I’m generally a nice happy person until you offend me…then I go all out and ‘nam on your [you know what] because, well, I choose myself all the damn time…does that make me an asshole?

I think it is very helpful. Your advice makes a lot of sense. I try to follow your advice about the four types of people. I agree that you cannot give stupid people advice.

I don’t know why she was telling everyone I was crazy, when I had the acceptance letter at home. I later found out that she wasn’t even enrolled in university all that time she was hanging out with us. She was pretending. SHE was the liar! But in psychology, I believe it’s called projection and reflection. She stalked me around campus, she gossiped about me, she threatened to call the authorities on me (although I don’t know what the reason would be). But it was all her way of deflecting the fact she was living in university housing, had her child in university daycare and was getting all the perks of university life without actually going to class! When I came back from Europe, I ran into her again briefly but made it clear I was not having anything to do with her. But I found out later that she was gossiping about me yet again, getting information from mutual friends and again trying to cause havoc. I told our mutual friends that I thought she was a freak and a liar and not to give her any more info about me. The mutual friends looked genuinely surprised because they were under the impression (from her) that we were best buds. Eventually she had to stop and move onto her next target because people would ask, ‘Well, when was the last time you actually spoke with her (me)?’ And after a year it kind of got stale.
Just stay clear of these horrible people because if you don’t associate with them they can’t say they are your friends and weasel into your life.

Thanks for the great advice. I’m a licensed massage and skin care therapist and sometimes clients.. Well rub me the wrong way. 97 percent are great! I usually refer the “ones” who are “difficult” to another therapist or just ignore them. Thank god for the block feature on the iPhone. Sometimes the customer isn’t always right. I had one recently try to blame me for his parking ticket. I told him . “You had exact directions into the free guest garage” .. No response .. I was like “uh huh .. Nice try” then I blocked .. Frustrating clients or people are bit worth your time or your money and certainly not both

I am so tired of dealing with my crappy, lucky brother and his equally crappy, lucky wife. They live to critique me, embarrass me and ridicule me. It really takes a lot out of me on a daily basis and they completely ruined the wonderful relationship I used to enjoy with my folks. For 2 months I have been letting these 2 live rent free in my head and only to watch the both of them continually succeed. Completely being nonchalant to their existence sounds like a good way to help ME and not them. Hopefully it works. Will try,
Mari

Great article just started reading your articles today very insightful. One thing for sure stuck out and that is it’s easier to do a thousand pushups than not talk about crappy people behind their back. That’s so true I use to do 500 to a thousand within a hour almost every night for wrestling my junior and senior year of high school. Now I’m 32 and still struggle with not saying anything about crappy people.

Thanks Nick Dalessandro
