Article of the Week
How to Deal With Problem People Our lives our peppered with problem people. Somehow they just gravitate to us on those days when we are busy or come in clusters during a holiday or while we are working on a big project. Sometimes a spouse can utter an innocuous remark on Tuesday, yet on Thursday that same remark is perceived as malevolent and cruel, worthy of a swift cutting rebuke. Or perhaps a mother-in-law appears to be well-intentioned and helpful on one day, but the same act is perceived as meddling and undermining another time. Is it them or is it us? We are the control center. We have the power to perceive the cup as half full or half empty. When we let a barb penetrate us, it is a sure sign that we are out of balance. Perhaps we did not sleep well last night, have been eating too many “comfort foods,” or the weather is cold and cloudy. Any little thing can potentially ignite us when we are off balance. So, it’s not that the problematic people are out to get us, but that we have reacted to something internal. Imagine a typical holiday family dinner: You know that uncle Joe will be there to make a remark about how good you used to look. Then there is your mother who wants to know when you are going to have a baby because you are not getting any younger. And in the corner of the room lurks your first cousin Sharon who just landed a partnership in a prestigious law firm while you are still in the process of finding yourself; She will soon ask you about your work or lack of work outside the home. You can potentially trigger a conflagration at the table. In fact, you can fulfill your own negative prophecy by pushing their buttons to release all the painful remarks you dread. What is the common denominator for all your family members? Are they all mean-spirited, insensitive and out to get you? More |
