Dealing with difficult people
Difficult People:
A well-known local attorney, David St John gave a presentation here in CV in 2008, A key component of the talk dealt with “Dealing with difficult people”; First step - DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM.
- “Difficult people really like being difficult. Their purpose or objective is to get you mad they feel good when you get mad.
- For many difficult people, their purpose is to make the Manager, President or Board (or all three) look bad to prove you are wrong and they are right. Some researchers into this behavior believe that these people have a unique self-esteem problem where they can only feel good about themselves if they can make someone else look bad or feel bad. This is the only way they can feel empowered in their lives. THEY RARELY CHANGE!
- Really difficult people get no sense of satisfaction from working to solve community problems.”

This is very, very true. It is as if one is using a pair of old-fashioned grocery scales, the kind where there is a container with a known weight on one side, say ten pounds, and a similar container on the other side being filled with sugar until the two sides balance. Then you know you've sold the customer ten pounds of sugar.
ReplyDeleteOnly the malcontent in his mind is weighing people, or more specifically the bad points about people. He is only satisfied with himself if he can convince you that his faults weigh less on the scale than those of somebody else, preferably somebody accomplished and well known. Making the other fellow go down on the scales makes him go UP. His being able to CONVINCE YOU of this is tell-tale and essential to his ego, and he will lie, cheat, misrepresent and exaggerate to accomplish this. It's not a temptation unique to the "hardcore malcontent." It's a sobering temptation to evil we all face.
Thx Lanny. I call those people haters and vandals, They only want to destroy the good work done by our workers and volunteers. Vandalism is such a sad thing. Our village is important and needs to be looked after constantly.
