In today's world, we are surrounded by many stress factors. During moments when we feel calm, being around certain individuals can make our hearts race, leading to stress and confusion about our feelings. Why do some people cause so much stress and disrupt our peace? Part of the reason is that they are caught up in deep-rooted emotions, just like all of us, often without realizing it. This can trigger stress, but dealing with difficult people is a reality of life, and learning to manage this may take time to achieve tranquility.

This time, I would like to present information from the book I Want to Be Calm by Harriet Griffey. The book offers simple methods for creating calmness for those living in today's society, applicable both at home and at work. It highlights 7 key personality types that create difficulties and stress for those around them, based on the theories of Dr. Robert Bramsen, a behavioral scientist.

Take a look at which type of person is causing you distress, and you may find strategies to alleviate stress from these individuals as follows:

::: 1. Know-It-Alls :::

This group can be divided into two types: those who genuinely know what they are talking about and those who speak confidently about topics they know little about, often persuading others to agree with them.

::: 2. Agreeable to Everything :::

This group appears cheerful and agreeable but is not genuine. They can be annoying because they agree with everything to be liked, yet this often leads to disappointment.

::: 3. Indecisive :::

One of the most stressful types, especially when you rely on their decisions to complete tasks.

::: 4. Pessimistic :::

No matter what you say or propose, they will always respond negatively and often do so with such conviction that it’s hard not to be swayed by their opinions.

::: 5. Silent :::

This type often uses silence to control situations, making others feel uncomfortable. They may express this through sulking or refusing to cooperate with a bad attitude.

::: 6. Aggressive and Unfriendly :::

Essentially, these individuals are troublemakers in the workplace, aiming to show hostility to get what they want, often through sarcasm or criticism, creating stress by making you feel confused, frustrated, or fearful.

::: 7. Chronic Complainers :::

They constantly whine but refuse to take any action to improve things, creating significant stress as they only complain without considering helpful suggestions, wasting your time.

Understanding behaviors and personalities is not meant to criticize others, but reflecting on our own behaviors can be beneficial. By examining which group we belong to and how we may create stress for those around us, we can recognize that no one is without flaws; we are all just human. Considering how much time we spend at work communicating with colleagues, we all have a responsibility to foster calmness in the workplace. Making a serious effort to alleviate stress indirectly will help us all become calmer, work better, be more efficient, and experience less stress.
