And above all else an answer to the problem

Wait? An answer to the problem? Isn't that what I am trying to figure out now? Well, you darn tooting it are what you are trying to figure out. Yet, what I am saying is you will need to understand the entirety of the problem. This starts with naming the problem. Now try not to interrupt me again please.


Anyway, the problem needs definition, otherwise you can't move ahead. What is the problem? Why is the person giving you a problem? Keep asking and you will receive. Is someone arguing with you? Is someone annoying you? Is someone pushing into doing something you don't want to do?

Possibly a friend wants you to loan your car. Possibly this friend drinks and drives therefore you are less attractive to the idea. Ok, you told your friend no, but he/she is not understanding what no means. The problem is you have a pushy friend who is inconsiderate of your feelings. Likely, since the friend drinks and drives he/she has little responsibility and is failing to see consequences. The friend may also be in denial and defensive. In this case, you have a serious problem that may just take you to getting help.

The most important thing in this case is to not loan your car. You can approach the pusher and tell him/her that the law arrests drunk drivers, and will tow the car. Thus, his/her behaviors will cost both of you money, as well as cause complications in the future. Explain the laws to him/her. If the person doesn't understand, move onto the next level.

Are you dealing with a person that likes to argue? Every time you see this person does he/she approach you with his problems and argues with you? If the person likes to argue most likely, he disrespects others and fails to see truths. He doesn't have the facts.

Is someone annoying you ongoing? Is this person demonstrating habits that drive you nuts? If so then this person has a problem, and you are the one getting the wrong end of the stick.

No matter what the problem is, you can deal with it effectively. The key is to deliver assertively your feelings without judging, criticizing, over dramatizing, use false assumptions, pointing the fingers and so on. If you follow the guidelines by leaving out the feelings and words that could lead to bigger problems, likely you will conquer the difficult person.

Remember while dealing with difficult people, these people is the problem. Don't let you get caught up in taking responsibility for their actions, feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and the like. Try hard to avoid using opinions, rather give him/her the facts and for instances so that the person is aware you have evidence to support your claims.

The most important issue here is confronting the problem and stop putting it off. If you put off the problem it will only continue, and gradually may worsen.
