Dealing with difficult people is a challenging moments

How do we deal with difficult people? It may be a family member, co-worker, or other that causes our frustration. Personalities collide, tempers flair, and then do things that we later regret. Ouch!!!!!

Dealing with Difficult People – Those Challenging Moments
There is a route we can take to guard us against further stress and help us establish a healthy attitude during those challenging moments. Difficult people cultivate anxiety, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy. Even in a brief encounter with that disruptive individual ruins our entire day. Their likes create tension that mounts with each passing day. Regardless of the length of the confrontation, we often find ouselves feeling miserable.

Dealing with Difficult People – The Categories

When dealing with difficult people, it is helpful to know what drives them. What are their categories?

1. One who drains others: they are "life suckers" their depressing and negative attitude. They frequently aggravate and deplete us. They complain, but refuse to accept solutions or take steps to improve their curcumstances.



2. One who disrespects others: From their constant criticism, we find ourselves consistently on the defence. Their blunt, cruel remarks and leave scars that linger as abuse. They may be unsympathetic and practice excessive rudeness and ridicule at our expense.



3. One who dominates others: agressive in nature, one who dominates our workplace through intimidation. Boldness and assertiveness give way to a meanness that ignores the harmful consequences. The dominating person believes "migh is right".



Dealing with Difficult People
When dealing with difficult people, we must accept that we cannot control the attitude of others. Regardless of our efforts, we cannot change another person’s heart. In fact, the Bible even speaks to this: “For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, eagerness for lustful pleasure, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness” (Mark 7:21-22).

We also can become a “difficult person” when we judge another individual. God has a way of dealing with critical people: “Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. For others will treat you as you treat them. Whatever measure you use in judging others, it will be used to measure how you are judged” (Matthew 7:1–2).

Dealing with difficult people requires qualities that go against our human nature. We are all resistant to change our opinions, especially if it requires laying down our rights. But when we reflect God’s nature, His peace can transform the most difficult of relationships. When we overlook another’s faults, God looks over us. “. . . Clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You must make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others . . . And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts . . .” (Colossians 3:12-15).
