Each one of us is different and unique, and you’ll meet partners, friends, bosses and strangers totally different from you, with opinions and ways of acting that will make you believe that they have a problem with you, that they act like they’re superior, just to annoy you.
There are a few methods so you can cope with this relationships. By understanding some essential things about life and people’s way of thinking, your life will become much more easier.
People don’t do things in order to hurt you, they do things because they want the best for themselves
I once tried to get to a friend of mine, I wrote him on Facebook, I texted him 100 times, but he didn’t answer for an entire day. I started to panic, thinking that something might have happened to him, so I called him again.
He answered so calmly, like nothing happened, telling me that he had his phone on silent (for 2 days) because he wanted to relax. I thought “nobody would keep his phone on silence for so long”.
What I’m trying to say with this story is that people will do such things because they’re thinking of themselves. They are not trying to hurt you, they aren’t putting themselves in you shoes. It’s simply their way of being, totally different from mine and yours, probably.
People have their own style, many times different than yours
You know that moment when you ask someone for something and they tell you “Okay, I’ll do it right away”, and after 2 weeks it’s still not done? They probably postpone it for a day because they don’t feel like doing it, and they end up delaying it forever.
When I promise that I’ll do something, I’ll do it right away. You have to understand that those people aren’t trying to annoy you, they just act differently than you.
Nobody is perfect, we all have our problems
One day, I apologized to someone for stressing him out and always asking him to hurry up, and he actually thanked me, saying that he needs to be reminded of some things because he has a memory problem. In that moment, I realized that I thought of him like a perfect person that can do anything right away, but in reality, we’re all just humans, we all have our problems. Don’t judge others, try to put yourself in their shoes for a moment.
The scenarios you make up in your head are, many times, far from reality
Imagine this: you’re talking with someone on the phone for 5 minutes and suddenly they hung up on you. You try to call but they don’t answer, so you start imagining that you have upset them or they hung up on purpose, only to find out later that their battery was dead.
We make this scenarios because of our egos, because we want to believe that it’s always something related to us, when in reality, it’s probably not.
