They're everywhere - people who make themselves feel better at out expense. but if we're prepared, they wont have power over us. Here's how to deflect the vampires as they strike.

Constant Talker

Scenario: Your airplane seatmate wants to talk politics for the whole fight.
Solution: Say, "That's interesting, but I hope you understand, this is my time to relax. I need to read now."

The Drama Queen

Scenario: To your co worker , losing RM 1.00 in hending machine is the end of the world.
Solution: Say, "Iam sorry that happaned. I hope you can work it out - but I need to get back to work."

Knife Twister

Scenario: A "friend" consoles you after a bad date saying, "maybe you're setting your sights too high."
Solution: Minimise contact with that person. At the least, tell her, "that was hurtful. Please dont say thing like that to me." Then recornise the insults for the insecurity they slow.
