It receives information from the conscious mind, irrespective of whether its good or bad, negative or positive.

It's more common to makeup a reason for a negative attitude or habit so that you won't feel guilty about it. This is a defence mechanism you have built from childhood. You have to modify this defence mechanism so that it can act in your favour rather than being deceptive.

Do you find yourself in a position where you have to work, school or live with someone who is annoying? So much annoyance that you want to quit or break up the relationship?. This piece of writing would help you find the answer to your problem.

At the end of this article; You would learn how to deal with the feeling of annoyance, you would learn to accept and tolerate people with different types of annoying personalities. You would understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the way we react to others' faults.

It is clear that we often look at things from our own point of view which in majority of cases is not the reality of the situation. Each time you encounter someone and they do something annoying or unacceptable to you, the tendency is for you to enter an emotional turmoil.

Negatives thoughts aroused by such a situation, if persistent seeps into the subconscious mind. This process is catalysed by negative emotions. When information is seeded into the subconscious it MUST manifest itself through physical reality.

Each time you get annoyed, you are more likely to ignite faster than usual, negative emotions since such pathways have already been established in the brain. What happens in reality is that you would often come out with a conscious rationale that makes you feel that your feelings are justified and that they are the person's fault, not yours.

If you persist in letting the bad feelings and thoughts get into your brain, either via an encounter or thoughts of this person, what happens upstairs is that, you continue to build new emotionally damaging neuronal connections in your brain substance. These newly established negative emotion stimulating pathways make you more and more susceptible to disliking and eventually hating that person.

Truth is that the fault is yours, for failing to manage this process at its initial stage.

How can to prevent, manage and get out of such a state of persistent annoyance. I give 5 simple magical steps that would certainly help you through out your life.

1. Keep in mind that for every such circumstance you encounter in life, there is your side of the experience and the actual reality of it.

This is the first measure to mastering the whole process. With practice this step would help you to smile and say "i reject" each time a feeling of annoyance shows its face. How you think other people see you in many circumstances is not the case. Thinking wrongly that he/she hates you given the way he/she either looks at you, talks to you, behaves towards you or respond to you. Until it is clear with full evidence that someone dislikes you or that the person intentionally annoys you, never let those negative feelings take control of you. Think of that person as good and you would initiate supernatural creative processes that would bring that person's energy to resonate with yours.

2. Keep calm and quit fighting back.

Stop the arguments, stop trying to prove that you are right. You would in most cases aggravate your situation, because you continue to impress your subconscious mind with negative thoughts and emotion, hence worsening the outcome.

Say fewer words yet maintaining good communication.

If you keep your mouth and tongue in place, your 'heart' shall remain at rest. 

Each time you 'fight', you triple the dept of your emotional turmoil and also create newer depressive neuronal pathways in the brain.

3. Minimise the amount of time you spend with them without making it look like you are avoiding somebody.

You can do this for example by giving tangible reasons for the need to be somewhere else. You could go hang out with friends, family, other colleagues and loved ones. This minimises the stimulation of the negative emotional pathways forming in your brain. This also gives the other party the opportunity to reflect and judge their actions towards you.

4. Act like you don't even notice that they are annoying.

In some cases the person annoying you does it intentionally or is quite aware of their actions. Ignore as much as you can any act of sarcasm. Act with so much neutrality each time they initiate a process aimed at firing a shot at you. After several attempts they will notice that their attempts are a failure and would certainly stop due to a fear of making a fool of themselves. How To Deal With The Fear Of Losing Someone's Love.

Act pleasant, keep the smile, do your usual duties with him/her, give them compliments like you would do under normal circumstances. Its a very powerful tool if you do it right. If there is something mankind hates so much, its for someone to behave totally unresponsive to intended stimulation.

5. Accept the other's personality defects and focus on their positives.

Everybody has negatives and positives. Most of the times you are tempted to focus on the negatives and remain blind to the positives. It is advisable to pick out a piece of paper and on one side write down their positives and on the other their negatives. Be truthful to yourself as much as you can be. You would be surprised by how many good aspects you have been blind to. For each negative identified, ask yourself how you can cope with it. Develop a strategy to cope with this personality handicap. You have intrinsically that ability to deal with different types of personality traits just that many people refuse to use this ability. You are the master of yourself, you can say 'no' to spontaneity and repulsiveness at a glance.

Every so often I see people stray far out of their way to do things for people which they normally would not do, and tolerate an arsenal of things they normally would not tolerate. Diverse reasons are often forwarded for this. Sometimes they are just nice and lineant people who generally enjoy pleasing others, other times they are under some pressure to stay as sober as possible in order not to get the other angry in fear of an unfavourable reaction.

The first reason is somewhat acceptable, but I'm here to help those who are "afraid to lose their friendship or their love" or whatever they could be getting from the concerned party. It is dangerous to your psychological health.

Every human being has a characteristic signature. Just like your official signature is unique to you, so is your character. If you have no visibly defined character, it goes that you have no self esteem, and if you have no self esteem, few people will treat you with value. We all have energies which come in contact when we communicate and interact. Most often, one person's energy dominates another during interaction.

If you are easily dominated, or if you give that impression to anyone, they will naturally value you less by either treating you with less respect or with pity. This puts you in a vulnerable position.

If you love someone to some point that they can get anything they want from you, you will hardly gain their love in return. They will take advantage of your weakness until they need you no more, and then they will move on and get someone else.

So if you want to attract attention, have your principles. Principles command respect. This is important. If you constantly act out of fear of losing someone, you will certainly lose them. After all fear is only good at materialising negativity.

Sometimes people act this way intentionally because they want to obtain something from the other party. You will hardly influence someone who easily influences you. People who are easily influenced are looked upon naturally as people who cannot make a right suggestion thus whatever they may suggest is often shrugged away firsthand.

Thus if you must get something from someone, do not put them in a position of dominance towards you, and do not give them any reason to dislike you either. Just be yourself, be somebody with principles.

"One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself." - Shannon L. Alder

We all have someone we do not want to lose, and there is someone we know does not want to lose us. Try to pause and observe these two groups of people. How do they interact with you? How do they react to your requests? How do you see them, how much respect do you have for them? How much do you think they have for you? Try to answer these questions and diagnose and apply what you just read.

I wish you more healthy relationships as you continue to build your self esteem.
