hey rodelbulan I don't think there's a real difficult people and I figure every one in the world has his or her 'weakness', maybe it's better to say the switch for connection, it's may be a interest, a manner of speaking, a background or a life style and something else, once if you would find it out correctly, it's easier to handle the diffcult people. Have a nice day.

Well we have nothing to do with it because it's inevitable. According to Bo Sanchez, our local preacher, 'since men are inevitable to make mistakes, so does difficult people are inevitable in our lives.' To handle it, well personally I think I'll just accept it and BE HONEST. It's true what the quotes say that "similarities create friendship, but differences hold them together" at first, you wouldn't know if this person has some moodswings or what and eventually you'll realize that this person isn't perfect at all.. thus, to keep the friendship, one should be honest enough to tell the other person, regardless of how this person will feel. In the long run, this friend will realize that you're just concern enough to be honest about what you really feel about him. But if he doesn't accept that, well it's not my problem.. I just told the truth =D So far in my college life I experienced a lot of difficult people on a daily basis. I can't avoid them because they were my classmates. I tried to be honest and told them things in a very nice and sincere way, but even that didn't help. So I just thought that probably God allows 'difficult people' to come into our lives for us to know how to react in these kind of situation and for us to learn the value of TRUST and LOVE. However, we should not hold grudges with these people, as they are only mere instruments for our development. [u]Things surely happen for a reason and each people you meet always have their purpose. =D [/u]

I love your response! I have learned a lot. In addition to that maybe its better to give them the benefit of the doubt... Sometimes, we didn't see what is happening to these people... they might have some personal problems that affects their lives. Thanks for a very nice and interesting response again!

Since you refer about jobs. I will share my experience on handling difficult people. But this is about student. My approach to handle difficult people. Firstly build a good relationship with your peers. Try to communicate with them regularly, and ask what is the problem beyond their jobs. Approach them in a manner that you like a brother to them. Be considerate on what are their grievances are? Make a clear explanation on things that they cannot understand. Be respectful with your peers. one of the best is befriend with them. If they feel you are their friends, and you create respect from their parts your not manage them hardly. I think this share is pointing out what you need to know about
