We all come across some twisted characters from day to day basis. Not every one you meet daily  is easy to deal with. I personally have a very hard time dealing with such people. Before we go any further with the discussion, I would like to define what exactly do I mean by ‘Difficult People’. Difficult people can be defined as people who just don’t understand you due to their sheer Self-Centerism or just stupidity. They are very difficult to negotiate with and can get on your nerves, really bad.

So how do we deal with such Mo-Fos ?

Avoidance : If you have another option, go for it. Try not to come in their way and keep them away from yours. Simple neat trick and works all the time. But some times its just not so easy.

Patience : Not every one has this in them and might take a while to cultivate. Always listen what they have to tell you, completely. Never ever interrupt them. Never ever scream back at them, no matter what they tell you. Try to talk as slow and lightly as possible. If its not worth the “talk” , don’t bother. Keep holding it, till you can.

Confrontation : Tell that Mo-Fo what problems you have with him. Don’t scream at him or abuse him. Talk lightly and have the talk. Talking lightly when he is screaming at you will just put him off but screaming back at him will just worsen the situation. Give reasons and evidence wherever possible.  It is very important to make your stand look rational and logical. You don’t want to give the ‘Difficult’ person much to argue with. Spend some time preparing it. Use pen and paper if you have to ( I personally prefer pencil though… ) . Talk when he has ample time, so he can’t run away some where.

God bless difficult people….
