…..who insist on ramming their opinions of your life down your throat? And also how do you handle people who think their view is right and thats it and won’t entertain any other possibilities than their own view point.
Difficult in the sense that their actions are against your values and cause conflict in many areas of your life. And when there is no way that you talk to them about it, calmly and safely that is.
There’s this girl I’m very interested who i have known sort of well for about a year since we are in the same classes. I am pretty interested in her however my friend told me a couple months ago that he likes her. I didn’t tell him then, which was a bad move, but at the time I’d been really distracted thinking about other things. Sadly I have no experience with this kind of thing at all and it’s difficult for me to know what to do. My friend is pretty much the biggest (*insert body part here*) I know. He’s selfish like you wouldn’t believe and spoiled. He’s arrogant beyond belief and some days I hate him. But still, he’s kind of my friend. I’m not sure i could overlook the fact that he told me something so personal and just figuratively smack him in the face and do what i want. He can be generous and maybe just doesn’t know how to express himself. It’s difficult dealing with people who don’t even know how to be kind.
We don’t even have much in common but I’m just not sure I want to do this. Sometimes when we hang out its just really awkward. He’s a year older than me and we live in a dorm. the girl doesn’t. . I’m not completely sure she’s interested in me, but she has dropped a few compliments and touched my arm and I’m not completely stupid lol. . I’m not sure what to do because my own father had to basically compete against and beat his best friend to marry my mother. He had a good friend though because the friend was still the best man at the wedding.Like I said though, i don’t have any experience with these kinds of things and that’s why I’m here
My family’s difficult person is a daughter i n law who has made my son miserable for over a year threatening to divorce him and keeping the children from him. They are still married, but just barely. She wants to come to our Christmas gathering and I said yes because she is part of the family. She is trying to make amends, but I think it might take well over 100 years!! I am set to treat her amicably, but my other children are wanting to be mean. These are all adults and I do not know what they will do. Any suggestions on handling this?
Have you ever had to deal with people who don’t like you and try to be nice but just have to fling a few nasties during a nice "family" gathering….Or who are notarious drunks and like to hug tooooo tight and give you big boozy kisses. Where is your expertise…please enlighten me so that I am well prepared and will stop myself from having too many laced eggnogs in an effort to cope.
