Some people are very good at dealing with others, the same way some others are good at dealing with computers.
Of course, it is their natural ability. (That is why the salesman became a salesman!)
Even if we do not have a natural ability to make others comfortable and happy with us, it does not mean that we cannot cultivate that trait later. Just remember two things:
Smile.
Genuinely think about helping the other person, regardless of your motives.
On the not getting frustrated part, I honestly don't know how to do that. Anyway I will tell my story:
I wanted to change the world. I wanted people not to be stupid. I wanted people to do the right thing. We usually get frustrated when people look stupid to us. We want people to understand our logic, but it looks like they never will! I used to get frustrated a lot those days.
Then I learned the lesson that spreading happiness is better than spreading logic. People have their own logic, and it is not better/worse than what we have. It is just different. Make the others happy, make their lives better, help them in every way we can and that is better than trying to make them think in a rational way. Thinking more about it, it is the most logical way too.
- gizmo 17y agoAbout that last paragraph: you can't spread logic, because people need to be logical in order to be persuaded by logic. And if people don't realize the positions they hold are not logically consistent (which is my main gripe: I can deal with any point of view, as long as it's not self-contradictory), then you cannot explain that to them using logic -by definition-. I also don't buy the different but equal thing. Of course making other people happy is a good thing. But there is no choice to be made between spreading happiness and spreading logic - they're orthogonal.
