About this Item

Paperback. Most self-help books want to teach you how to deal with difficult people. This one asks a simpler question: why are you still trying? We've all had them in our lives. The ones who turn every conversation into a competition. The ones who make you feel guilty for having boundaries. The ones who drain you dry and then act surprised when you have nothing left to give. The ones who smile while they twist the knife and call it "just being honest." This book isn't here to help you fix them. It's here to help you see them clearly - and to stop making excuses for people who have no interest in changing. Inside, you'll find a brutally honest breakdown of the worst kinds of difficult people: the Energy Vampires, the One-Uppers, the Professional Victims, the Passive-Aggressive Text Senders, the "Just Being Honest" Cunts, the Gaslighters, the Boundary Violators, and the Guilt Trippers. Not so you can manage them better. So you can finally stop letting them manage you. Part dark satire, part survival manual, this book doesn't ask you to be the bigger person. It asks you to be honest with yourself about how much of your life you're willing to waste on people who only take. If you've ever looked at someone and thought, "I would rather chew glass than deal with you again," this book was written for you. Some people aren't worth the effort. This book helps you recognise them before they take any more of yours. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Most self-help books want to teach you how to deal with difficult people. This one asks a simpler question: why are you still trying?

We’ve all had them in our lives. The ones who turn every conversation into a competition. The ones who make you feel guilty for having boundaries. The ones who drain you dry and then act surprised when you have nothing left to give. The ones who smile while they twist the knife and call it “just being honest.”

This book isn’t here to help you fix them. It’s here to help you see them clearly — and to stop making excuses for people who have no interest in changing.

Inside, you’ll find a brutally honest breakdown of the worst kinds of difficult people: the Energy Vampires, the One-Uppers, the Professional Victims, the Passive-Aggressive Text Senders, the “Just Being Honest” Cunts, the Gaslighters, the Boundary Violators, and the Guilt Trippers. Not so you can manage them better. So you can finally stop letting them manage you.

Part dark satire, part survival manual, this book doesn’t ask you to be the bigger person. It asks you to be honest with yourself about how much of your life you’re willing to waste on people who only take.

If you’ve ever looked at someone and thought, “I would rather chew glass than deal with you again,” this book was written for you.

Some people aren’t worth the effort.
This book helps you recognise them before they take any more of yours.
