I just now realized what it is about them. Why these two particular people that I know get along soo very well when I barely get along with either of them. They like one another because one is a total people pleaser and smoother and the other is on a power trip. It works because Ms. Power dominates the relationship over Ms. Smoother. Very weird.
Why don't I get along with them? It's totally a power struggle. Ms. Power wants to be in control of everything even things that don't fall under her purview. Anyone who know me knows that this doesn't fly in my book. I've figured out a way to make things work out, but its a constant struggle for power...yuck!
And Ms. Smoother tries so very hard to make everyone happy, but the world doesn't work that way. (Didn't her momma ever tell her "you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time") Sometimes the decisions you make are not going to be ones that everyone agrees with and you have to be ok with that. I don't think she is. How it relates to me? Well in trying to make certain people happy she tries to tell me what to do, and once again that doesn't fly with me. It's a power struggle again.
I cannot wait to leave these two behind and move forward with my life getting smarter, sharper, and more professional nimble. It's interesting how things work out and what we can learn, but I'm glad to take that risk and keep on learning!
