Does Trouble Follow You Everywhere You Go?

There seem to be people who always have conflict of some kind in their lives at any given time. Maybe they are constantly changing jobs because of problems with employers and co-workers: problems that are always the fault of someone else. It would appear that the world just has it out for such people, that without prompting, they are simply the subject of negative talk, bad treatment and disrespect.
Granted, we all find ourselves from time to time at odds with another, but that should be the exception and not the rule. For those with whom it is the rule, the problem is most likely found within themselves.

Certain personality types are such that clashing with others is a regular occurrence. Some people are generally domineering in their relationships, and they carry themselves in a way that can intimidate or be off-putting to others.
These people will cause conflict and negative feelings in the people they interact with, but probably won't even know it most of the time due to their lack of sensitivity and empathy for the fellow human.

But then there are those who are very sensitive and dramatic in their dealings with other people. And even if they've committed on offense against someone else, they will react very emotionally and drastically to the mere confrontation by the other person about their behavior. This is usually an effort to deflect accountability by attempting to draw sympathy from their accuser: manipulation in its most basic form.
These are the people who will often portray themselves as the victim of something.

The simple message here is this: If you find yourself frequently in volatile situations with others, you might need to address the fact that the common denominator is you, and make some changes to your behavior. Otherwise, you'll be looking at a future filled with turmoil and broken relationships.
