My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law will do this.. When I come near them or pass by them, they will blow their breath or sign.. It is like they are saying, Oh Boy, here she comes.... This makes me feel bad. As I am not an annoying person. I don't bother them... So why are they being so mean?

You need to stop letting them control you. You only feel that way because you permit yourself to let them make you feel bad. You know you're a good person and if they have a problem with you, that's their problem not yours. Ignore their sighs and signs, be cheerful when you're around them. Think of their good points. If they have none, imagine some. Don't let them control how you feel.

Yes, true, when my sil would do this to me, I would pass by her like I did not hear her.. I thought she was just blowing her breath because she was pregnant, and bored... I realized down the line, that she had done it to be mean.. But I paid no attention to her hardly.. But with my mil, I would let it bug me,, I guess because I wanted her acceptance, as being married to her son.. It bothered me more, when she did it.. I shouldn't have, but it did..

No, I have never asked them. If I was to ask they would do nothing but lie to me.. I have quizzed my mil many times of all of the mean things that she has done to me and she denied them all. It find this to be very confusing. It is like they are playing some kind of game with me.

I don't think anyone I know really does that when I'm around, but I'm sure there have been people who have wanted to and just didn't! That's awful that your inlaws are making you feel that way though! It sounds like they're being really rude. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. It sounds like they have kind of an attitude problem!

yea,i've met a few people like that.
i usually hang around even longer just to annoy them after hearing the huff.that's what they get for being mean.
some people don't need a reason.it's just the way they are.
not a good thing,but you really can't change them.people like that usually don't have too many friends.

I encounter a few people like that before, well the easiest way to do is just ignore them. I don't know maybe this is a sign that people are being good in front of you and at your back they are saying bad things from you. Sometime, it's good to be frank in front of people saying those things they want than saying good things to you which is opposite.I don't like people who tend to be good but doesn't want you. Why don't they tell me what is the matter so we can fix things out, right? Just ignore them, but if you find some time ask them if there's a problem with your relationship, so things will patch up soon.

Hi Cream
What ever may be the meaning of their sign or blowing breath I should not like that. I can not withstand people continuously behaving like that. I think that may be their basic character and they do not know the manners and they do not know how to behave. Even if they don't like some body they should not behave like this. We are all living in a civilized society. One thing you could do is to avoid them, then after some time they themselves become tired of their activities and stop them.

Hi there cream, I have not experienced that but if I were you with everything they are doing to you, maybe it's time for you to also do that to the and let's see how they will react, you can't just allow them to treat you like that or do not allow them in your house!

Hi cream, i feel that you should do this to them, let them understand how annoying they are. I think they come to your place so you have to do. Do this indirectly , call your friend and tell her in advace that i want my inlaw to regret coming to my house. I feel i should come to your house and tell them that how disgusting people they are. i am sorry but i was unable to control my feeling. hope you will handle this.

Yes, what you are doing makes a whole lot of sense.. But when my in laws do it, they will do it when I am passing by them, all the time.. It began to be a habit with them, that is why I thought that they were doing it out of ugliness.. They were just annoyed with me.. So, if they feel this way, that is why, I no longer want them to call or come over to my house.. Why be bothered with me, if you don't even like me?

I'd tell them if they don't stop huffing and puffing they might blow the house down. Let them blow their hot air, and don't let them see it bothers you. They'll either stop or go on with their childish ways, either way it's nothing you really need to worry about.
