Attitude adjustment - Can people really change?

[Kid Afrika]

She was trying to give you some advice on this topic, then you snap at her telling her she doesn't know you.

I didn't snap at her. I actually appreciated her advice. It was oas that accused me to being oblivious to feedback, and it was him that I was referring to.

As for this thread, I was asking about how other people deal with their problems of communication or just the bullshit of having to deal with people.

I really don't mind dealing with most people, but "mousey" people annoy the shit out of me. I guess I have a mechanism that makes me distrust anyone that seems sneaky or full of shit.

I prefer to have things said to me in a very straight-forward and blunt manner. I don't need the candy-coated pleasantries that come with dealing with some people. However, I realize that you have to cater to people's mannerisms if you expect them to help you or to do what you want them to.

So, I am working on this since I went to a seminar recently and I wondered how you guys deal with this type of shit in your daily lives. I am NOT asking you to pass judgement on me based on what little you know of me.
