Distortion

I think because I am surrounded by shorter and more petite individuals, I sometimes start to feel like I am more petite than I actually am.... and may even behave more petite than I actually am, hopping around, being energetic, acting cutesy when I am in fact 5'7 and 150lbs.  I just wonder what it looks like from the outside.... Does anyone else ever experience something similar?

Women

Women should be more supportive of other women in the workplace. More often than not I find that women have a bad attitude towards other women. I even think it may be something in the female nature.  I can admit that there was a time in my life that I probably would have said that I hated girls....and I think that many woman go through a phase like that.  But some don't grow out of it.  I find it childish for a grown-ass woman to act in this manner. I've learned over the years that wasting energy on hating on people is just silly.  Once I realized this, and changed my attitude toward woman/girls I found myself to be a much happier person.  What good comes out of hating on others?

I just wish that more women would take a step back and reflect upon themselves. Next time you see a woman in the workplace smile and say hi to her, give her a nod, don't look her up and down or give her a stink eye.  There was a time when women weren't allowed in the workplace and woman are STILL treated like second class employees in many industries. If we don't support each other, who will?? I promise you that if you are warmer to others that you in turn will feel happier.  What do you have to lose? You can only gain friends or allies... Please be the change ladies, don't be the problem.
