The 8 Types Of Difficult People by djsaintboss(m): 6:42pm On Jul 05, 2014 |
1. Openly Aggressive People: These people are the bullies who are often abusive and intimidating. They believe their “victims” are weak and deserve the treatment they give them. They are therefore stimulated by signs of weakness. There are three subtypes in this group. (a) Sherman Tank: Attack not just your idea or project, but you personally as well. Confrontational, pointed, harassing and angry. Examples: bullying from your boss, sexual harassment in the work place. (b) Snipers Feel very strongly about how others should think and act rude comments, biting sarcasm Attempts to make you look foolish. Example love forcing their opinions on you. (c) Exploder after initial calm explodes into uncontrolled ranting and raving. Nut cases I say 2. Complainers: Feel overwhelmed by an unfair world, like bringing their problems to you. Complainers find fault with everything. These are fearful people who have little faith in themselves and others because they believe in a hostile world. It can be difficult to recognize a true Complainer. They are skilled at starting problems in such a critical manner that it is hard to separate real problems from complaints. And people around them become defensive because they know the Complainer will be the first to blame them if something goes wrong. Complainers themselves feel powerless to correct the situations they complain about. Relying on others to fix the problem perpetuates their own belief that they are without blame or fault. 3. Clams: characteristics- No verbal feedback, No non-verbal feedback, say nothing. These people react to questions you have posed, controversial statements you have made, and indeed any situation they deem disagreeable, by clamming up or saying nothing. Just when you want a response, they may grunt, give a no or yes or more likely say nothing. It is difficult to discern a Clam from a quiet person. However, quiet people are not likely to avoid direct questions, whereas Clams are. For instance, you have asked a colleague to not park so close to your car in the company parking lot. A Clam will say nothing. A quiet person will at least respond in some way. The biggest problem in dealing with Clams is you don’t know what the silence or lack of response means. You can’t say what’s on their mind…. 4. Super–Agreeable: What is so difficult about communicating with someone who is always pleasant and supportive of your ideas? Nothing, until you want that person to do something for you. Super-Agreeable want to be liked and accepted by everyone, so to achieve this they are outgoing, sociable and very personable. However, the danger here is they will agree with you about one thing and then agree with the next person whose ideas are contrary to yours. At work, the Super- Agreeable will volunteer to do every job and get none of them done. 5. NO /negative person: characteristics - Able to defeat big ideas with a single syllable, deadly to morale. No/negative person are extremely pessimistic, negative and more bitter than complainers. Usually, they feel defeated or powerless in regard to the situation. And the more you try to solve a problem or improve a situation, the more negative they become. 6. Know–it-All: Has a low tolerance for correction and contradiction. Apparently confident, often condescending; their claimed knowledge may be real or fake; and they are often poor listeners 7. Maybe Person: Procrastinates in hope that a better choice will present itself Indecisive, or Maybe Persons, are very helpful people; however, they put off making decisions which might upset someone. The serious problem here is that indecisiveness can work – most unmade decisions become irrelevant through time. For them, not making a decision is a compromise between being honest and not hurting someone. 8. The envious person: Envy of this type is fear by comparison. Feeling “less than”, “inferiority complex” because you perceive that someone else is “more than” in some particular area. It could happen when working on a project with your colleague, they might feel threatened by you or you might be seen as a threat to your immediate boss who might think you have an eye in his or her position. The jealous neighbour who questions every new car you buy, spreading rumors, cooking up stories …. The list is endless. Finally Conflict between people arises inevitably and we all have to be prepared to manage difficult relationships at home and in the workplace from time to time challenging people can turn a perfectly good day into a dramatic experience without any reason. When walking away is not an option, what do you do? Source: Ochulor Eze 1 Like |
