And perhaps they are!
Is it time to get angry and tell them how you really feel? Maybe there is a compromise you can make where everyone is happy. Or maybe not.

It’s a challenge to stay present for someone who is so down and out. Sometimes, you go into your own “stuff” trying to help them with theirs. It’s the curse of many highly sensitive people and certainly difficult for almost any empathetic person.

Whether it’s the jerk at work or that one person in your family who just doesn’t like you, rude and intimidating people can be found in any corner of the world (and under many rocks).
In this episode, I share seven suggestions that will help you counter those behaviors and perhaps even make some of these people start respecting you again.
I read three emails from people in three different circumstances. The first one is about a troubled marriage where the wife doesn’t know why she is staying and can’t figure out how to make the decision to leave.
Segment two is about dealing with the victim mentality and what questions you can ask a chronic complainer in order to get them to do something about what they’re complaining about.
Segment three is about a wife who discovered her husband watches porn and since then their once happy, amazing marriage is now in shambles with little hope for the future. Lots to talk about in this episode!
