When people treat you a certain way and it upsets you take a step back. Often times we are blind to our way of treating others. Once you step back you will realize that what you do affects others around you either positive or negative.
Example: Sing a really catchy song at work. Not the whole song. Just a few lines of the chorus and then stop. Do it about every 15 minutes. Just a few seconds of the song. Then wait.
Do you find others around the office singing that song? They might not even know where they heard it or got it from. They just start singing it too.
So if you want people to treat you nice....be nice. You do have the power to influence people for the good or the bad ya know.

Not sure where you work. But they'll refer me to the shrink department
I agree with: ALL of the above. It's a well known fact that like attracts like and I'm sure it works on the darker side too. Be evil and mean and get the same in return. When I have my realy MOJO going, everyone is happy. When I'm down and being dark,
nah, I mean it's a great sentiment but I've seen far too many really great people end up with total drop kicks simply because they're really nice and it seems to attract the horror heads.
I had to laugh when I saw your post because my husband is me x three. When I realized this, I thought, "Oh no, is this what I have been doing to people all these years?" He is perfect for me in that I understand all his actions but, jeez what an eye opener.
We are not evil or mean - we just have some traits that would aggravate the crap out of anyone.
i dont really believe that is true for all people. i believe i am someone who just chooses my battles wisely, and will let certain things go based on pros and cons. i had that happen with someone i was friends with for years. she is a pretty bad friend in that she is selfish and rude. thing is, she lives far away and i rarely speak or see her. my father also is friends with her father, and her father is our oral surgeon and has been really generous with pricing. i have confronted my friend on her ways, but i havent yet "dumped her". why? whats the point? i rarely see her, and it isnt worth really a whole long song and dance.
now with someone i see regularly, thats a different story.
most with disagree, but this is a rule of thumb for me.
You do get what you give. . . this is why I am always friendly and polite to everyone I meet and keep a positive attitude. I'm not Pollyana by any means but I refuse to let negative energy suck the life out of me.
