Topic at my AA meeting Tonight

How do you now handle mean people? I really liked this topic, since I know some people’s attitudes can really make me snap. So How do you handle mean people in your life?

I’m not going to lie I still struggle with that… I’ll give a little back but I know I need to find another way. :sweat_smile: Progress not perfection

Hmmm, great question. I just try not to engage with meanies. Walk away, I won't be brought down by those who are not nice, so mainly ignore them I suppose.

Defuse do not engage unless it comes time to defend. Don't lower yourself to their level. You know you're way better than them. Just remember throat punching people is, unfortunately, looked down upon.

Pray for them and let God sort it out...we can only control our actions to others poor behavior. Never let anyone steel your peace and serenity...

Respond and don’t react maybe by walking away. People are usually mean for a reason but you don’t have to stick around to find out. It’s their problem, not yours and don’t let it become yours.
