Human Repellent
I am dealing with a housemate with a wickedly bad temper. Her boyfriend is an old friend of mine and I wanted to help them out since they were living in her mom’s house last year. I did not know her well at all. Everything she’s subjected me to has made me regret ever trying to help.
She wields her temper like it’s a weapon, and any time you try to express what you or someone else is feeling, she immediately argues and invalidates you. She has told her partner she is going to kill herself in order to win arguments.
Often times the things she is spouting as an argument are projections of her behavior or projections of her temper. She does not respect the boundaries of others, but demands that her boundaries be respected and any conversation to find compromise and even ground is met with anger.
Her lack of control over her words, once she’s triggered, are some of the meanest, most vitriolic things I’ve ever heard from anyone.
My partner, who was her friend and got her a job at her work, also had her own falling out with this person and now won’t come over to my house due to fear of this person’s behavior. I am exhausted. I probably have to deal with this for another 2 months. Story credit: Reddit / Double-The-Fupa
