Dealing with difficult family members is a reality for most people. From family members who disrespect you to ungrateful family members, learning strategies to deal with family drama can help you enjoy family time again.

How to Approach a Difficult Family Member

You can't change how someone else acts, so don't waste your time trying. What you do have control over, is how you act. Debbie Mandel, MA, a stress reduction specialist and coach, agrees that if you don't like what you see in a difficult family member, change what you see and how you react. You can't always avoid interactions with difficult family members, so use these tips to make the best of get-togethers.

Meet on Neutral Ground

Interacting somewhere you both feel comfortable can instantly help create a calm atmosphere. If you or your family member has major issues tied to a particular location, suggest the event or activity take place somewhere else. Meeting in public places often makes people act on their best behavior so having Christmas at a rented event space might be more comfortable than gathering at Mom's house, for example.

Focus on the Positives

Before meeting with your family member, think of all the qualities you like about them. Focusing on the good rather than the bad will prepare you for dealing with the actions that do annoy you. This is because your stress level won't already be heightened before you even see the person, which will make you more able to tolerate them and see them in a better light.

Prepare Yourself for Interactions

Imagine what this interaction will look like specifically based on your previous experiences with this person. Typically, difficult family members have a certain behavioral pattern that is easy to track once you become aware of it. Based on their past behavior, mentally prepare yourself to deal with any possible scenarios you think may unfold. By doing so, you may find that you have an easier time reacting appropriately.

Use Empathy to Alter Your Perspective

Difficult people are not born that way, they become that way based on the interaction of nature and nurture. Even though it can be really hard, try to understand their perspective. You do not have to agree with their viewpoint, but understanding why may help you interact with them in a calmer way. Interactions with difficult people create incredible opportunities for growth, self reflection, and heightened emotional intelligence.
