How do I deal with mean-spirited people?

Answer by  user71 (796)

The best way to deal with mean-spirited people is to "kill 'em with kindness. " I love the old adage that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar and I find that to be true. Mean spirited people are generally unhappy and treating them with kindness and consideration often melts the exterior and raises their level of emotion.
