3 Ways To Deal With Toxic People You Have To See Every Day
No one likes to be around annoying people who just don’t respect you or the boundaries you try to put in place. But sometimes we don’t have a choice and we have to deal with them—sometimes everyday! Here’s how:
Know they are the problem, not you
Don’t take anything they say personally, even if it has YOUR name on it. (Love that saying). Try to see them as “sick and suffering.” After all, if they felt better about themselves, would they act that way towards others?
Deal with them as little as possible
If you can get things from someone else, do. You want as little involvement with them as possible. Also, make your interactions, short and to the point. No long conversations and absolutely no gossiping.
Have a friend on the other end
After dealing with these people, call a friend, or do something nice for yourself. Put on some perfume, or touch up your lipstick. Don’t stay with their negative vibes.
