Gaining Silent Enemies with Her Unpleasant Attitude

The unexpected success of a major project in the ratings game has made Swell-Headed Actress (SH) prouder. Allegedly, SH has worsened her attitude, that is, instead of showing humility, she continues to be cold to her co-workers and treats them as though they are invisible.

After lingering in the station since she was given her break, SH has never really scored successive hits that would have cemented her status in the network. Hardly are her projects shown during primetime, and thus, she has to be content with projects in which she is the major star. It is this status that might have made her think that the achievement of her latest project should be credited to her and the rest of the cast members are really just secondary and dispensable.

For example, when Young-looking Actress (YA) and Versatile Seasoned Actor (VS) would try to talk to her during breaks or ask her a question, SH would pretend that she did not hear them. SH would continue with her business or merely walk away. Lucky for her, YA and VS have been in the business for so long that they would rather not make a fuss about such attitude.

This snobbish attitude became noticeable because SH would be accommodating Mature Talent (MT), who has also been in the showbiz for decades. Other than acting, MT is known for her profound insights and exploring of her other talents. Moreover, SH is often friendly with the producers, while ignoring most of the crew. SH is consistent as she carries this attitude even within the station itself. When Comebacking Contemporary (CC) greeted her at the lobby SH did not at all acknowledge the greeting. Of course, CC was offended.

With the success getting into her head, SH is even trying to influence her Significant Other (SO). Compared to SH, SO has just recently found his space in this network. Thus, he has been trusted with acting assignments as well. Although he is enjoying fame and fortune these days, SO has remained humble and is well liked because he is charming and pleasant. However, SH seems to be bent on changing that trait of SO. When SH saw him engaging in small talk with the crew, she went towards him and pulled him away. Then, the crew noticed that SO seemed to be distant and sadly, they learned that SH told SO not to interact with them.

As the cliché goes, SH might soon find herself drowning in a glass of water and realize that if she would need people later on, no one might even bother to be nice to her.

When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective. –Harvey Mackay
