Bossy People Are Hard To Take (But I Can Handle It)

We all know them. They are around in every walk of life.., Bossy people. They are usually hard to take, but we all have strategies to deal with them. Some of my friends just can't tolerate them and frustration can escalate. To combat that, I wrote this story so that we could have peace in the classroom and schoolyard. Read on..., Enjoy!

In my life, I will meet many different types of people (nice people, mean people, funny people, bad people and sad people to name a few). Sometimes I will have to deal with bossy people. Two people have been extremely bossy to me this week, and today I had had enough.

When I couldn't take it anymore, I fled the room and hid under a table. In thinking about that, that probably wasn't the best strategy to use. If people are really getting to me, I always have options as to how I can respond.

The easiest method may be to just say to the person, "Would you mind your own business please?" This should be stated in a pleasant tone so that I don't hurt their feelings or disrupt what is going on around me.

If that doesn't work, I have a journal that I can reflect in. In that journal, I can write my thoughts freely, without editing or any judgements attached to it. It is just an output to let off some steam.

If that doesn't work, then I can check an adult's availability and perhaps visit with them about it. Using my words to express my thoughts always is a good idea when I am upset.

There are always going to be people who want to boss me around, It is part of our crazy world. If I can control myself and not let bossy people get to me, then it won't disrupt me and interfere with my day.

I will give these strategies a try next time I let bossy people get to me.
