Doesn't seem to matter what, you say or do, they say or do the exact opposite.
Do you know people like that?

I've met a few contrary people. I generally just avoid them. I like things to flow smoothly.
How boring! Who wants to spend all their time preaching to the choir? lol
My life doesn't include preaching of any kind....you know atheist and all that.
Ok, but do you only want to spend life talking to atheists?
LOL, actually everyone I know IRL is either a practicing or lapsed Christian. We generally speaking don't discuss religion. My one friend is actually active in her church & I'll give her donations for her kids missions or help with the charity boxes when she asks.
I have 2 people in my family that have a negative first reaction to everything. You could hand them a million dollars and they would be upset about the taxes. But then an hour or so later they would be thrilled. They just need to process things more slowly and surprises are not welcome.

No you are wrong, I bet they love paying taxes.

There are people like that. Some people are just that way. You kind of get to know them and let them have that time to process. DH is a lot like that. I am the hare and he is the tortoise. I have to back off at times to let him process.

I also manage one person at work like this. She will immediately give me 3 reasons why something won't work. It's just her way of working through the bugs before we roll something out. In 3-4 days she becomes the biggest champion of whatever it is. She just needs time to work through it. Once I learned that, and acknowledged it with her, she became a much better leader and a more valuable contributor.
