Even if you wake up every day with a perfect smile on your face, it can easily be ruined by the difficult people you meet at your workplace. You can’t avoid them because they are already part of your daily life. They make your day stressful which gives you a terrible feeling to leave the work immediately. 1. I will share a few effective strategies which will help you to deal with these difficult people.
Don’t take it personally.
Difficult people see others’ opinion as conflicting (冲突) to their belief. Their behaviour is already a habit to them so if you take it personally, they may even plan to make your life more terrible. Remember the problem is not only with you.2.
Listen to what they say.
Sometimes what difficult people want is someone’s attention and love. There are also difficult people who don’t even speak but will just throw you with sullen ( 愠怒的) looks to make you feel uneasy. 3. The thought of you standing there and waiting for a response will make them feel uncomfortable and they will just decide to speak up. If they do, listen carefully and analyze it.
Don’t get discouraged.
I have already told you that it would be really difficult for you to change their behaviour but never give up. It should be you affecting them and not them affecting you.4. They would not interfere (干扰) with you again. If they realize that, you can already enjoy your stay in the office or in the school.
5.
Instead of dealing with their pessimistic attitude every day, try to look at what advantages these people have. That way, they will start to like and appreciate you. Also, they won’t give you cold stares any more.
A.See what’s good in these people.
B.Choose topics that you both like.
C.Difficult people are sometimes suffering from low self-esteem (自尊).
D.If this happens, ask them and wait for a minute until he or she speaks.
E.What’s worse is that they can even make your enjoyable day unhealthy.
F.There must be many people who feel annoyed with their unpleasant behaviour.
G.Once they feel that you are different and they can’t beat you, they’ll learn to become distant.
