Tough Talk,
I work with a woman who is new to our city. She is a nice person, but comes across as needy and is always trying to buddy up to people and if she doesn’t get the response she expects, she acts offended, like that person, sometimes myself, has done something wrong. She’s the person who is socially awkward and regularly makes people feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to hurt her feelings or cause problems at work. What do you think I should do Tough Talk? (Crete, Nevada)
Crete,
You tell this woman to stop bothering people and if she doesn’t like it, to go pound rocks. People who expect other people to jump through their hoops are stupid, selfish and were spoiled rotten. Their need for constant attention exhibits a deep insecurity and arrogance that will never be assuaged. Tell her no one gives a damn what she thinks and move back to whatever city she was kicked out of.
