How To Deal With Difficult People Without Going Insane

It seems like everyone on the planet has a difficult person to strangle, er, I mean to grapple with. But “What special gifts do Difficult People give you?”

I could list down a hundred gifts, but keeping the list short will make it easier to appreciate.

Are you ready?

Here are the big 4 gifts you receive from difficult people. (Note: Check out especially Gift #2, because that’s what many people don’t do…)

Gift #1:

Difficult people can teach you how to love, preparing you for Heaven!
§ You learn to become more patient, more understanding, more persevering.
§ You have pity for them because you realize that “Hurt people hurt people”
§ You learn to see the good qualities even among difficult people.
§ You learn how to be compassionate as God is compassionate.
§ You learn how to forgive, to remove bitterness from your heart.

Gift #2:

Difficult people can teach you to protect yourself and learn to say “No” to abuse.
§ You learn to love yourself, respect yourself, by no longer allowing abuse.
§ You learn to be courageous and stand up against bullies.
§ You learn to give tough love—refusing his abuse again. It may be the most loving thing you can do for a difficult person.
§ You wizen up, learn tact, and learn how to distance yourself from harmful people.

Gift #3:

Difficult people can help you get to know your weaknesses.
§ Difficult people remind you that you too could be difficult to others.
§ Difficult people teach you many important lessons in life. By seeing the tragic results of their actions, you’re inspired to do the very opposite of what they do.

Gift #4:

Difficult people can bring you closer to God.
§ Difficult people force you to pray a lot. (“Lord, help! I can’t take it anymore!”)
§ Difficult people force you to trust in God. (“Lord, I give up! I’ve done everything but she’s still a monster…”)
§ Praying for difficult people may not change them, but YOU will.
§ “Your cross (difficult person) is your key to heaven…” St. Poveda
§ You realize that YOU are God’s difficult person—yet you’re still loved by God!

Friend, God allows difficult people into your life to give you these 4 gifts.

Don’t miss receiving them!

There are different degrees of being difficult, I consider myself to be a difficult person, but only with those who are difficult with me. I peronally think a great deal to the effect that I really worry when I do somethng wrong does this make me more difficult - yes I guess it does.

In life we have to deal with all kinds of people even difficult ones.

Its up to you and me how we define "DIFFICULT".. into what extent you can tolerate the attitude. If you accepted them as they are then they don't belong to the "difficult people"...

I think everyone has a certain degree of being difficult, and most probably have theirs reasons for being so.

I think that everyone is difficult to a certain degreesome more than others, some people just are more deep and think more than others it is just a case of accepting them.
