Let it roll off your back. If it's not hurting anyone, and you're not ready to deal with that attitude, go for a walk and let the diva be a diva without you around. If there is no escaping it, try meditating and deep breathing exercises to help calm your mind over this issue. This can be tiring so make sure to take your time away from the situation also. Your mental health should not be diminished due to this person being a diva. This can be really frustrating and annoying to deal with, but hopefully it's not a long term thing. I hope this helps.

There are so many different types of people in the world. If everyone were the same, it would get rather boring. When you come across a person that is, in this case, a ‘diva’, it is easy to brush them off or ignore them. I feel dealing with a diva personality may get a little annoying, but you are unable to change a person. At this point, you should ask yourself if this person is someone you would like to be around and associate yourself with. If your answer is yes, then you need to know that they will sometimes act in ways that you don’t agree with. However, knowing you are unable to change this person allows you to look past the diva and appreciate them for who they really are.

I understand what it’s like to deal with someone with big egos and snarky personalities, so I get it. Dealing with people with diva-like personalities is tough but sometimes you just have to be a bigger person. Have you told the other person how you feel about them? Would you like to tell me more about this diva of yours? How does this persons diva like behavior affect you? How does this person make you feel? Do you want to get to know this person better? Maybe they aren’t as bad as you think they are. I encourage you to do what is best for you.

You can deal with someone that’s acting like a ‘diva by sitting down with them and having a conversation with them understanding why they are acting the way that they are. You can start talking to them and understand their perspective and why they are acting in that manner. once you figure it out, try talking to them about the issues you have. Tell them how you it makes you feel when they act in that manner and how it makes you feel unsafe with them and how you would like to see them treat you in a more respectful manner.

I want to start off by saying, it is good you are seeking out help before confrontation. Not an easy person to deal with. If I am at work, I simply stay away from from them to avoid confrontation in a professional environment. People like this need attention to validate themselves. I would switch shifts. Another alternative is to get to know them. Some people seek attention because they are simply lonely or are going through some internal battle. To sympathized helps you walk in their shoes and can make them less annoying to you. Not an easy thing to do, but they might just share something with you that can set a lightbulb off in your head to understand their "diva-like-ways." No one ever wants to be friends with the diva, but to have a really open person sit with a person like this can help them realize they are not as "strong" as they are. We all need someone to understand our struggles. You don't even need to be friends, but it can teach you how to tolerate people better around you.

if someone, such as your friend, is acting like a 'diva', the best thing to do would be to communicate to them that their behavior is not appreciated by you or anyone else. they must know that they should be more aware of how others feel and that although their feelings are valid, everything cannot be about them all the time. many times, people who act like divas may not even be aware that they are acting that way. moreover, it is important to communicate this to them in a kind and mature way, so that their feelings are not hurt.

You could try to figure out what makes them act towards other people the way they do. You should always approach them politely and in a controlled manner, it doesn’t help if you treat them like they treat you. You should try to have a calm conversation with them about the way they make you feel, as well as the way they make others feel. If they persist in making you feel inferior, if it is possible, it is better to distance yourself from people who make you feel this way. However if it is not possible, you should seek help from an authority figure who recognises that mutual respect is an environment necessary for learning/working/growth.

I would appreciate that person. It can be their strength. Who knows? That can improve their lives. If it becomes unhealthy, perhaps I can make them realize such a thing. I will be the one to encourage them to use such a character to make their lives meaningful. That can be my greatest satisfaction. If such a thing becomes a distraction, I will be compassionate to help them. If I cannot handle it very well, perhaps I can encourage them to go to therapy. However, as long as it does not harm them, I will let them be what they want. It is always a joyous experience to make somebody happy.

If someone you know or care about is acting out as a 'diva' then maybe its time to take a stand and talk to them, politely obviously. Sometimes we need people around us to correct us whenever we are behaving in a problematic way. It's important for our friends and family to tell us what we're doing wrong in order to prevent us from making the same mistakes again. However, its also important that this is spoken about respectfully and without humiliating the person at hand. If the individual dismisses what you've said and continues to act out regardless of you efforts in trying to work things through then maybe its time to take a step back from the situation.

What a great question! First, you should try and understand why this person is acting this way. Some people go through tough times and it causes them to act a certain way. Putting yourself in their shoes may help find some clarity. From personal experience, I would gently bring up the behavior in a conversation. Just asking if they are okay or if there’s anything they want to talk about can open up the floor for them to explain. You could also just simply tell them they are making you feel a certain way and if it’s possible to talk about it. Be transparent but also considerate about the other person’s feelings. Happy Healing!
