Grin and Bear It: Six Benefits of Annoying People

At work and in our personal lives, we all have people who rub us the wrong way. Rather than becoming annoyed, however, there may be something to learn from such people. With a positive attitude, you can use the antics of irritating associates to your benefit.

‧People Skills
Everyone is different. If you have to deal with colleagues, supervisors or clients who annoy you, look at it not as bad luck, but as an opportunity to hone your people skills. If you can get along with annoying people, you'll have no problem dealing with others.

‧Critical Thinking
Is your annoyance a one-way-street or is it possible that you're just as big a nuisance to your antagonist? Do others feel the same about this person? Is your dislike based on the person's character or on the particular circumstances in which you interact? Applying your critical faculties to the situation will help improve your judgment and help you discover your blind spots.

‧Learning from the Mistakes of Others 
By observing what annoying people say and do, you can learn what kind of behavior to avoid in your dealings with other people. This can only help increase your popularity.

接受討厭鬼給你的 6 項禮物

在職場和我們的私生活中，都不免存在著和我們不對盤的人。然而，與其被激怒，這些人或許有值得你學習之處。秉持著正面的態度，討厭鬼同事的古怪行徑也能讓你受益匪淺。

‧人際應對技巧
一樣米養百樣人。如果你得和討人厭的同事、主管或客戶共事，可別覺得是運氣不好，而是要把這當作一個磨練你人際應對技巧的機會。如果連討厭的人你都有辦法相處，要和他人應對也就難不倒你了。

‧縝密的思考
討人厭只是對方單方面的問題嗎？還是對他來說，你可能也是個十足的討厭鬼呢？其他人對這個人也有跟我一樣的感受嗎？你討厭這個人是因為他的性格，還是因為你所處的特殊情境？運用你縝密的本領來衡量情況，將有助於增進你的判斷力，並幫助你找出自身的盲點。

‧從他人的錯誤中學習
透過觀察討厭鬼的言行，你會學到跟旁人相處時哪些行為該去避免。這樣你的人緣只會變得更好喔。
