheless, I can't work in the same area as this guy for more than an hour without wanting to scream at him to go do anatomically implausible things to himself.

I know a woman like that. When she and I were both in relationships that were unhealthy for us, we bonded and helped each other through some rough stuff. But after time it has started to really look like she has no interest in getting well. She has slid over to a slightly different "branch of the social tree" and is, from what I hear, running through all the same issues over again, in the same way. *frown*
