How to Handle User-Friendly People

Over the years, I've learned to ignore those who routinely treat me indifferently. This is one of the lessons I've learned from interacting with diverse groups of people. Being with these people is unhealthy. Some of them tend to know you when they need something from you. How do you deal with these individuals? Do you ignore them, or do you continue to handle them with tact? Image Credit: cambridge.or

I tend to be "diplomatic" . . . I do not ignore people because in most cases that's not an easy thing to do (well, online it's easier).

@Shavkat Right, with family, it's just too hard.

At some point, I cannot ignore if they are in my bloodline. I can be civil and try not to engage in arguments.

Its quite difficult sometimes to know people who treat you differently genuinely, but just give them only things you can afford to lose.

I agree. As the saying goes, we cannot please everyone. If they do not want me, then I will let them go. There is nothing to lose if it happens.

I try to use tact, but there are a few people I believe are just best completely ignored. No one has time for abject nonsense.

You said it right. It is not also my thing to endure being with these people.

Thankfully, I don't really remember a time when I was around someone like that.

I also do the same thing. The best strategy to deal with it is to ignore.

I have no one bothering me. When I did I just kept away from them and ignored them,

This technique is my defense mechanism in dealing with these people. I do not want to be stressed out, and it is best to free myself from them.
