You stop being around them, you can't establish other people's comfort zones. However, making someone uncomfortable is sometimes for their own benefit or well being. In which case, they'll live through it and get over it.
"...for their own benefit or well-being". Now how can an outsider determine that for others? Do you mean an intervention where everyone shows up at the house of an addict and tries to put him/her on a better path? In that case the consensus would seem to justify that action. But one on one? I dunno SC. That's a lot trickier to determine. Thank you for your thoughtful reply and Happy Tuesday to thee! :)
Usually if someone is uncomfortable around me they leave. It is not my problem if they don't like the "real me". And the same hold true the other way around. If they make me feel uncomfortable, I leave.
Now, I am not a vulgar or irreverent person, and I do not feel "comfortable" around people who are. If that's what a person is (being themself) then I don't even want to be around them.
Are you an instant like/instant dis Shuhak? Or does it take you a long time to evaluate and test and investigate before you warm up to or write off someone? Thank you for your reply! :)
