DEALING WITH TENACIOUS/STUBBORN PEOPLE
Managing tough people might make you want to beat your head against a brick wall.
Everyone has been there. The important thing is that you can take care of business. While watching How to Remain Positive with Negative People - By Sandeep Maheshwari, I came across a phrase that would have a huge influence on how you check out - and manage determined/difficult folks. The statement reads as follows:
"Sensible thinking will not be capable of providing answers to the questions that matter most in everyday life."
So, what exactly is the importance here, and how can it continue to handle challenging people? We should look at it.
Consider a difficult individual an opportunity to grow into a better version of yourself. "You can't change someone else; you can only change yourself," you've heard. So now you have your opportunity. Change your perspective on that difficult individual.
This is true not only in management or learning how to "read" people, but also in everyday life. Assuming you're a company owner, comprehending this will affect your advertising, your efforts, and how you interact with customers.
When was the last time you saw a cold beverage establishment? Alternatively, we may choose another low-quality food business. By any stretch of the imagination, they are not coherent. They depict VIPs sipping or consuming the beverage. You never hear them state things like "our beverage has X gram of sugar in it, or our juice or meal has X-synthetic chemicals in it, which make it taste amazing, etc." and such things that would normally pique your attention.
However, consider this: we are not swayed by logic. "We are not far removed from our animal senses." So, if you have a tough person in your life, whether it's a sweetheart, spouse/wife, parent, associate, or buddy, and they won't contribute regardless of how much logic you throw at them, try this.
Keep in mind the futility of logic. It's not so much that logic works just occasionally or only when you do this or that thing. Obviously, there are some people who can be convinced just by logic, but motivating others to understand your point of view works significantly better if you discover out what they desire.
When you appeal to their particular concerns and determine what they require, a slew of fresh opportunities to persuade and collaborate with them emerge. We should look at one of the most tenacious/obstinate people in the world, your boss, and how we might persuade them to grant you a raise.
To be honest, managers often shut out the moment they see "raise," their minds begin zeroing in on all of the reasons why it isn't achievable. So let's flip this around a little. To begin, avoid using the word "raise." All things considered, appeal to their desires and personal concerns.
What manager, for example, could not argue that their job should be made easier? You might approach the individual in issue and say "I have a few suggestions for the most effective way to make your job easier. Consider how much more (efficiency, cash, and so on) you'd have the choice to enjoy if someone could make X, Y, and Z adjustments in your task for you."
I didn't use the word "I" anywhere in the sentence. You can argue that a little rise will help persuade you to help them achieve even more, but once again, you're zeroing in on them.

People that disrupt my mental serenity and productivity are added to my 'minimal contact/conversation list.' However, if it is completely inevitable, the only option is pure logic and reason. Throw facts to them that they can't deny. That is the sole explanation. Also, remember that everyone has the right to their own opinions, and occasionally individuals get frustrated and think others are obnoxious just because they disagree with their ideas.
People are obsessed with themselves. They don't like you, and they probably don't care that a raise might make things easier for you. They want to make things easier for themselves. Also, throw out any reasoning about how much work you do, how frequently you stay late at work, or anything else that has no bearing on their decision.
What Has Love Got to Do With It?
A rational report that demonstrated that we love ourselves more than our companions. Regardless matter whether you adore your companion and your mate unconditionally loves you, you truly love yourself a tad bit more. The key exception is children; you might love a child more than you love yourself since you are paying special attention to their government support, species conservation, and so on.

Assuming you have read Richard Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene, he states that the reason a parent will sacrifice themselves for their child is that their traits are in that child, therefore they are, it might be said, saving themselves.
Wait for the right time to express your case. If you want to talk to a man, feed him first. Before you talk to a female, check out her mood statistics. Is she agitated and irritable, or cheerful and relaxed? Is today the greatest moment for me to make my case?
So, without delving too deep into the subject, if you have to deal with obstinate people on a daily basis, mix up the game.
A narcissistic relationship is lonely since they don't care about you. They are unconcerned about your sentiments or the events in your life. They make you feel insignificant. And, unfortunately, you don't matter to the narcissist. The narc draws delight and happiness from your sorrow. It's a test; the more they isolate you and shut you off, and you come racing back, begging them not to stop the relationship, the more power they have over you. They will twist everything to make you appear insane.

Stop approaching things from a reasonable standpoint and start paying attention to their deepest longings and passion for themselves. Determine what they require and how you might assist them in obtaining it, then interject your desires last. Try it - consistently.
