Man, I thought I would make friends with one of my colleagues. He seemed very smart, and definitely is, but now I can't stand him anymore.
We had a conversation at a party recently, and he basically tried to break me down by playing up my insecurities.
I was drunk and therefore a bit vulnerable, but I did let him know that I didn't like what I was hearing.
When he talks and laughs around the office now, all I can hear is his snottiness. I didn't know there was such a thing as a smart bully.
