I have a hard time giving a good answer to this post because I suffer such an similar situation. I have a job that requires working with the public, and I deal with all manner of unsavory people. Sometimes I get so annoyed with their behavior and their thoughtless comments that I just want to scream and shake them.
The only thing I can really suggest is trying to look at the situation objectively. Try to figure out *what* exactly about the person’s behavior is annoying you. Why is that one thing getting under your skin? Once you find the reason, dissect it until you get to whatever root issue in yourself has caused these feelings and then decide what you want to do about them. Do you need to heal a buried inner wound or see things from the other person’s perspective or just get away from the for a while so you can catch your breath and regroup? Ultimately when faced with these situations I try to adhere to the mirror allusion that Ra gives. I try to figure out what about the other person I see in myself. I know it sounds like I’m just quoting the Ra Material now, but in the end simply putting their suggestion into practice has been the most effective means of helping myself get over this intense annoyance that at times has threatened to consume me.
