this is one of the hardest things for me to do, because stuff like that really bugs me and wears on me. the best thing you can do is remove yourself from the situation. you said it's online, is it facebook? just delete the person. then they won't be able to make comments, and you won't have to read them. that is really the only method that works for me.

 

if you can't delete them, the next best thing (IMO) would be to confront the person. in person if possible. "you seem bothered by something lately, is it something i did?" explain to them without getting mad that you feel their comments are directed toward you. even if they say no, it might get them to stop.

I wish I could be more specific but yea, it's mostly over facebook. I've unsubscribed from her posts, I think that's all I can do. After I posted this I actually got to talk to her on the phone, which confirmed that I mostly just need to ignore it, since it's all passive-aggressive and I have no reason to fear a direct conflict. Having received a lot of support from some local spinners who also know her makes this easier, and thank you for the advice as well!
