3 Strategies for Dealing With Toxic People Dont expect them to not be difficult. Once youve identified a difficult person, adjust your expectations so youre not blindsided by their actions, and create some emotional distance. Say to yourself, Here we go again. When these types of people arent getting what they want, they push you into anger or exasperation, making it difficult for you to think clearly. Reframe the situation--remember, this is their issue, not yours. Most difficult people provoke us because theyre often hiding something--a lack of competence, a lack of ability or something they were supposed to do and didnt do, And by provoking us, either from anger or whining and complaining, what they often try to do is distract us from exposing whatever that thing is that theyre hiding. Remove the truly difficult people--in life and in business. The more you can recognize and remove difficult people from your profile, the more positive the culture [will be], and the more people will want to engage with you.
