Backhands of An Advice Columnist

Backhands of An Advice Columnist

Thank you for writing, Pissed Off Patricia. I understand your difficulty and I don’t think you are overreacting at all but perhaps if you radically shifted your perspective and opinions you would see these things much more rationally and calmly. Your coworker is wrong, to you, but to herself she is right and you are wrong. I’ve often advised others to step into an adversary’s metaphorical shoes and eat breakfast from their perspective. For you, I suggest doing so, and carrying on for the rest of the day in this outlook until it overtakes your own and you see that, in actuality, you are quite wrong and she is right.
