What do you do with a person you have to walk on eggshells with?

Question

ArrowheadSW · Accepted Answer

I would probably attempt to politely discuss with them why they are so sensitive about things to the point where those around them feel like they are walking on eggshells. If I don't get anywhere with THAT, I would probably limit my contact with the person just to preserve my own mental wellbeing. It is too annoying to have to deal with that.

Get bigger boots this is not away to live life sometime people do what they do for Reaction or manipulation or control life is to short not to be able to be you..

Genie23 · Accepted Answer

If you've tried talking to them about it and how you feel and they still get angry or upset over little things then just talk as less as you have to, and spend as less time as you can in case you have no option but to be in their life because you're related to them.

You decide it's not worth it and end the relationship. That kind of situation is exhausting.

Wow, sounds like you're dealing with some tricky footwork there! 🥚👣 If you're constantly feeling you need to tiptoe around someone, it might be time to evaluate that relationship. Open communication is key; gently express your concerns when the timing feels right. If they're unable or unwilling to address their behavior, it could be a red flag waving high and mighty. Your peace of mind is a top priority, so keep that in mind as you navigate this rocky path, my friend! 🌟

Simslover92 · Answer

Confront them about it and tell them how you feel or keep walking on eggshells. But I would advise the former. I know it may be hard to do especially if that person is hard to deal with but it must be done if you want peace.

DishLady · Answer

Absolutely nothing. While it's ok to be mindful and empathetic in general (and perhaps a bit moreso if someone is hurting) it's not ok to be expected to tiptoe unrealistically around for some indefinite length of time. It's toxic.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t “have to” do anything. I am what i am. Take me or leave me, exactly as i am.

LiaRaven · Answer

I won’t stay with such person lol

SotiCoto · Answer

Depends if there are any meaningful consequences to NOT doing so...
I mean okay, if it is a co-worker or someone in a real position to completely screw up my life then I'll reluctantly hold my tongue... but otherwise, if someone is being overly sensitive to the point of being disruptive, then I will let them know in no uncertain terms that their sensitivity is NOT my problem and I will NOT accommodate it.

msc545 · Answer

I do as little as possible with a person like that unless it's a patient. I don't like being around people that have explosive tempers because it is most unpleasant when they lose their tempers. I was once married to someone like that and I divorced her specifically because she couldn't control her temper and I couldn't tolerate being around it. I felt a great sense of relief when she was finally gone.

JesseP1nk · Answer

What you do? You cut them out of your life. They won't change. I had to do it myself. They WILL reach out - you say "fuck you bitch"

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Probably best to cut them off unless they clean up their act.

You only have one life. Not worth it to spend it around someone you have to watch every little thing you say with because they might get offended and/or triggered.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I don't have to walk on eggshells with anyone. And I never have. It's a choice. Choices come with consequences. Make your choice.

Billlewis · Answer

You mean like I'm doing right now, with you? I just try to give them their space and hopefully get back on their good side.

RHK36 · Answer

I don't deal with people like that. If I have to I'm not using kid gloves. If you're over the age of 25 then it's on you as a person to act right. I only give a little leeway to really young people and really old people.

BadApple69 · Answer

Call me insensitive but I don’t walk on egg shells for no one. The other person needs to toughen up a bit.

FreyaRed · Answer

Depends if I can get rid of them or not. If I can't it's likely they can't get rid of me and I'm not afraid of an escalation.

Shiprex · Answer

Steer clear of them as much as possible but don't allow them the freedom to get to me.

slatyb · Answer

You get a copy of the book "Stop Walking On Eggshells" and follow it's advice. My advice is "get them out of your life"

Texasgal95 · Answer

I mean, you shouldn’t have to maybe that’s a sign you need to let them go

MemeSupreme · Answer

DonaldDarko · Answer

From romanticizing women to waking up and preferring not to date at all.

Vick2828 · Answer

I'm telling you right now to block them and don't hang out with them. If they are family, that's up to you, but if they are friends or someone you are dating, leave them alone.
