Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?
JanetLG:
Bones,
That's so interesting! What were some of the areas you studied? It'd be great when you get to use the knowledge in a job (I've seen your other thread about the problems you've been having...).
I got a degree in Social Science four years ago. The best part, for me, was a year doing criminology. All the social issues and politics stuff in the course meant I could never watch TV or read a newspaper in the same way again - it's all manipulation!
The skills you learn doing study at that level are useful in so many more areas than just learning academic subjects - do you agree?

And she became the center of attention, rather than the most excellent Bones, through her antics! Do not invite her when you are awarded your doctorate! (send an announcement card AFTERWARD, with the wrong date and address on it just to be sure)
Sorry you had to deal with this on your day of TRIUMPH. I love how you stood up for yourself. Still, nothing can dim the brightness of your victory... HIP HIP HOORAY BONES!!!!
Hugs,
Changing

Thanks, Changing!
I'm ready to tell her, you want to mess with regalia?????? GET YOUR OWN!!!!! LEAVE MINE ALONE!!!! The more I analyze what she was doing, the more Freudian it gets!

Bones,
A HUGE congratulations on your degree!!!! Yes, she was completely invading your space and, like others said, putting herself in your place.
My mother follws me around the house if we are ever together - literally. If I turn on a light, she turns it off. If I am cooking, she gets in front of me and mixes up what I have put together. No matter where I am, she invades my space and is DELIGHTED when I get irritated.
(((((((((((((((((Bones))))))))))))))
Love, Beth

Thanks, Janet!
Some of the areas I studied, for this degree, were in Psychopharmacology, Issues and Trends in Addiction, Substance Abuse Program Evaluation, Principles of Psychopathology, Substance Abuse Theories among many others that were addictions related. I also took extra courses in order to meet the state requirements for licensure/certification. I'm trying to get my clinical hours out of the way and that turned out to be another headache with the company I'm currently working for. I'm still job hunting in the hope of finding what I need a LOT closer to home.

Congratulations, Bones! I never completed college, so i admire others who have that stick-to-itness. As for your friend, I agree sounds like jealousy and competition for attention to me. I had a "friend" who used to come to see me sing a few times, back in the day when I was in top 40 bands. She always tried to make me laugh when I was on stage. She'd stare at me and then when she caught my attention, she'd hold my eye and begin to smirk, which would then turn into giggling like we were in high school again or something.
I was so nervous then that I'd start to feel myself want to giggle back and it was everything I could do to stop from messing up. I remember trying to avoid her stare, but it was hard because she never let up. I didn't see it as a reflection of any ill will then. I mean, after all, she was my friend.
Now, I know better. Friendship is no protection against envy. Sometimes it's the breeding ground for it.
I'd think twice about inviting her to any more celebratory events for you again. You don't need a "joy sucker" tagging along!
