What to do when faced with unreasonable people

1. Realize that there are unreasonable people, and you will encounter them sooner or later. There is nothing you can do about this reality. The first step is to face reality: You may think you can handle an unreasonable person. Maybe you can. If you are not sure, please see the following steps. You can avoid a lot of headaches.

2. Don't expose them, it will make them upset. They will be more difficult to deal with, just be confident and stay on your feet.

3. Understand that some people just can’t get along. Sometimes, a person who is on good terms with other people is specifically difficult for you. Most relationships have gray areas, but some are incompatible. It's normal for a difficult person to say "everyone else likes me." This is an attempt to blame you so you don't have to buy it. How this person gets along with other people means nothing. The truth is, the relationship between the two of you is extremely bad. Remember that accusations never change facts.

4. Understand that this is not your problem, but their problem. This can be surprisingly difficult to do because unreasonable people have perfected the art of blaming others. If you're dealing with a difficult person, you may be constantly told that everything is your fault. Actually not. As the saying goes, "two bowls clink." Chances are, the more they blame you, the more likely it is actually their fault. Remember not to think of this as a way to blame them. Only difficult people blame, and they are very good at it. You just have to face reality in order to help yourself. Speaking of which, here’s a simple way to tell: If you take responsibility for your mistakes and resolve to improve, chances are it’s not you. Remember, difficult people "never make mistakes."
