In our different walks of life, rude people are unavoidable. As we encounter people every day, we encounter the kind and the rude. Even without meeting rude people outside, we can have them around us in our different houses. Trying to stay around rude people can be difficult.
They don't mind what they say, how they say it, how they behave, or how the person they say it to will react. Sometimes we lack the composure to tolerate people when they are rude to us, be it in words or actions. One way I work with rude people is by setting boundaries. Voicing out to the person in a calm way that I don't like their behaviors and they should put an end to them in a respectable way.
Also, telling someone how l feel about their behaviors and their constant criticism of my effort can lighten the atmosphere. Then, if the person refuses and continues even after being told politely, and the person refuses, trying to avoid the person is the best way to live a happy life. I had a colleague of mine who was rude, but I never saw her actions as rude. Everyone started avoiding her and limited all forms of interaction with her.
Someone can do something to you purposely just so you feel angry due to reasons best known to them. Politely letting the person know what he or she has done would be better than trying to reciprocate. The manner of approach can make the person regret his actions.
