dealing with difficult people
I and my co-worker are basically teachers with special needs kids. We host an after school program which teaches them the basics on how to take care of themselves etc.
When I first started, my co-worker who is a "Plain Jane" type of girl (NOTHING is wrong with that) used to brag about herself. She told me how she was on the honor roll in high school, class president etc. That’s nice. Then she found out I am single. I am 2 years older than her. So she started playing with her engagement/wedding band all the time and talking about her husband. She would say things like "Oh he took today off so I should be with him! He’s home playing with legos. Hehhe" Ok fine. Then she got pregnant in October — literally weeks before her high school reunion. I am honestly happy for her. This is something she really wanted and will make a great mom. But now she sits across from me rubbing her belly and smiling to herself. ALL the time. Fine. I can handle that.
Recently her moods are getting strange — either that or her true colors are showing. She is talking about all my other co-workers behind their backs– even saying things in the hopes of getting one of them fired. I am a bit leary in communicating with her. I don’t know that I can trust her. And it’s not that I did something and am paranoid. I am who I am and accept responsibility for my actions. I just don’t like that high school "She did that. She said this…" type of drama.
Some days this girl is nice to me. Other days she is distant. It’s like she gets offended if the kids are happy to see me, she just looks at them. She tries to out do me often in my groups with the kids. I admit, she is more knowledgeable but that is only because she has been on the job for 4 years already and I have only been there 6 months.
Any advice? How do I deal with her?

dealing with difficult people
I work at a corporate office of a very large company. It is very difficult dealing with the people that work there. Some are nice, but most are very mean! I try to be nice to everybody. These people think they are better than anyone else and are heartless. They don’t care about anybody. Can anyone give me some advice on how to deal with these people. I need my job, but I don’t need all the stress and I dread going to work some days. HELP!

At work dealing with people isn’t so bad cuz its your JOB to keep your cool. But outside of work, when I run into a group of assholes I’ve known for a while they give me crap and I get so nervous I can’t take it. How do you deal with cocky, troublemakers when there is a group of them and only one of you… and whats ur attitude toward them?

dealing with difficult people
A co-worker made me so angry yesterday, I cut off 90% of my business duties with her, and wanted to leave my job for a minute—even though she’s not in my office.
Please give me TIPS, BOOKS, WEBSITES to help me deal with difficult people?
Christian self-help books, scriptures, and tips are helpful too!
