How do you deal with aggressive, oppressive people? (self-centric)
ie. advice re: dealing with a bitch please
This year I have come across literally the most unreasonable person I have ever met. Unfortunately she happens to be my flatmate. I decided I wasn't going to take shit from anyone in real-life anymore after secondary school and up until now I've been doing pretty ok, the success mostly down to choosing the right people to mix with so not needing to stick up for myself as much, because I dont hang around with bitches.
ANYWAY, basically she got home from work yesterday and we had an altercation, she had a go at me for using her laptop (which she has been letting all of us use with no problem for weeks while she's at work) I know for a FACT that if it was Lucy or our new flatmate she wouldn't have said anything, she was just being a cow.
I explained I understood it was ok for us to use it, and also that when I had my laptop in the winter and she didn't I told her I didnt mind her borrowing as long as she asked and she continiously stole it from my room without asking while I was out (her laptop is left in the sitting room). I won't bore you anymore with the rest of the details but at this point she starts shouting and swearing at me. I remained calm and told her there was no need to get agro, was very 'I refuse to start shouting like a twat'
She wouldn't listen.
Wouldn't accept anything I said though it was all truth.
And she wouldn't stop shouting and swearing.
How do you deal with a person like that? I want to talk to her about the fact she's been stealing my food again but I just can't bear to be shouted at so I end up fucking bearing it in silence.
I know I'm a wimp but the aforementioned incident left me feeling sick and shaky for 10 minutes afterwards (I kept my poise in front of The Bitch though (Y) ).
I realise this is very long and self -centric, sorry, hope someone can be bothered to read it.
Cheers guys xxxxxxxxx
