It's Time to Stop Stressing Over Shitty People

Have you ever noticed that when you’re around certain people, you just can’t shake the negative vibe? It’s like their very presence brings out the worst in you, and no matter how hard you try to be civil and polite, it feels impossible to turn off your internal critic. If this has ever happened to you, then it’s time to take action and stop stressing over shitty people in your life. Here are some simple ways to handle negative relationships like an adult and get back your self-respect, too!

Don't Give Negative People The Power:

____________ might seem like a nice person, but avoid that negativity at all costs. Don’t let negative people into your life; remove them from your phone book and social media, or walk away if you can’t remove them. Negativity is contagious; by choosing to eliminate it from your life, you open yourself up to more positive opportunities. ____________ is not worth stressing over.

Haters Gonna Hate:

Nobody wants to hear it, but haters are always going to hate it. We can't control what other people think about us or our work, so we're better off taking a deep breath and moving on. The sooner you realize that everybody has their own problems and preoccupations—and if they don't, there's a reason for that—the less time you'll waste worrying about what others think of you.

How To Tell Who Is A Hater And Who Isn't:

There are a few tell-tale signs that can help you determine if someone is a hater or not. Here’s how it works:

Know That There Are Good And Bad In Every Situation:

You’re going to get called a bad parent for getting your child a tattoo (not really). You may get fired for wearing flip-flops at work. Someone may tell you that small dogs are stupid. Just remember: as long as you do what’s right for you and those closest to you, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

Nobody Is Perfect (That Doesn't Mean They Aren't Awesome):

We all have someone in our lives who is a pain in our ass. They are inconsiderate, shitty, and selfish. But we all know them for one reason or another—and that's because no matter how shitty they can be, there’s something about them that is fucking awesome. It could be how funny they are or their seemingly endless talents and skills—it doesn't matter. What matters is that you love them as you love every other human being despite their obvious flaws and faults.

Focus On Your Life, Not Theirs:

Your life is yours alone. It doesn’t count what other people suppose about you. It doesn’t matter if their words or conduct upset you or beget your stress. You can control only one person in your life, and that’s yourself. Take a moment to ask yourself, What's it about these shitty people that has me so stressed out?

Choose The Best Parts Of You:

If there’s anything that will keep you from growing as a person and being able to handle rejection, it’s comparing yourself to other people. Don’t spend your time wondering why someone is so successful or why someone else has a cool job when you’re not.

Accept That Shit Happens:

The only way you’ll make a substantial impact on anything is by accepting that shit happens. Whether it’s shitty weather, shitty traffic, or shitty people—you must accept your fate. Don’t make excuses; don’t give up. Instead, adapt and overcome. If you don’t know how—figure it out (and research how in our other posts!).

Don't Let Haters Get To You Ever:

In life, you’re going to come across both good and bad people. The key is figuring out how best to deal with each of them. If someone has been less than pleasant, don’t just accept it—work on improving your situation. Take control of your happiness and mental health by learning not to let haters get to you. This post goes over some effective ways to take action and stay happy despite the shitty people in your life.
