We are social creatures, needing people for our best fit survival and enjoyment of life. Most people are good people, inspiring us to be better, encouraging us and being honest enough to tell us what we can improve in. Unfortunately, not all people are good people. Some are downright awful. We can use some tools to identify that someone is not a good person, that they are Abusive. The best general strategy for dealing with Abusive people is to keep away from them. Sometimes we can’t do that – we have to interact with them. At that point, we need to do what we can to manage the interactions and mitigate harm. That’s what we will cover here.
