How to Deal with Difficult People Without Losing Yourself

0:08Hey, everyone.

0:09Welcome to my weekend special.

0:11I hope you enjoy the show.

0:12Be sure to follow the Ed My Led Show on Apple and Spotify.

0:15Links are in the show notes.

0:17You'll never miss an episode that way.

0:18Now on with the show.

0:20All right, welcome back to the show, everybody.

0:21So I'm really excited about this week's episode.

0:24As you know, I don't post very often on social media anymore, but if you're not following me on Instagram, make sure you go ahead and do that.

0:30I did make a post a few weeks ago on my Instagram story about emotional maturity and how to deal with people that, for lack of a better term, get you all wound up.

0:39They get you angry or hurt or they just create angst in your life.

0:43You probably have somebody like that in your life.

0:45They push your buttons and maybe that person's very close to you, maybe really close to you.

0:50And so we're going to talk about that today.

0:52You know, life is supposed to be a joyous experience, at least most of the time.

0:58And you got to really evaluate your emotional maturity and how you deal with people that are emotionally immature, which I believe is a sign of weakness in people, hurt people, angry people.
