It’s the crappy people apocalypse. They’re loose everywhere.

Must. Find. Shelter.

To avoid these type of people, you need first to learn how to spot them, and then, deal with them.

Here’s how…

Always be polite.

Don’t seek their level of crappiness. When they’re rude, you’re nice.

Be sincere. Use your manners.

Kill their negativity with your kindness.

Address issues with the person directly.

We think conflict is bad. It’s not.

Healthy conflict stretches us. It helps us think outside of the box. It gets us to think about things differently.

Don’t sweep issues under the rug, where they have the chance to ferment and grow. Address them kindly and to the point.

• When you spoke to me last night, it caused a problem because of x, y, and z.
• What can you do next time to talk to me differently and consider my feelings?

Whatever it is, address it to their face, with respect.

If they don’t acknowledge your feelings, it’s another way to spot a crappy person.
