Letting someone's emotions affect yours

So, you step out of the house. Let's say you hire an auto. The autowallah is irritated and behaves badly. You either get out or put up with it. Don't let it affect you. You're happily listening to songs and cleaning the house. Your spouse comes home with a bad mood. You want that to affect you? You were doing well before he/she came. Then why become sad to give them company? To not get affected by other's emotions or behaviour is quite an art. It's one of the most important things one needs to learn. We come in touch with countless people each day. They are in their own worlds. Let us not let that affect us. Before you step out, reiterate that you're a confident and happy person. Feel chirpy. Step out. That itself is job half done. Then, when the lousy ones come, learn to identify them. As soon as you identify you can arm yourself. You put a wall between the person's emotions and yours. You exit in the same state as you entered :-)
