Aggro People — Hakan Alpay

Music for this post:

Aggressive people

They come in all shapes and sizes. They could be your family members, your childhood friends, your teachers (this one is pretty likely), etc. What do you do if you want to just live your life and you have to deal with aggressive people all the time?

There’s a lot of solutions here but the one I found to be kinda interestingly effective is to just befriend them.

You have to befriend them in a way that they won’t think of you as their best friend or associate themselves with you but will still like you. You can do this just by listening to them complain and pretending to understand or empathize.

Once you’re in then it’s a lot harder for them to get mad at you (at least non ironically) and you are more likely to get your way in situations where you disagree.

Then you can just stop talking to them and hanging out with them once you have established rapport. You probably want to do this anyways because they are likely to make you uncomfortable.

You don’t have to do all this if the aggressive person is someone you aren’t gonna interact with that much; in that case just avoid them.

So yeah that’s my tip for today. C’:

Thanks for reading; goodbye.
