When you meet someone who annoys you, or agitates you, or frustrates you, it can be a fateful encounter. It can indicate that there is growth to be harnessed in the relationship. These people touch parts of ourselves that we need to give more care to. And this is identified by the feelings of agitation we feel towards them.Something I always try to remind myself of:-
"If something/someone annoys us, agitates us, angers us, then it is simply because we have not yet found the best way to see it, try to be more creative in your viewing"
It's helped me a lot in the past when my mind has uttered these words to me. There has been quite a few times I have met someone who just arouses my more impatient and intolerant side, and its taken quite a bit of effort to bear their company, but I've always felt that their company was something I needed because they were touching parts of me that I desired to see in a new light.
Its difficult, here are no rules or specific advices I could offer, apart from - just tell yourself to remain open to new ways of seeing her/the situation. The frustration you feel is not just her problem, but something you need to work on as well, and thats probably why you met. Try to look at it as a life challenge, you are being challenged by the universe to become more, and know more of yourself, it can be quite an exciting thing.
