How do you deal with “difficult people”? Pls read.?

Posted By: admin  //  Category: dealing with difficult people

How do you deal with unreasonable, unhindged, or possibly unmedicated people in situations where you can’t get rid of them or get them immediately dismissed and you are basically forced to work with them?

For example, an office environment where your boss is a jerk. Or if you’re a boss, one of your subordinates are whiny and difficult. Or if your parent has dementia and is mean, but you can’t turn them over to a care giver. Or your a teenager who’s dealing with a parent who’s overly strick.

Do you stand up and fight? Confront? Attempt to deal diplomatically? Take the high road and forgive? Allow them to have their way until you can get out of the situation?

List your Sun, Moon, and Mars, and approximate age, please. And be honest. I know that many people say they would fight, but in reality, they just sit there and take it. Please evaluate honestly. Thank you.
Understandably, each situation may require a different tact. I’m specifically looking at "propensity"…how you are most likely to act in a situation…and how it applies, or doesn’t, to your Mars and Sun.
Kelly, you know I love you, girl, but I want to know how YOU handle a sticky situation..lol..I wasn’t really looking for advice, but many thanks for your willingness to help.

How to deal with arrogant and bitchy people?

Posted By: admin  //  Category: dealing with difficult people

There’s this girl who is bitchy. She expects things to go her way and likes to boss around. People also like to refer to her as the "popular" girl, for some weird reason. What I can’t understand is that despite others knowing her attitude, they side with her and dare not stand up against her even though it’s obvious she’s wrong.It’s like people are intimidated by her. Sometimes we get into group conversations and although I know there are some of her opinions which are erroneous and can be corrected, she will start bitching once I (or anyone else for the matter) states their opinion.

How can I talk and deal effectively with such an attitdue, especially when everyone is siding her? How do I make myself convincing enough so that people will listen to my opinions? Should I fight back when she starts to get bitchy, or should I choose a more passive way and avoid confrontation?

Please help, I’m not very good at dealing with diffdifficult people and I get very pissed off by arrogant character

How do you deal with difficult people.?

Posted By: admin  //  Category: dealing with difficult people

I don’t know how to assert myself around difficult people without becoming verbally aggressive at some point. I am a nice person, a team player and hard working. Some people mistake my niceness for weakness. And when you are nice those type of people get the idea that thier little games are working so they continue. I have zero tolerance for irrational people and at some point I will let them know even if it’s a boss. Nicely at first but after a while I lose my patience. I just don’t seem to care at the time. It’s a life problem I’ve been struggling with and I don’t see any solution but to quit. I’m tried of running from these people and there seems to be one anywhere you go. I’ve told two bosses off in a period of 5 years. Is this normal? Trust me this was after doing whatever I  could to appease and accomadate them. I finally told them off. I feel like when I’m being nice and diplomatic about things I’m constantly getting disrespected by people like that.
These jobs that I’ve had were informal setting. It’s like you get to know these people like family. 
One instance, this boss was constantly critcizing any minor thing I did wrong but lightly recognizing my strong qualities. His partner had an ‘if you don’t like it we’ll get a replacement’ attitude. I knew for sure I was one of their best employees. 
I couldn’t take it anymore and, after another one of his confrontations, in a fit of anger i told him how I felt about both of them. How do you deal with these people?
