Stoic Stress Ep 101 : Enchiridion 42 : Dealing With Difficult People
Enchiridion 42 looks at how we deal with other people who may be difficult to us. There may be some sort of conflict from personality or a situation.
People act this way because this is how they think they should behave. To them they are doing what they think is right. The thing is there are different expectations for each side and each individual.
We cannot impose our viewpoint on others. It is up to them to change their behavior or opinion. We are only affected by negative emotions unless we allow ourselves to be. It affects our way of thinking if we let it affect us.
The truth is what it is. We let ourselves get hurt when we insert our own opinion of what the truth is. We must be open minded to those we are in conflict with. Think about the source of behavior and actions of others. They may not be a bad person but personal situation makes them act as they do.
Certain healthy boundaries need to be set in order to move forward. This allows some separation to look at things with reason and from the other individual’s perspective. It also helps to let us measure our response when something happens.
