Peevish is synonymous to short-tempered, cranky, irritable, grouchy, petulant, stuffy, testy and many more. Dealing with a peevish person depends on how irritable they are. While this could be hard, there are really times in your life when you are left with nothing to do but to deal and try to get along with these people.

First of all, you should accept that peevish people exist and face reality. Avoid calling them out since it will frustrate them and they could become more difficult. Keep your stand and be confident. There are also instances when someone who gets along well with others is an impossible one for you personally.

It is important to remain calm and never spit angry words at difficult people. Moreover, whatever you do, don’t cry since this will just stimulate them to become more impossible. Consider ignoring them and do not, in any circumstances join in blaming, complaining or bashing. Add something positive and redirect through focusing on something that is positive. As much as possible, avoid one-on-ones with these people. Suggest a third party if you have to converse with this person.  Bear in mind that you can never deal with an impossible person in the same way that you deal with anybody else. You should also understand that there are times when impossible people are ‘fact-challenged’. Do not defend yourself out loud since this will only provoke him or her into a tirade.
