While you're doing this, think about how you would feel if someone said to you the things you are just about to say. And if you still have to say it, at least try and make it sound like you're joking :) [ msListenLady's advice column | Ask msListenLady A Question ]

Hope I helped!

If the problem is her, I would tell myself that everyone has their faults. Is she shy and quiet? Are you older than her? The reason I'm asking this is because sometimes if she's shy and you're outgoing or if she's younger than you, you feel like you need to lead her in the right direction. Or tell her what you believe thinking you're right. If that's the case you need to treat her as an equal. Maybe it could be because she is annoying sometimes, and you get angry about it. If she does something annoying I would talk to her about it. If you simply can not do that, than it would be best to tell yourself that there will always be some qualities in people that are annoying. You might have to train yourself to think nothing of it.
If the problem is you, meaning that you always feel this way towards everyone else, you might want to consider writing down what kind of things make you easily mad. Relaxation is important. If you learn to love things about people rather than finding the bad things in others, you'll be much better off. But you can really get past this if you try hard enough! Good luck with everything!

justluvly answered Thursday November 11 2004, 7:00 pm: I have the same problem with my friend sometimes. My advice for you is to just try to let things go. Dont take what she does seriously. Laugh it off. Let her know that you dont necessarily mean what you're saying, and try to make sure her feelings aren't hurt. If you REALLY have something to say, try to say it in a constructive way, without attacking her. Like if she's doing something really annoying such as flirting with the guy you like just be like "I like this guy a lot and what you're doing is really hurting me" dont be like "YOU NEED TO STOP FLIRTING WITH THE GUY BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A HO!!!" or anything like that. Just try to avoid conflict...and try not to raise your voice or yell at your friend [ justluvly's advice column | Ask justluvly A Question ]
