annoyed
1. Think, "What annoys me about this person?"
2. Think how you would like to be told that you are annoying.
3. Wait until you find the person alone. Tell them what about them annoys you and why. [ [ There is a good chance that they don't realize that they are irritating.
4. Gently remind the person when he or she exhibits the annoying behavior. If the person continues, he or she is either a)forgetful, b)malicious, or c)really trying to correct his or her behavior, but may not know the best way to go about it. You must then treat the person as what he or she is. The first two
situations are not easily delt with because there is nothing more that you can do. You cannot change a willfully annoying person or someone with chronic bad memory. If, however, your friend is sincerely trying to improve his or her behavior, remember to be patient. Nagging and complaining about this person's faults is not only counterproductive, it's also annoying to that person.
5. The most important thing to keep in mind is that no one of us is perfect, and treating your friends with respect and dignity is a priority. The Golden Rule ("Treat others as you wish to be treated") works well for this kind of situation.
