Luckily my mother is Queen of Dealing with difficult people and so I learned from the best on how to cope and not become stressed in any given situation. (a stiff drink after the fact did help that though :)). Now, I am glad I had those experiences because it taught me how not to be. <br /><br />Have a great week, Donna.

I deal with them for the most part by being easy to get along with and trying not to get overly worked up about their difficulty.<br /><br />I have no idea what League of Legends is, but when I played World of Warcraft, my main character was a Holy paladin, so I sure get the 'support' thing. I always made sure I was doing more to help the raid than just standing in the back throwing heals around.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-90545153033218468422015-10-12T16:17:49.832-06:002015-10-12T16:17:49.832-06:00I try not to be difficult.

I think that's the plus at being over 50, at this age you're actually sure you don't know everything and can learn something new. I hate to admit it but I know I've been a difficult person at times, hopefully more times in the past than recently. Life is a little too short to deal with difficult people and I don't want people avoiding me because they think I'm difficult.<br /><br />Gaming - If it goes beyond Candy Crush or Words with Friends - you've completely lost me.

And I used my StarCraft experience as a way to bring love interests together in one of my books. :)Donna K.
