Can the Relationship Be Saved?

They get on that last nerve all the while oblivious to the damage they cause in another's life.

They’re rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful, intrusive, self-absorbed and insensitive.
They are the difficult people in life. The button-pushers.

It’s nerve-wracking to confront a difficult person or put them on the spot to find they
always blame someone else. That they remain convinced it’s some other person’s fault and not theirs
at all is mind-boggling. So, what’s a person to do?

Dealing with a difficult person can be frustrating and exhausting,
someone who constantly rubs the wrong nerve and drives you crazy

some button-pushers act as though the world revolves around them.
They are constantly talking of their troubles and barely paying attention to someone else’s
and, “They have a diminished capacity for empathy for the feelings of others and perceive other people as nagging, blaming, persecuting, controlling, or —worst of all— insignificant”

  1. Dealing with difficult people in particular is really tough...

    If the person in question a unreasonable throughout then it is easier to dismiss the relationship. But if the person behaves as a gem at one time and is impossible to tolerate at other times, then the unpredictability becomes a nightmare. That is the most crucial To Be or Not to be syndrome...

  2. In such a scenario i guess best would be to understand the status of mind of the person in question as to why there is such a sway in their actions/reactions.There might be an inner most hidden truth/fact behind their behavior.You need to know a bit of human psychology though you don't have to be a doctor and if the person in question is someone important in life then you need to know and act responsibly in understanding and behaving accordingly with them.
    If at all it is not worth all this best would be to sacrifice the relationship and move on in life and spare the one in question too along with all those involved:-)

    there are always only 2 doors open to any problem- To be or not to be? :-)
