[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 607601, member: 14557"] Sorry it didn't work out. And I think it is a wise decision to not spend your free time with people, who only give you grief, if it can be avoided. Like it can in this case. However; How [B]I[/B] deal with difficult people? Well, fake, fake, fake, fakety fake, it is. At least if they are insignificant for me personally. If the person who is acting difficult way is someone I'm very invested in in personal level, it is different. But when it is a colleague, distant family member, friend of the friend, someone I volunteer with, parent of a friend of my children or someone like that, I simply fake my butt of. I'm in fact more polite, pleasant and agreeable to people I don't like than to people I like. I try to stay calm, collected and friendly. Listen and make agreeable sounds and talk less. Smile and nod a lot. I just don't give much from me other than that. If they are somebody I have to work with, on the top of that, I try to be very to the point and brief with actual business, make things very clear and be extremely punctual. In fact many of the people I don't like think I'm much nicer person than people I do like. :rofl: Fakety Fake SuZir is very sunny and agreeable person :lady: [/QUOTE]
