Good Day Everyone

Some people are just not good at understanding people's motivations or figuring out what's best for them. These folks tend to see others as either "them" or "us." So it is important to have a support system that can help you see the world differently. Do you have people who understand you and are willing to help you work through your unique challenges? Or do you have people who see you as an “other” rather than as a “self”? It’s not a matter of whether you have challenges, but of how you handle them. Let’s take a look at these three common ways people react to others who have personality challenges.

Ignore

When someone who has a personality challenge starts to feel like they are not being seen or understood, they may react by ignoring you. It’s hard enough to be misunderstood and ignored when you have a supportive friend or family member. It can be even harder if you don’t have that support system in place.

But that doesn’t mean people should just give up on their attempts at understanding someone else. Instead of trying to gain the person’s trust, your focus should shift to patience, empathy, and compassion.

Judge

People who are judgmental feel that they have the right to put others in one of two categories: “them” or “us”. They believe that only certain types of people are allowed to be good, and other types are not. These people may see themselves as a good person, and any time someone does something that is bad in their eyes,

it must be because of the person doing it. They also see everything through the lens of judgment; they will tell you why you should do things their way, even if they don’t know what is best for you. And these folks never consider how they might be wrong about their opinions.

Help

Helping Others Challenge It’s hard to watch someone struggle, but it can be even harder for them to ask for help. But there is a way to deal with this. The first step is acknowledging that you have a friend or loved one who is struggling with their personality. If you are not comfortable talking about your feelings, then find someone else in your life who will talk with you about the situation.

This supportive person can help make the process easier for you and offer insight when needed. If you are in this situation, try as much as possible to remain compassionate and understanding of your loved one’s struggles instead of trying to fix it all on your own. You can also offer insights into how you feel about the issue and what might be causing it.
