Do you let other people's attitudes affect you?

Question

Most if not all would say, "No!" Get real. People do affect our attitudes wether you choose to agree or disagree. "BUT", I'm slowly but surely learning how to get past that. It's not easy. Here are "real" life examples that we deal with on a daily.

1. Another drivers cuts in front of you. No turn signals!

2. Cashier gives you attitude for no apparent reason.

3. Rude customer service in whatever department store you frequent.

4. Someone cuts in front of you while waiting in line and then proceeds to give you attitude when you tell them politely, "Excuse me, but I was standing in line first."

Answer 1

You are very right peoples attitudes do effect us because when you react back that shows that it affects you but the best thing to do is to or what I have been doing is just brushing it off and that's what you should do.or kill them with kindness.

Answer 2

it depends on
1. Your urgency
2. The consequence of the attitude
3. Mood
4. TIme of the day
