Some individuals are just less difficult to work with than others. Within a survival scenario, lives can depend upon successfully navigating a tough relationship. These methods can help.
FIRST – COME TO TERMS WITH THAT THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE DIFFICULTY.
Many problems develop when an individual is convinced of his ‘chronic uniqueness.’ This is the thinking by a person that no one could ever be trusted to make judgments affecting him due to the belief that his situation, background, wants, specifications, needs and dreams are MUCH different compared to anyone else’s. Informing this person he is mistaken will certainly place him on the defensive and result in more time-consuming discord. Acknowledge this particular self-deception for what it is and avoid taking offense if you notice it in other people while guarding against it in your own thinking.
