Dealing with people who have a complex, are never satisfied, lack confidence, and are unable to see their own mistakes—or, in case they see them, don’t confess and blame others—can be very soul-draining and tiring.

What’s the best way to deal with such people and keep your spiritual welfare? Especially when they are part of the family?

During the last years, I’ve learned to ignore it and get deeply involved in my own business, and I keep doing that. I got so deeply involved in work over the last three years that I almost lost contact with these kinds of people. The only contact I have, because some are family, is once every two or three weeks.

At this point, I realized that work can ultimately save your mental well-being, guarantee a guiding principle of how to keep balance, and, moreover, keep some relationships intact, at least somehow.

For me, work has become a portal to the outside world, where I can express and put out my creativity. Creating something different, something new.
