An interesting look at the various ways people make each other's lives difficult. Yes it's quite generalised and simplistic in parts (and sometimes the "I know famous people" authorial stance is a little wearing). However I found it an interesting read and well worth a look over.

It would be most useful to people writing interesting villans in stories. Some of the ways in which people annoy others were good and also the idea of one person's villan being another persons friend was also an interesting point, particularly for writers.

Overall, amusing but very general, probably most useful for writers. (

Some people really can make you sick!

Is there anyone in your life-a relative, boss, friend, even a lover or spouse-who drives you crazy? Are there people who make you feel inadequate, unworthy, or just plain miserable? If there's someone who is not supportive and does not wish you well, then you've got a "toxic" person in your life.

Do you recognize any of these toxic terrors?

-The opportunistic user
-The control freak
-The meddler
-The arrogant know-it-all
-The me, myself, and I narcissist
-The instigator
-The emotional refrigerator
-The liar

Dr. Glass not only helps you identify the "toxic" people in your life, she also provides ten techniques for successfully dealing with them, including:

-Tension-blowout
-Unplugging
-Direct confrontation
-Humor
