How to avoid irritating

I take deep breaths, try to keep my mind blank and not to think about it too much. Walking away helps too but of course as long as that doesnt flare up anyone else's anger and it wouldnt seem to rude to do. Ive had dealt a lot with difficult people so I guess Im just used to it, no matter how rude they may be. I can still get a grip on my anger. Anyway, Im sure you can manage yours. Just have to think that bursting up will not solve anything and might just make matters worse.

It's hard to be nice when another person isn't being nice, especially when it comes to dealing with people in a store, etc. The best thing to do is to smile, and just think before you speak. So only nice things and only in a nice way. If your complaining, try to complain nicely. If the other person's angry, one of two things will happen, you'll calm them down, or you'll make them look like that bad person. Either way, if they are the employee if they don't calm down they can get in trouble. Just try to be as nice as possible, take a deep breath and if you can walk away from the situation for a few moments. Nice to finally see a discussion from you lynettebyc, I hope your doing well!

Hello lynettebyc. When I feel offended, it is the same that I get very angry. The way I try to avoid irritating is to ignore the one by leaving him alone. I don't usually lose my temper, but the one who irritates me knows it if I leave the spot because I don't want to make me getting further angry because of this. So to stay away from it can make me calm down. I know that I will be ok after some time.

Hi lynette, I always used to say my mind without thinking what or how it would affect the situation I was in...now though I tend to walk away from situations unless they really need addressing then I do let 'rip'!...littleowl

Hi lyn, I would just go for a walk, just go out round the block till the other other person calm down and you ca think for a while, by the time you come back all will be fine, you'll see. Tamara

When I meet someone who is not polite to me, usually I just close my eyes, take a deep breath, smile, and forget about him/her. There are still many good people here in MyLot that I can be friends with.

i easily get irritated when people around me are cranky, most of the time i don't talk and i lock myself up in my room..i don't wanna be with grouchy people bcause i get affected easily..
