“I was having trouble with a co-worker. She was always criticizing me and annoying me. It didn’t have any practical effect on my job or career (she wasn’t on my team, nor was she in a position of authority) but it was demoralizing and unpleasant. I brought it up with my boss and he sighed and before he walked away, he said only, ‘She’s a bitch.’ It was terrific! I realized, yes, she is a bitch. She complains about me and insults me, because she is an unpleasant person. It has nothing to do with me and it only has the effect on me that I allow it to have.” — substantial-freud
