How to Deal with Difficult People Who Are NOT Full-Blown Narcissists

People can be difficult. No lie, right! Sometimes, they are difficult for a moment. Sometimes, through a rough patch. Today’s episode is help for dealing with those two kinds of occasionally difficult behavior. Although these strategies are foundational to what you have to do when you’re with the relentlessly difficult, toxic people I call #Hijackals, there is SO much more to learn about how to effectively manage toxic relationships. That’s why most of the episodes on Save Your Sanity are very specific to the #Hijackals, the folks who will create toxic relationships, for sure. But, you will meet moments when even those people who can be mostly loving are difficult. These areas in today’s episode are worth exploring within yourself. You may find that you would feel better–and more prepared and confident–if you got some more skills to respond to these situations.
