Rude people

How do you cope with rude people that you have to see often? A couple my partner is friends with can be really rude and it gets me so angry! It's not the kind of situation where you can say something though, as then you end up looking like the rude one. What do you normally do?

Sometimes these kinds of people are really trying to attract attention to themselves that is why they do this. And you reacting to them is what they are exactly expecting to get from you. Well for me since I seem them as people who is seeking attention then I just ignore them and avoid them as much as I could. Or sometimes doing the complete opposite of what they want to happen that is to pissed me off I would just ignore them or just laugh at them and don't show that I am not pissed at all.

I'm lucky that I don't have to cope with them often, I really don't like to be rude and don't like to deal with people that are rude. If I'm in such a position, I'd do mainly two things. First, I'd keep myself polite and cool-minded. Always remind yourself that what truly hearts you is how to decipher the rudeness. Try looking it at another perspective, what's rude a second ago might not look so bad. Secondly, I'd make my actions speak up for me. Doing one right thing works better than saying a hundred right words. If you maintain a good personality and do your job well, you change the way people think and make them a better person. Change them into better people, by first keeping your kindness and politeness, not losing yourself to anger and frustration.

Yeah when it comes to rude people I do my best to try and avoid them. I think we all know that rudeness just brews more rudeness and that you can get crankier just from being around a rude person. Other then that if I'm forced to be surrounded by a jerk then I usually just try to ignore him. I know that it can still be hard to do that with some rude people.
