Awareness Are You Difficult To Get Along With?

Okay, so we all think we are pretty easy going and tolerant of other people. Yet, if that was true for all of us, how come some people are so hard to get along with and make it so easy to get into a conflict with. As always, we are going to start with ourselves first. We are going to unpack how difficult you can be and try to dig into the why. “Truly the most difficult people are the ones who have no self-awareness. They are really unable to evaluate their actions objectively.” Kathleen Smith (Stop Guessing Whose Mad At You) WHAT IS LIKEABLE VERSUS DIFFICULT? Having emotional intelligence includes the ability to have high self and other awareness (which means you see who you really are, faults included and who those around you AND you are able to see how they view you). When we master this skill, a bonus is a higher level of social effectiveness. Now some people are born with easy going personalities that just are likeable. Others have to work at it a bit more. No matter where you land on that ‘am I likeable’ scale, we can all improve and develop deeper insight into our relationships and the interaction we have with others. Sometimes it is easier to look at what works than what isn’t working. There are a few characteristics we know that lower your chances of being easy to get along with (which means the more you have these the more difficult you are!). In this SKILL SHEET we are going to target in on these and action a change.
