Self Help Tips for How to Ditch Those Difficult People
Are you miserable because you always have to deal with difficult people? Ever wondered why there are difficult people? Who are the difficult people in your life? Could you ditch them?
If these people are your bosses, your in-laws, your neighbors, you may not be able to totally escape them. What do you do to minimize the havoc that they throw in your otherwise beautiful life?
1) Don’t take them personally. They are miserable, and misery loves company. Don’t play their games, they are veterans in making everyone miserable, you can’t beat them. Don’t join them either.
2) Confront them. Make them know they are being difficult. Do that assertively but keep your cool. Know when to quit too, you don’t like to waste your time with unnecessary fights.
3) Understand them. Why do they behave like they do? Are they envious of you? Are they not feeling well? Are they scared, are they being defensive? Put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how you would like people to treat you if you are being difficult.
4) Find positive things about them and compliment them. They gave you poison, give back honey. That might disarm them and give you a little more respect. If that fails, they are the losers
5) Avoid them. Difficult people could drain your energy. Avoid interaction with them. Don’t hang out with them anymore if you have a choice.
6) Don’t please them. If they are being critical of you, don’t go out on a limb to gain their approval. They would never be pleased with you. There will always be something they could disapprove about you later on.
7) Don’t be adversarial. Difficult people need the energy to get them going and fighting back is just what they need.
8) Give yourself a workout to take out the negative energy from dealing with difficult people. Do your favorite sports like swimming, jogging, running, etc.
9) If the difficult people are your bosses in the workplace, transfer to another office or resign. You don’t like to ruin your workdays. Your boss could also give you a low performance rating. It’s a no-win situation for you.
10) If they are family members, lessen contact with them. Don’t pretend that everything is perfect. You cannot choose your relatives but you have the freedom to choose how to react to them.
11) Forgive them. They are unhappy people. Holding a grudge against them is self destructive. It’s against your kind inner self. Ask yourself, what would Jesus do, what would Buddha or Dalai Lama
insert role model or higher power of your choosing do in such situations?
12) Learn from the experience. There must be a lesson in these kinds of challenges. Someday you will appreciate how these experiences made you a better person.
There will always be difficult persons in your life. You cannot control or force them to like you. But you could control how you respond to them. Don’t allow them to affect your moods, don’t let them bother you.
