I know I’m being difficult but…

No. I'm a Capricorn And a stubborn one at that. I was born to be difficult. I only apologize when I do something that I'm sorry for. But you were doing your job, not being difficult. you can feel sorry for they And Even say Sorry Guys but... and then give them the orders.You my friend are not difficult so do not beat yourself over this. Do me a huge favor? Do something fun this weekend.

When I am put in charge..Sometimes it gets like that, where the people who have to listen to me are probably annoyed by the fact that there is so much to do..In my eyes, I just see it as doing the job right (and it comes as a no-brainer to me) but for some of the newer employees at my shop, they might not understand why it's important to do and therefore dislike me when I'm in charge. HA HA. Who knows. It's always tough being a supervisor, isn't it? I can't imagine doing that all the time...

I don't think I would ever want to be in a work position wherein I had to be difficult. I just don't like to have to be the boss. I don't mind giving advice, but if I am going to be the boss it's going to be my own self. Out in the working field I'd rather be the one taking orders, but then again not too many hefty ones. Retail isn't the best life but it's good either way.

It will be difficult if you are supposing otherwise everything is easy. I have not found anything difficult regarding my job even i am attached with other activities of my college than my colleagues. In relationship, sorry i am not involved. lol have a nice time.

Though I try to be a person that isn't difficult, I do find that there are times and places in my life where I am difficult. For me, the place that I find that I'm the most difficult is actually in my relationship with my husband. The reason that I think that this is the case is because of the fact that he is the adult that I spend the most time with. I've been trying to not do that as much these days though.

I am never, ever difficult. In fact, I am the most passive and easy-going person you could ever hope to meet. Well ... maybe when I am sleeping at least? Yes, I have had to apologize for being difficult, especially when I was in the wrong ... or at least could have been a little more subtle in the way I did things. However, when it comes to work I would not apologize unless I thought that the rules or instructions were more complex than they needed to be, but since it is work I would still enforce them.

I've expressed sympathy and awareness of the fact that I am being difficult, but when it comes down to it, the work needs to get done and I do my share.

There's little you can do when work causes you to hand out instructions which aren't welcome. You can do so with an apology, but you can't apologise for just being difficult when you weren't! An explanation of why you had to give the instructions that you did might go more towards fostering an understanding. I'm difficult quite often, not in a work environment, but when I'm in a bad mood. I'm afraid to say that I rarely apologise.

I think we have all been "difficult" at one time or another. I like to think of it as "spirited" though..lol. Now as far as work...well..that is one of those cut and dry things where if there are responsibilities to tend to, it is my job to over see that they get done. Everyone understands that about me and I am not one to choose favorites so they all get the same treatment. At home..I guess..maybe...kind of..that I have been difficult. My youngest daughter thinks I am being difficult at this very moment because she has no cell phone service..but I told her if her room wasn't clean by the time I got home that it was going to happen. I thought it was fair warning and she thought it was me being difficult. Perhaps it is a perspective thing too.

I am in management and can agree with what you wrote. Many times we have to deliver hard messages, direct orders, or changes to what was the standard process for years - people do not like to be told what to do or to make changes - it's a part of human nature. I usually will preface it with, I have to discuss something with you that came down from upper management about our processes. I do not agree with all of it but I do believe that some of it will be a benefit to us. Let's work on it for the time now and see how it goes. If it does not work I can then let upper management know that we tried our best. If it is telling someone to extra work, that happens a lot, since we are short staffed. I usually let them know that either it will be rotated so that one person is not always doing it or that it is assigned to everyone in their group. That way it is fair to all. If we want one person to do it we usually call them in and let them know we need one really good agent to work on a project and your name came up. We would like you to work on it. Sometimes the person is not responsive or says no. Then I can be difficult, especially if it is in their job description. This has recently come up for me and I just said if you feel you cannot fulfill your duties I will allow you to step down and become a regular agent. They were in the VIP pool. You cannot believe how quickly they became productive after that. I hate having to be like that but at times it is a necessity.

In my relationship I definitely have. I have had to for begging my husband to be more romantic with me. I have let it go now because I know that is asking too much from him. I am hoping since I let it go maybe one day he will figure it out. =) Usually I am pretty easy going and don't push too much but with that I used to a lot...

I have experienced that in my relationship right now. And I always say sorry for making it difficult. Though it is just about time, a time that I could spend with him, still he thinks it is not enough. If only I have a lot of time, I would love to spend it with him. But I have other things which I need to take care like my studying which is very important.

It is how you give out the instructions that will elicit their cooperation. Don't give out the instructions like an order but say please. Even if it is a part of the job, you have to understand that workers also want to be treated well. They can be rather sensitive especially when it means longer hours and more work. However,I understand that you also need to fulfill your responsibility but perform it in a manner than will enhance work relationships and not destroy them.

We sometimes cant help being difficult at times might it be in a relationship or at work. we are only human, we do feel stressed, bored,etc.,, but whats important is that at the end of the day we find time to approach the person and say sorry for being difficult to them. It is our way of making them feel that they were important to us and that we value them and the relationship we have for them whether as partners or co-workers. we should also understand what they feel the moment we've been difficult to them, but by approaching them and letting them know that we are sorry for what happened they will seem to understand us also. this will lead to a more harmonious relationship with them.

There are many times, especially in my relationship with my husband I have had to apologize for something. Especially when it seems to be over a misunderanding where I feel no one seems to understand. But lately it has been that way with me at work as well, and it can be quite difficult. Finding a way sometimes to ever be appreciated seems like always the hardest thing to do.

hi bounce I think a lot of employees when their boss is known to be fair always can handle some difficult times with their bosses as its their job to guide the workers and they have rules that they must abide by even if they do not always like them their selves still they must enforce them.Good employees can usually understand that a good fair boss also has a boss she has to work under bosses too and rules.

I think most people would find me "not" difficult - especially in a work situation. At my last job, as I was the only technical employee, I never had to bark orders at anyone in the shop, but I did have to deal with the people we outsourced with. We were at their mercy when it came to hitting our deadlines . . . so I did apologize to them for some of the stuff I had to throw at them. Seriously, some of my requests were ridiculous - and I was the "diplomat" of the company - so I had to do whatever it took to be able to get the job out for the client. I know if I was being difficult, they'd never be doing the favors for me. My bosses were not so good at being "diplomatic", so people were not so willing to do favors for them as they did for me. But my hubby will tell you I can be difficult - ha ha. I'm the stubborn one - the analytical one - always overly questioning things. It's not like we fight over it - but sure I will apologize - when the timing is right - ha ha!!!
