There is a saying : “In life, we meet the people we are supposed to meet.” So why is this person in your life, what lesson are they bringing you? View it from the opportunity to learn a new skill, lesson, or perspective even if the answer is “they are showing me how not to treat other people.’

Great insights Justin! Your first focus on “Change Your View” aligns so well with “Work on me First” in Crucial Conversations.

It’s so true we have all been there. I really like the suggestion to avoid playing the victim. Getting to know someone better, truly listening to them and looking for the good they do, even if it doesn’t outweigh the negative—those are things that have helped me in the past.

Good read on working with someone as you say “you just can’t stand”. I wonder what your thoughts are on the responsibility of the teammates manager to address as well?
