Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. My social studies teacher those days will say it is quite easier to deal with animals than deal with humans; even though humans are classified as higher-class animals, they still behave in the worst ways, and they will leave you wondering if they really are higher-class animals or if they lobbied their way there. There are certain characters a group of people or an individual will exhibit, and you will be left in shock and even speechless while you let the whole thing play back in your head.
images used are mine.
As we go about our daily lives, we must have different encounters with people; some of these encounters are bad and leave us with a lesson, while some of these encounters are good, and we look forward to having more of such, but we don't come across people who are well-behaved all the time, so we must learn to brace ourselves for the days when we meet people that leave us with reasons not to want anything to do with people. Trust me when I say people will push you to the point you wish you were the only one on earth just so you don't have to deal with people like that anymore. Dealing with people can be difficult, but we have our ways around it.
As our faces are different, so are our characters and how we behave; how some people behave makes us compatible with them, but some people behave in a way, and at that moment you already know that you cannot be compatible with them. We have people who are reserved and hardly talk, and then we have people who can talk from morning to night and never get tired of doing so. We also have people who can stay indoors and not bother about what's going on outside, and there are also those who cannot spend more than an hour indoors. We are all humans but wired differently.
So how do I deal with people?
Set boundaries: You let those who cross paths with you know what you can tolerate and what you cannot tolerate, and that way everyone will know how to behave around you and know how to deal with you as well.
Observant: Pay attention to what people around you do, what they say, and how they say it so that you will know how to react and how to respond too. Watching and observing things going on around you will help you deal with people better.
Finally, don't always react off emotions; sometimes before you react, put yourself in the shoes of others and try to see from their own perspective before you go about reacting. In dealing with people, there will come a time they will wrong you, but reacting off emotions can end badly sometimes.
Setting boundaries is so important. It’s very essential to let people know their limits around you all the time.
I'm observant about people but when it comes to boundaries I find it challenging with people untill I reach my breaking point
My problem is how to set boundaries within offending others.
