dealing with difficult people
i live with a friend who has a 20 year old that has anxiety disorder. i have been here a year and find it very difficult to deal with. He doesn’t have a job because he has a hard time dealing with people and only drives to where he is familiar. (2 towns). his mom gives him money for gas, food,(he always eats out, never what we cook. i don’t know if it is good enough for him or he is afraid it’’s not fresh enough), she pays his car pmts (700 per month). when he goes over to his girl friends house he calls his mom to follow him home. he sleeps til 2 comes home at 6 and plays video games til 1am. it is very hard for me living with this kid, but i tell myself it is an illness. i think he is taking advantage of his illness and his mom. she is a wonderful person but cannot say no to him.he does nothing around the house except boss his sister around and i mean nothing, no chores no nothing except play his games. i am seriously thinking of leaving this relationship. this is very hard for me. i have talked to her about him getting some responsibilities and she agrees but nothing is done. i think she figures if she give in to him the less problems for her. any ideas, i am lost.

dealing with difficult people
My husband and I have been dealing with some family members and friends who seem to like to try to make us jealous- (if that makes sense)…It’s like they enjoy seeing bad things happen us and having things-cars, homes, better job, to hold over our heads.
-It doesn’t bother me so much because we are not jealous people, we like to see good happen to others, it’ gets old after a while though when people constantly use you to make themselves feel better.
My cousin and his wife are also huge know-it-all’s and I feel like they talk down to us a lot and try to tell us "how life is" when they honestly have no clue themselves. My husband and I are much older and have much more experience in many things yet people are always making comments like we don’t know anything. Anyway…don’t get me wrong my husband and I are very caring and patient but every time we are around these people I feel we are being attacked and judged- I know how people are, I know they may be insecure- but when is enough, enough? We aren’t weak but it’s starting to take it’s toll on us.
I’d like to have a relationship with these people but I also have started calling them on what they do/We have tried seeing them less but they always get mad if we don’t answer the phone or come see them and give them the attention they want… We can’t win, Any advise? Any hope this can get better? (I’m sure we all have "those people" in our lives)
Thanks for reading- I just need some outside opinions on this-

dealing with difficult people
It’s been nearly 7 weeks since I gave up smoking and while the physical cravings have gone, I’m finding it hard at times dealing with difficult people or situations at work.
If something goes wrong I tend to get very grumpy about it and am worried that will affect my chances of promotion or another job in same workplace.
What are some tips on dealing with annoyances and irritability in the workplace?

dealing with difficult people
my department hires someone to do our calculations. this person has a position in that he’s the head of his own department, but is unaffiliated with my dept. i’m still a student but im forced to ask him for help (i think its cuz my boss hates him too and would rather let me deal with the guy). our dept pay’s his. since i am young and unfamilar with the other department, this person treats me like dirt. he’s condescending and rude. he expects me to know his dept, when i am only doing my own job (im an expert at my own dept). recently, i asked him for something. it’s been a week, he has not responded. he is delaying my work! i emailed him to ask him if i should make an appointment with him again just so he can tell me a number that he already calculated (it would take him 5 mins!). nevertheless, he ignores my email cuz he’s a jerk. what should i do?!?!?! i need the number! i have been nice all the way through. he is the one who personally attacks me, yet he still continue to be rude!!!
my department = medicine
jerk’s department (bad guy)= math
my boss (good guy) = medicine
we are good at our own field… that’s why we hire. what is that jerk’s job then? he is very unreasonable!! please help! although he is unreasonable, we are dependent on him
even if i tell my boss, i dont think he cares. he just wants the numbers too! we kind of need the jerk.
the jerk is the chair of his department. he is in his 60s or 70s
i am in my 20s, just learning.
