Tips from This Book About Coping with Difficult People

• Dealing with Ignorance
  • Avoid arguing with them. Ignorant people tend to debate certain points without knowing anything substantial about the topic at hand. Try not to fall into the trap of an argument that won't really go anywhere.
  • Force yourself to interact positively. Though you may not be feeling particularly nice, remember that you should not resort to rudeness or hostility. Extend your patience and be kind at all times, no matter how you're really feeling.
  • Don't take their ignorance as a personal insult. If anything, ignorance is simply a sign of laziness on the part of the person you're speaking with. Taking their ignorance personally will only result in frustration, stress and anger.
• Dealing With Selfishness
  • Set boundaries. While this may cause tension or conflict, it's important that boundaries be made clear.

It's not all about them

Probably the best takeaway from this book was understanding there isn't anything I can do to control how other people are. I can work to understand where they're coming from, but they are who they are and I am who I am.

Once you understand that, you can either accept it and move on, or dwell on it and let it keep bothering you. One of those options is going to make you a lot happier than the other.
