Yes, I agreed on those terms and i do agreed that we have our own way of dealing with people. For me, when it comes to a serious issue, i'll give that person my honest opinion and whether or not he or she take it I don't really care. However, if they don't i just stopped talking because I don't want to waste my breath on them and would rather waste it on those who will want to listen

Wow---You're amazing and very tactful. I'm so use to hitting my 'ignore' button, I overlook a lot of opportunities to build relationships with people.

When you said, "psychological tactics," I had the impression it would be tricks to get people to do what you want, i.e. make someone think it was their idea to go along with what you want. keke.

Reading the title gave me an impression that you were planning to deal with the mentally ill like Donny. But I guess you should just be aware on how you react to others. Sometimes it isn't worth the time to bother with the absurditive types like Donny.

Can you guys provide me with some examples of how you deal with different people in your every day life.

here are some of my examples/experience

1. there was a coworker that always seems to snitch on me. She told others that i didn't do my job. she's a very organize person to be honest i just don't like her because she seems to have her eyes on me even though she didn't work with me during the weekend. i only work during the weekend btw anyway, our work place has something call "The Shiny Star." When you admire the work of a staff member, you can give them a shiny star and write your name and why you give them that star. At the end of the month that person who receive a star will get a gift card or something. I wasn't being mean to her because i really don't want to fight fire with fire. One day i put her name on a shiny star and i wrote, "Thank you for always keeping me update with everything. You're a very organize person and i enjoy working with you." --LV That changes everything and i got along so well with her after that and plus i got her to praise me from time to time. Don't quit your job just because someone don't like you

2. I was chatting with one of my friend girl on msn this one time. Lets call her Mary since i don't wanna use her real name. Mary kind of like me to be honest She said her friend's doing a party since it was a friday night and she's going. I told her that i'm sure she won't go. She said no one can make her stay home since it's a friday night. We chatted for a little bit and then i told her that i have to go. We said bye to each other then i put myself on msn offline mode. She thought that i log out already but i sent her an offline message that said, "Mary..........I miss talking to you." Then i log out for real. seven minutes later she called me and told me that she's not going because she doesn't feel like it..We end up talking for two hours

3. One time i went into the HP main chat and a guy was being bitter towards me. He's always bitter to be honest lol anyway, he called me names and described me in a negative ways so that everyone can see. Seems like he want to start a verbal fight with me Then i agreed with how he described me and wrote, "lol that's funny...anyway,,how are you doing bro?" he replied "I'm doing good, how are you bro?" what do you think will happen if i call him names and did the same thing he did to me? I'm sure some HPers judge me the way how he described me. Those who judge me by other people's words aren't the kind of people that matter to me. The kind of people that matters to me are the kind that judge me by getting to know me.

share some more example later

Reserve psychology always come in handy from time to time, though I can't think of an example.

Examples I have experience:

A friend of mines was being emotional about her break up situation, I was there to cheered her on, telling her it'll be alright. She begin stating that she loves him, over and over again. Not to be rude but I was trying to ease her crying by telling her it's okay to hate him, of course, she Strongly disagree. Then I begin to mention how much she loves him and how much he loves her, eventually she begins to disagree with me about how lovely their relationship was. She begun stating how much she hates him for all the things he put her through (emotionally). The night ended swell, and no, in case you were wondering, she doesn't hate him like THAT. I only asked her to pile up a list of things that she dislike of him to help her moved on.
==================
A good male buddy of mines was upset that I never call him that I am always too busy for him. Though supposedly he's only joking, I do take this to heart. Anywho, one night he came on MSN and began ranting that if I am a good friend, I would call him rather than just MSN how I am doing and what not, as I continue reading his complaints he wrote to me on msn, I dialed his number. I said to him "Hi".

I can tell that he was in rage when he answered but as soon as I said hello and how are you doing, it helped ease his mind pretty fast. I then asked, "Are you okay?" He laughs and say, "yeah! Of course silly!" Funny how a simple appreciation can change one person's mood incredibly.
==================

Last example, back in 5th grade, I have this classmate that for some odd reason who simply doesn't like me. He made me cry a couple of time, threaten me and simply do whatever he can to hate me. One day though, he was struggling on his homework, I saw this and approach him and helped him on his math. I dunno what happened but after that day, he never bothered me for that finishing year.

Some years later, we are in middle school, he was being a total jerk to me one day and one of his friend approach to him and said, "Hey, she's our classmate, why you hating? Not cool G." And for some odd reason, after that, he too again stopped messing with me.

I guess when a little good goes around and good people are at present it's hard to be a bad boy. Like.. if you're being a jerk to someone at one point and one day that person is at your house. No way you can be bad to her/him at your mommy's house.

lol i really like the examples from Protogirls...i reread a couple of times...i likey her first example...

One time me and my ex was arguing about something...She knew that i don't like her going out late at night with her girls...After we hung up,,she text me and said that she's going over to her friend's place...She purposely do that just to make me curious...This time i take a different approach and i text back, "i'm sorry for arguing with you earlier...and yeah i think you should go and have some fun with your friends...be safe for me ok?" After about twenty minutes she text me back saying that she's not going...and everything was back to normal that night..imagine what will happen if i text back and said, "no you cannot go." that would've been a disaster lol...
