Even when you are full of purpose and vision, some people can really get you down. I have a client who is literally rude, cold, unfeeling, and cheep. She teaches disabled children but in real life she is frigged and incapable of appreciation. For someone like me who is built to serve and add value, working with this women is very stressful since all that I have to offer is rejected. Kind of depressing.
So how do you deal with people like this, always demanding, always unhappy.
I am curious to hear what others have to say.
For myself, I am going to get in and get the job done and get out. Mostly, I will not invest any more of my heart. I keep that for those best able to receive it. That's the hard thing, though, holding back what you normally give freely. Sometimes it just needs to be done in order to preserve your juice.
Never let another person pollute your heart. It's best to keep silent when talking with people like this. Just do your work and express nothing. Why do I say this? Because unfeeling people cause those with feelings to be more expressive and more emotional. When this happens we get too wrapped up in the situation and this only makes us more sick. This is why I say give no emotional concern when others make to feel worthless. When people make you feel worthless, do not reciprocate the same. Just stand, serve and smile, and say nothing. Speak nothing, express nothing. Just know in your heart you are doing the best you can and never try to convince them. That's when you get really sick.
Hope this helps all the Genuine Optimists out there.
