G10 Share Tips On How To Handle Difficult People

GLASGOW, UK, August 2014 – “Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.” ~Eckhart Tolle

It’s morning; you’re in a great mood. You’re relaxed and have plenty of time to practice your morning routine. After a delicious breakfast you head out to start your day. Then it happens: you encounter a difficult person and your calm turns to calamity.

We all have encounters with people who prefer to stay miserable, making everything difficult. They exist, and perhaps there was a time in your past when you once where one of those negative people. Perhaps you still can be at times.

Difficult people are demanding. They demand something from the external world in hopes of filling the disconnection and restlessness they feel within. Whether they are demanding our attention, a certain action or reaction, or a particular outcome, the root of their behaviour is a demand for something other than what is.

Difficult people haven’t yet learned to take responsibility for their whole selves—mind, body, and spirit. Feeling disconnected and restless gives rise to their need to argue, judge, critique, and tweak everyone around them.

Their inability to handle themselves adds fuel to the fire, which perpetuates their harshness.

Underneath their personality is a feeling of being separate and a desperate plea for help. We can’t change another and we can’t make someone want to change. The only way we can help is by being true to our self, finding our power within, and being an example of wholeness.

Here are a few extremely effective practices for dealing with difficult people:

1. Be still and ground yourself.
Naturally, when we are confronted with a rude, irritable, or irate person, we tend to avoid them. The truth is that it is much more likely that they won’t until we learn an alternate way of dealing with them. Negative energy has a force and it can knock us on our butt, usually in the form of us engaging in toxic behaviour. We should remain calm and pause rather than engage in behaviour we may later regret.

2. Look them directly in the eyes.
Looking someone directly in his or her eyes dispels darkness. When I practice this tool one of two things always happens:

The person walks away or stops talking.
The conversation takes a more positive direction.

3. Listen to understand.
I find that whenever a difficult person confronts me, I automatically tense up and mentally consider my defence. When I am calm and open-minded, I know that I never have to defend myself, ever.

4. Learn when to be silent.
Some people are extremely closed-minded and impossible to talk to, but we need to speak to them. Focusing on them responding a certain way only results in two difficult people unable to accept what is.


5. Be honest with yourself.
If we are repeatedly in a situation with someone who is difficult verbally, physically, and/or emotionally, we must stop trying to change him or her. If you can honestly say you have done what you know to do, have asked for help from a friend or professionally and nothing is changing, then it’s time to end that relationship.

Of course, this takes practice and is not easy. However, as we take more and more responsibility for our life, circumstances and people lose their power over us. We learn to choose our responses moment by moment, no longer being dragged around by emotions, thoughts, or circumstances created by another or our self. And this is when we can find true success.
