Have you ever had someone say hello to you and you pleasantly
responded? Then you walked away and instinctively
looked back, just to find them making a face behind your back? Yep, the mean girl syndrome in full
effect. What is also in effect is a
coward. Fantasia sang a song and some of
the lyrics to the song are, “If you don’t like me, don’t talk to me, go ahead
and free yourself”. If only the “mean
girl” would take this advice. Life is too
short to get caught up with people who don’t even know how to behave.
I simply don’t understand two faced cowards. Have the guts to say
what you have to say to the person's face or simply free yourself of their
company. I truly don’t
understand what people get out of catching someone else’s eye behind your back
and making a negative gesture about you.
Does it make them smarter, taller, cuter, gets them a raise? What did you say, none of the above – ding,
ding, ding. That is the correct answer,
the person who this gets nothing tangible out of it – unless, they have low self-esteem. Then of course it makes sense that behaving
this way, somehow makes them feel better about themselves (bigger). Unfortunately, this truth takes place only in
their minds. This reminds me of an
incident that I witnessed in high school.
In the 11th grade, there was a girl with long absolutely
beautiful hair. She was such a nice and
friendly girl. That seemed to be a problem for, “the mean girl”. So she would pull the girls' hair, knock her
school books out of her hand for months.
But one day the girl with the long hair had her hair in a bun, no
earrings on but certainly sneakers. And
this day, as soon as “the mean girl”
stepped in her direction she was met with, let’s just say mush hostility. Although I don’t condone violence, I guess
old girl had enough of the nonsense. It’s
amazing to me just how many “mean girls” grow up and never correct their
misbehavior. Too many of them grow up to
be “mean women”. Girl, “get your life”. There are therapists and psychologists on
every corner. Get the help you need and
leave everyone else alone. I for one
being the Diva that I am, will not be making eye contact with the person who
behaves poorly behind someone else’s back.
Divas don’t condone inappropriate behavior, we certainly won’t be a part
of it.
The truth of the matter is, we don’t have to like everybody
and if it pains you to say hello - don’t.
But do grow up. This isn’t high
school. No one’s afraid of the “mean
girl” anymore honey. And divas, well
they see your pain and hope you get the help you need. But just know, if you try this stunt with a
diva, there is a strong chance that she will call you on it. Yep, be prepared to be confronted.
