I am at work. I am hating on someone.
I usually never feel like this. I work as a care taker to a hundred year old building during events. I'm feeling it toward the caterers wife. The way it manifests is that I cannot look her in the eye for very long without this horrid closing sensation in my chest. Sometimes I realize that this must be how she feels all the time. I don't have to feel it. My natural state is joshing.

6. thanks.
if all we have to do is breathe in and old and just be in the moment, why is it so hard?

7. Um. That's how I react to most people I encounter on a daily basis.
Though I wouldn't call it hating. I just don't trust them, like I wouldn't trust a rabid animal.

9. Yeah, I get it.
But this closing in feeling was full of a hot liquid gurgle.

16. Can't help you there but to share some experience.
You'll harm yourself more if you allow them to make you feel this way, but if you have to work around them, your choices are limited. As soon as you can, find a way to get yourself away from that environment. You'll see, in time, this person that makes you feel so ill, will get their dose of karma. It always happens. The only thing you should pray for is, that when it happens, God lets you have a front row seat to see it.

If you get that opportunity, you might even discover that it doesn't bring you the thrill you thought it would.

15. Yuck. And nobody is bringing you good reading material like lib2Da just did.
Interesting food for thought, there. Much better than drunk and loud. But I do remember when I thought drunker and louder was the road to more fun. Yuck.

... that was very sweet of them. You should go! It sounds like their energy is much better than the caterer's wife. Go have a good time!
