We may not like the way they treat us, but we should also try to see the good in them.
Sometimes, these jerks are just pushing us to become a better person. There are some techniques you can use so you can continue to stay positive around this type of person.
Although you are no longer in control of how these people behave, you are still in control of your own behavior.
