How to Work with People Who Irritate You
February 28, 2011 by Steve
Working with people who irritate you on a regular basis can drain your energy and dampen your spirits. I came across a situation like this last week. In this video I share how I dealt with this person in a supportive way that was a win-win and what you can do with people who irritate you.

[..YouTube..] with needless internal anger and stress, which took a toll on my nerves and physical wellbeing. Perhaps I could have overcome it with a mantra similar to yours. It now seemes such a waste of energy. Thanks for your inspirational vids!

[..YouTube..] Very good, Stephen. I was publicly accused/challenged by someone (from my perception) who misunderstood my intentions, and had no way to defend myself without spoiling my own best interests. I tried to erase the anger through positive thinking but it would always come back. It gnawed at me for several months. As it turned out, she later realized she had misunderstood me and extended a hand of conciliation, which it took me over a week to accept. Now things are fine, but I spent months (cont.)

I really like it when people can see outside the box and realize we have so much more control than we thought.
[..YouTube..] It’s good to meet people who are aware of this reality such as this one. I wish more people in the world understood that nothing is personal and that everything is from within. The way we perceive things will dictate our actions. We must take responsibilities for ourselves :)
Have you read any of Eckhart Tolle’s books?
Take care!

Hey Maria – I don’t think I’ve ever read a whole book of Eckhart Tolle, but I have read a few chapters and watched quite a few of his videos online – very cool… :)

[..YouTube..] Ur hard to relate to. ur bad a public speakin, and the longer I listen to you the more I think your on something. Its not life. Its meds and I feel like i’ve had more intelligent conversations with a 10 year old. Sorry I just don’t like you. However you’d probably interpret that as me having low self esteem. Too bad urs is so low ur only concerned with others

You’re cute!
Hi!
Also, to alternate between “I Wish You Well” and “I Wish Myself Well” can be helpful – since (as you also mentioned) the irritation most likely originates from within you and your life situation.
Thank You Steve, I appreciate your sharing your knowledge!
