How to deal with difficult people?

如何和難處的人打交道？

Don’t Cave to Every Demand

不要應承所有要求

Just because difficult people become demanding or aggressive, doesn’t mean you need to do what they say. In fact, giving in can reinforce their tactics. Be willing to say no when difficult people make unreasonable demands.

不要因為對方相當苛刻或盛氣凌人，你就任由他們頤指氣使。其實，你的遷就反倒會助長他們的氣焰。如果對方提出不合理的要求，請主動拒絕。

End the Conversation if Necessary

必要的話，結束對話

If the conversation gets ugly, be prepared to end it. Don’t allow someone to become threatening or verbally abusive. Instead, make it clear you aren’t willing to hold conversations with people who treat you in a disrespectful manner.

如果對話變得越來越難聽，那就不要再溝通下去了。不要縱容對方變得咄咄逼人、甚至口出臟言。相反，你應該明確表示不愿與粗魯講話的人進行溝通。
