How do you deal with a micromanaging and controlling employer and client as an HSP?

thankyou for this discussion post as I didnt know of the mircomanaging label..I had a boss he was very scarey..the sort youd advoid knocking on the door..when first working with them..I felt like shaking and then decided it was not going to do my bloodpressure any good..I use to use distraction techniques in a conversation that they fogot what they was controlling me over..kind of turned it around..but I also learned to listen because they actually was a good manager and when I took on some of the things and not got defensive which is easy to do..I did learn alot..being HSP my problem seems to be I bring things out in people emotions..I can find I set of people laughing..or can have anger issues thrown at me..sometimes I dont even now why

Lilypotter reading youre reply got me thinking and found a piece called being a dartboard of how to cope in difficult situations.youre totally right in what youve written its about finding a good balance and learning and also finding that sanctuary..http://mentalhealth.about.com/od/selfhelp/a/seelefant.htm I know I didnt like it when I was pulled up over something..we dont always like to be thrown out of comfort zones or have something in our personality shown openly to us..I didnt like it must admit..but I thought yes they was right it was my fault..I was responsible also..from it I learnt and it gave me a different view..

Live and learn. If you really like your job find ways to cope and manage, if you don't move on. It's a bit like an unhappy relationship, don't have your self esteem and confidence damaged and taken by narcisistic people. Don't let yourself suffer the consequences. The spiritual stength you have inside along with everything else that you have already in you, whether you realise or not is there to help you be. Use it, don't allow someone to use and/or abuse you. Happiness could be just round the corner...

Thank you for your reply.

It has been a trying week at work for me and my husband. We both work for the same employer, at the same place, same shift and same job.

Received a rent increase notice today.

Both of us will be looking for better jobs... better pay and better work conditions.
