Told to 'get a life'

[miss_amy]

I don't really feel this problem so much. I just give a blank answer like, 'you know, the usual' if I didn't really do anything to speak of. That usually satisfies. Kind of does help I'm the boss I suppose. I can just tell them to do something to get them off my back.

I would give her an answer like 'oh nothing you would be interested in'. Maybe she'll stop asking when she gets bored of the answers or the message you don't want to talk to her.

Alot of time when people put me in awkward positions like that Ill just make a joke so theyll blow it off. Like you could've said "Im just the strong silent type." Making the situation less serious makes it easier to switch subjects.

"Nice but boring" is something I've heard too many times! The girl is obviously quite insecure and doesn't have an interesting life herself if she made such a big deal about the way you are; just rise above it next time, play along with the embarrassing comments. Who cares about what "everyone" thinks of you, who the hell is "everyone" anyway?! There's nothing wong with being quiet, but these days it's seen as some kind of taboo to some people if you're not "bubbly" and "outgoing" (i.e quite intimidating and arrogant). Quiet does NOT imply boring...us quiet 'uns often have an ace knack of listening and providing relevant input into conversations, as oppose to just rambling on constantly about complete irrelevant shite for the sake of it, so don't let silly comments get you down!

You're right. She has her own issues to deal with. Also, I deliberately try to ignore her as much as possible because she is always asking me 'what did you do at the weekend?', even though I usually say 'not much' or make something up. Sometimes I wish she would just f*** off and leave me alone because I know she does it on purpose.

Now I'm wondering what I'm going to say at work on Monday. My desk is right next to the coridoor and she's bound to stop to talk to me at least once during the day.

She's actually quite depressing to talk to herself!

Today she turned to me and said: "What time are you leaving, I need to catch the train in your direction to go to the shops".

I wanted to tell her to get lost but because we work together and will be for the forseeable future, I just went along with it.

Luckily this other guy decided to leave work at the same time so I didn't have to be alone with her on the train. However, just as we had got off the train she said: "What are you going to do when you get home?"

It sounds innocent I know, but the way she says it you can tell she is trying to put me on the spot, expecting me to tell her some exciting story about what I'm doing this evening.

I really want to smash her face in sometimes!

I was thinking the same thing. For someone you think is putting you down she sure puts a lot of effort into talking with you.

Definitely not because she's a lesbian. Not joking
