Respect yourself...

It would be best if we could avoid people who are considered difficult. Unfortunately, in most situations this is impossible. We are forced to communicate or cooperate with them, at school, at college, at work, at home, in the neighborhood.
Difficult people have communication styles that are aimed at manipulating and creating the experience of inequality in a relationship. If we met their expectations, we would "get caught" and play a communication game that they dictate and that they practiced well. The consequence will be that we will feel humiliated, frustrated ... which is their goal and form of domination. It is enough to find yourself in a traffic jam or in a queue at the post office and bank during the day to realize that there are arrogant, rude and rude people all around us… The problem is when we realize that we are surrounded by the same people and say at work, where we should spend at least eight hours every day. We cannot change other people's behavior, but we can change our approach to such people. When someone annoys you, the first instinct is to respond with the same measure. But remember, you always have control over yourself! Choose not to enter the drama. No matter how the other person acts, you control your behavior, just as she controls her own. Stay cool, take a deep breath and give yourself room to calm down. Remember, you don't have to go down to their level, it will probably only make things worse.

People sometimes behave rudely and rudely in order to show dominance and power or to provoke some reaction from you. Don’t give them that pleasure to see you get angry. Because you are a good role model and treat everyone honestly, kindly and compassionately, you show the kind of behavior you expect from those around you.

When all else fails, keep in mind that sometimes it’s best to just walk away… If you’ve done everything possible to make a person aware of their actions and have tried to show kindness and empathy, that person may be incapable of treating you kindly.
You have freedom of choice at all times ... You have the right to say NO at all times ... You have choice at all times. Then why do you agree to compromises? When you allow others to belittle you, disrespect you, lie, manipulate you, do not blame other people ..... In fact, you allowed them to do so. If you believe that you don't deserve better and that you have no choice, you will never get better ... Out of fear you will allow your boss to harass you, you will allow business partners to manipulate you, you will allow your spouse to lie to you ... People treat you as you allow them to.

Never allow anyone to treat you with disrespect.
