I don't like ignorant closed minded people either.  They are usually the ones

that " know everything " .  I know the kind.

I am so tired of this stupid, ignorant & closed-minded person that I know.

I'm not going to go into details about it. I have been trying to avoid her like

the plague....of

course, I am nice if I run into her. Kill the with kindness?!?

I'm trying to cut toxic people out of my life, and well...she's the main one.

But then she keep

stalking me on an online BB & is so rude to me about everything. It wouldn't be

such a big

deal if I didn't know her in person.

I know this is probably stupid. I guess I'm just venting!

There is a local core group of people that I meet with face to face

fairly often. Within that core group are a couple of individuals that

believe themselves to know everything about everything, have a

unnatural need to feed off other people's sympathy and attention, need

to involve themselves in every aspect of discussion, grab the

spotlight - often, in a nutshell they end up making an ass of themselves.

People who -are- worthy of the title, " Know everything " know how to

-listen-, when to speak up and when to shut up. There's a reason we

all have 2 ears and one mouth.

Nobody is allowed to rent space in my head, nor can they re-new their

subscription to " Focus On Me " weekly.

Know-It-All's are feeders who get a rise out of trying to impress or

control people and can easily be handled by -not participating- in

their agenda for the day.

I can can easily re-steer the conversation in another direction, go

find something else to do, or busy myself with some other task rather

than participate in the " I'm the Center of the Universe " kind of

mentality.

Surround yourself with people who you can trust and feel comfortable

with, choose wisely who you will allow in your inner circle of friends

and others who you maintain contact with.

My personal mentor gives advice that makes sense, " scrape'em off " if

they are becoming a nuisance.

I remember when I used to listen to Coast to Coast AM they would call

these people psychic vampires. these people, if let alone can suck

the energy right out of the room. my DH works with one, and she makes

the morale very low when she is working. i used to work with one that

actually made me physically sick to be around...

Amy,

Any way you could change your online identity so she wouldn't know it

was you??? How rude to be stalking you like that. Was she a friend

turned not-friend because of the fibro? If so, killing her with

kindness may work, its worth a try. You could also flat out tell her

that the way she is acting now is toxic to you and you are sorry but

you can no longer associate with her! I know its easy for me to say,

but we have to remove the toxicity from our lives......less stress

leads to less pain....

Amy, you need to change your online ID!! I think that would stop what is going

on online.

Yep, it is so therapeutic to get the toxic people out of our lives. Sometimes

it's easier said than done though!! Good luck.

I will not throw inanimate objects....

I am so tired of this stupid, ignorant & closed-minded person that I know.

I'm not going to go into details about it. I have been trying to avoid her

like the plague....of

course, I am nice if I run into her. Kill the with kindness?!?

I'm trying to cut toxic people out of my life, and well...she's the main one.

But then she keep

stalking me on an online BB & is so rude to me about everything. It wouldn't
