Am I just being an a**hole?
I need genuine feedback on this because I can’t tell if it’s just me.
There’s a club on campus I’ve been a very active member off since my freshman year. This last year I was an officer and was recently elected president for the upcoming year.
There’s a girl in the club who I was extremely close with and we had a falling out (whole other story 😒). She was also an officer this last year and ran for president as well but wasn’t elected. She did however get elected as our treasurer.
Throughout this year she’s been hard to work with. She always has to do things her way and pretty much will just tell you no to any other way until you just agree with her. So much so to the point our last president pretty much gave up on trying with her. She’s always tried to assert dominance in the club by going to the front of the room when we split off for activities and quite literally yelling to get peoples attention, among other things. Within minutes of the election being over she had starting raising her voice to get attention (for something I was already working on) and I simply looked at her and told her I had it under control.
A week later we (just me and her) had to meet with the advisor of the club for some banking stuff. When I arrived she began talking about what all her running points are and how the club needs to be improved. It felt almost like she was trying to make me seem underprepared or I hadn’t thought of these things, when I in fact had already talked to the advisor one on one about these issues. It felt really weird to me and I honestly didn’t appreciate it.
Her last role was in charge of the social media and she posted today on the club account and then reposted to her story talking about how “she’s so excited to represent the club this next year”. Which I found irritating for some reason.
I just feel like she’s going to try and step into my position and make me seem incompetent. I am extremely passionate about this club and what we stand for and I don’t want to have her make me look like I don’t. Knowing the type of person she is I feel like she’s going to make the next year really difficult for me in terms of almost acting out and trying to make me look small to the rest of the officers and members
I feel like I’m just being extra and I want to see what someone else’s take on this is.
