Family members might be difficult to deal with at times. However, avoiding them is not an option. They are a part of life and have to dealt with. Pondering over the solution can be helpful in making the situation stress and strain free. Following are a few ways in which one might try to come to a common solution.
Try to be compassionate
It might not be the easiest thing on earth. However, when one has to deal with difficult family members, appropriate strategies are required. They are not friends whom one can avoid and eventually forget. They are members of the family, one’s own blood and flesh. Therefore, if they are being negative, creating confusions and misunderstandings in your life without any reason, then one should pity them and treat them compassionately without being argumentative. Arguments only spoil the relationship further and cause resentments in relationship. If one is compassionate and treats the other member with love and affection, then there is definitely a chance that the member has to stand up and reveal his/her problem. Once the problem is found out, it becomes easy to solve the problem.
Try to change your perception towards them
When family members try to create an obstruction in your life and create problems, then instead of being blaming out rightly, one must try to look into the depth of the situation. Probably, the difficult person is going through some critical situation in life and hence is behaving in a manner that is unacceptable. Therefore, one should try to reason out with the family member prior to showing one’s resentment towards them.
Try to be honest with yourself
If you know that the family members are being difficult because of a certain fault committed by you, then one should try and put all possible efforts to rectify the problem, so that things become smooth again. Being an egoist and not accepting the flaws is no way to win the race.
