How to Deal with Annoying People

Annoyed? Frustrated? Wishing someone would just stop being the way they are?

You’re not alone—and this episode is for you.

In this raw and real episode from the forests of Huilo Huilo, Chile, Justin shares two powerful tools for dealing with the most triggering, annoying, and frustrating people in your life — without losing your peace, your joy, or your power.

This isn’t about pretending things are okay. It’s about learning what your reaction is trying to teach you, and how to shift it into clarity, growth, and even connection.

💡 Key Takeaways

🙃 Most “annoying people” don’t know (or care) that they’re bothering you. They’re not the problem: your reaction is.

🧠 Tool 1: Curiosity. Ask: What’s really going on with them? Why might they be doing this? Curiosity helps disarm reactivity.

🔍 Tool 2: Self-Reflection. Often, what annoys you is either a part of you that you disown or a quality you wish you had.

🪞 Annoyance is a mirror. It’s not about them, it’s a chance to meet yourself more honestly.

🔄 You can set boundaries, take action, and still stay in integrity and joy. It's not either/or.

“The further you are from frustration, the closer you are to joy.” — Justin Wenck, PhD
