If you have to deal with a really crabby person – here's what to do...
If you know a real grouch – or someone who’s consistently negative – Dr. Judy Kuriansky, author or “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to a Healthy Relationship,” tells us what to do:
• The business as usual approach is your best bet. Ignore the crankiness and try to respond without emotion. It helps defuse the situation.
• Try picturing their true source of misery. Most of us have a little more tolerance towards someone once we determine why they’re suffering.
When all else fails – walk away – at least temporarily. It will help you both reflect on how you want to handle the situation without blowing your stack.
