D C4 The atmosphere always seems to be tense when Michelle's in the room. [) ‘ound familiar? Unfortunately, some people are more difficult to gat on with than others, Let's have a look at six ‘dificult’ personality lypes, and offer some advice on how to deal with them. THE NEWHALL “The frst on the lst isthe know-it-all Know-italls se themselves as experts on everything. They appear inoviledgeable and will speak confidently about aimost “Ii. any subject, often making other people feel stupid oF inferior. This persorality type is conceited and compettive and is likely to react to others ideas or arguments ararily or dismissive, First of at, dont take smeir behaviour personally it affects most people that they come into contact ‘with. Knowsivalls are driven by a need to control and they use the knowledge as a shield’ to protect themselves rem unceriainty. So In order to cope with this type you need to get them to consider your ideas without directly questioning thei expertise. This means that youneed to be ‘well prepared and diplomatic. i THE Civ BABY Next is‘the cry baby: As the name suggests, the cry baby behaves like 3 chid when they don’t get their own vay. ‘Thay use moodiness to manipulate other people. They'll go away and sulk, giving you the silent’ teatment, or they complain and even start to rant and rave ‘sbout how nobody listens to them or takes them Seriously, etc This infantile and inappropriate behaviour can be very annoying, You need to find out why the cry baby acts like they do. If they are selfishly tocking for attention, your best policy is smply to ignore them. However, If ther behaviour stems from a feal lack of confidence, they need support ond encouragement. THE BOSSy=000TS Next on the unwanted lists the bossy. ‘boots: This type of person Is always telling other people what to do. They have a very stoong personality and will walk allover you if you let them. They are so ‘used to doing things their way, that they hhave pushiness down toa fine art. A lot fof the time youll find yourself doing what they ‘want, Just for a quiet life a Don't ty to beat a bossy-boots at their own game: there's no point in telling them what :o do. ‘Your fest tak ts to learn to say "Not This ill be dlifficul initially, but after you've said it orce, itt! {get much easier, The tick fs 0 remain calm and polite: this way youtl be able to stand up to them Without beng drawn into a ight or an argument. THE LOOSE’ CANNON The next type well look at isthe loose canner. Like'a cannon which is not tied ‘down ane ralls around on the deck of a ship, ‘this personality type is unpredictable and ‘can Cause preblems. & loose cannon tends {0 act impulsively without thinking about the consequences, Understandably, people feel anxious around them because they appear to ‘be out of contral and unapproachable, A loose cannon needs to be made avare that their behaviour is irresponsible and of the effect their actions have on other people. You can do this, not by reacting negatively at the time of an incident, but by waiting until you are both calm tater and uietly describing what happened. Mest people have come across the next type the wet blanket, a some time in ther lives, Wet blankets are negative and ‘tical They don't seem able to wee the ppositive in any situation and always think that the vorst will happen. Their attitude rakes them appear insensitive and spoils things for other people. You have nvo options with the wet blanket. You an try to show them the positive where they see the negative. Or you can take what they say at face value, s0 for example, when you Invite them to 2 plenie at the weekend and they say i'l probably rain, you simply reply:“OK, so you don't Want 9 come, then?” THE SPACE CADET ‘he last type is the space cadet: This kind of person is intriguing because they seem tolbe in a world of their own and are out of touch with reality, They have difficulty paying attention or remembering things. and sometimes behave strangely, which can make other people feel This type can be frustrating, but they are not likely to provoke very negative reactions. Try Instead to make the best of their uniqueness end don't put trem in a postion where you need t0 rely on them for anything. ueVOCABULARY ‘Think Back!
