Life comes with obnoxious people but letting them ruin your day, your life or career is not necessary.
There are five ways to deal with a contemptible person.
- Ignore them.
- Don’t reply quickly to anything they say.
- Prove them wrong but say it indirectly to avoid further confrontation.
- Define your boundaries beyond which you will speak up and stop the bullying.
- Get them out of your life (and that includes family members).
No one has to suffer a bully unless they are prepared to continue losing their self-respect.
