Re: People that get under your skin

We have choices; whether it is at work, or posting here, or dealing with family, or dealing with neighbors-either allow the person to "get under your skin" and be miserable or learn to deal with difficult people.

 

It would also be beneficial to reflect on WHY a person gets under one's skin; often what we dislike in others is a reflection in our own mirrors.

 

AND it can also be our own impatience, lack of composure, and skewered perception of the person. 

 

Not everyone who "gets under our skin" is doing it on purpose nor are those people being labeled in a right manner.

What if they post on here?

 


I imagine I have that "ignore" button so many long-time posters have written about.

 

My 'ignore' person is a popular, well liked poster, but just drives me nuts. I rarely stay to read or post on a thread when this one shows up.

Funny what 'gets under your skin'isn't it?

Re: People that get under your skin

How do I handle it?

 

I try to avoid them, if I can.

 

If I can't, I try to remember to be a better person and not react.   

 

Treat everyone with kindness..you can't go wrong if you do that.

 

Of course, many times easier said than done.
