The easiest solution is to eliminate the difficulty from your life; however this is impossible if the problem lies with a co-worker or a loved one. If this is the case then you have to develop strategies to help you develop healthier communication between you and them. Here are some tips to help you
Where possible avoid getting into any personal discussion such as religion or politics, basically avoid any subject that can easily cause conflict. If you sense the other person is trying to goad you into a discussion that will probably lead to an argument then change the subject or leave the room.
Trying to change the difficult person you are dealing with will only result in them becoming defensive; it will eventually turn into a power struggle and make the person even more difficult to deal with.
Try changing how you respond or see the other person, if the person is treating you unacceptably then draw boundaries that they cannot cross.
Try to see the other person’s point of view and remember that you are not always right.
Focus on the positive aspects of the other person; this can be especially helpful if the person is a family member.
Accept the person for who they are, good or bad
Learn to recognize when you need to put a distance between you and the other person and act on it when the time comes.
When you feel negative interactions try not to blame either one of you for them.
If worst comes to the worst then just being polite could be the best you can hope for with certain people, sometimes people just don’t get on, no matter what.
Try to keep your sense of humor when around someone who is being difficult.
Be sure to have positive relationships around you to offset the negative ones.
These are just a few of the ways which you can use in your daily life when faced with difficult people, while they wont change the person, they can make life and the person involved a lot easier to deal with. Along with developing healthier communication skills you should also practice ways of de-stressing, particularly if you are confronted by facing and dealing with difficult people who you cannot avoid on a daily basis.
