What is the best way to deal with stuck-up people?

Question

How do you deal with stuck-up people who irritate you? specially if you have to see them on a regular base at work or your neighborhood? If you can't just ignore them, how do you deal with them?

Answer 1

I can't stand people who are insecure and make themselves feel better by acting stuckup and rude. Just know that they have the problem not you-and make sure you don't. See them as they really are and have your inner laugh at them and you can let it go. I recently ran into another Mom whos daughter was on my daughters soccer team She kissed right up to me and told me how she hated our old coach (who is my friend and a great person) and how funny it was she told me off about an incident I didn't see and therefore wouldn't report to the AYSO when I was team Mom (found out how physco she is-such bull!) I wanted to cringe when she came up! But my daughter is honor roll and all star and I rock compared to her. Shes low class and her daughters are overweight and insecure and as whiney about their life as Mom. Its like that with many people-she's wierd and not smart but Im not married to her! The man next door is the crabbiest, braggiest, pessimistic old man I ever met! We call him Mr Crabby Appleton! Its a joke on the street-we give them nick names and just smile and say hi-its a crazy world-if you don't look for the humor you'll go insane!

Answer 2

Try and find a common ground with them.  They must have some interest that you know of.  Ask them about it.  Conceited people love to talk about themselves.  If you ask about something they do, they will want to give you their "expert" take on the matter and make it their priority to inform you about it.  If it's a woman, a compliment may be appropriate.  You have to be careful with compliments though because if the woman is already a conceited b*tch, this may not be a good thing to do.

Answer 3

talk only if you really have to

Just play their game.
