I recently stumbled upon an article that labels people with certain traits as ‘difficult.’ But rather than seeing them as burdens, I think we could all gain—especially in the art of mockery—by viewing them as enlightened beings who have all things figured out.

A Guide for the Mere Mortals

It’s time we all admit it: those who are never wrong, always the victim, and possess the emotional range of a teaspoon are clearly the enlightened beings we should all strive to emulate.

When you encounter someone who interrupts constantly, never forgives, and can’t change, it’s because they’ve mastered the art of life and existence.

Who needs empathy when you can be right all the time? So, what do you say we sit at their feet and absorb their infinite wisdom—because clearly, they’ve got it all figured out.

Step 1: Prepare for Enlightenment

When the all-knowing difficult person enters the room, you should immediately stop whatever trivial task you were doing.

They have graced you with their presence!

Drop to your knees and bask in the glow of their superior intellect. They’ve transcended the need for empathy, satisfaction, and even basic self-awareness.

I’m pretty sure there was a Star Trek episode that showed how unnecessary those traits are, so let them lead the way.

Step 2: Absorb the Wisdom

Be sure to never interrupt them—after all, they have mastered the art of doing so themselves.

Every word they utter, each condescending sneer, and every eye roll is a lesson in how little you truly know.

They don’t need to forgive because they’re incapable of making mistakes. Take note of their resistance to change; it’s a sign of their steadfast brilliance, not a crippling fear of growth. 

Step 3: Accept Your Inferiority

You’ll never be as wise, as experienced, or as infallible as the difficult person. And that’s okay. Accept your place in the grand hierarchy of existence.

All those feelings of resentment you might feel? They’re just indicators of your failure to understand their divine purpose.

Resist the urge to argue or present a different perspective—they’ve already thought of that and dismissed it as beneath them. 

Step 4: Learn the Art of Agreeing

The difficult person has perfected the art of needing the last word. Your role? Simple. Just nod, smile, and agree.

If you find yourself in a disagreement, remember that you’re wrong by default. Their need for control and superiority isn’t a flaw; it’s a gift. 

Bonus Thoughts!

Remember, difficult people are not here to torment us; they are here to teach us the true meaning of life. It’s a life where empathy, satisfaction, and change are mere distractions.

Next time you encounter such a person, don’t resist—just submit to their wisdom. After all, we’re all just amateurs trying to navigate this world, while they have clearly unlocked the secrets of the universe.

And just one more thing—next time you watch a political candidate tear into their opponent, ask yourself: don’t they sound a lot like the ‘all-knowing’ person we’ve been talking about?
