Some days, you gotta just clap your hands together take a deep breath and exhale reciting the sacred mantra of "fuck it"
Co-workers are alot like high school some times ya click. Sometimes ya don't

Ha! Suppose you do! I just suffer from a case of "everybody needs to like me", so that's a bit more of a challenge for myself.

*puts a hand on your shoulder* "Do you like you? If the answer is yes? Then you're ahead of the game. The others will warm up eventually"

I get what you're saying, being ok with yourself WILL eventually radiate out to others, I absolutely agree with that. Still. The point being that as great as that is, in the final analysis, it is still not the point. Some of the others WILL warm up, others, absolutely not. Never, ever, no matter what you do. And that is normal. That is essential. It is absolutely completely unavoidable. It is healthy and expected.

Experiencing that disharmony, that dislike, and not have it affect you, is next to impossible. So fuck it. Give yourself permission to have it affect you. Kind of a paradox, but allowing it to happen makes the experience less powerful. In my experience, it's kind of impossible to ever get USED to that situation, but it very definitely IS possible to have it be bearable.

Doesn't (almost) everybody suffer from that?

I'm pretty sure it's a horribly common thing. And sometimes it's not really something you can "fix". But it does get to me sometimes, anyway.

I like this, and I think I like your dad. :)

He's a good dude. This is definitely the way to raise a kid.
