I have friend who I worked with for over a year. And, although we are no longer working at the together, we are still friends and she's quite interested in homeopathy.

She keeps saying a person we both know from our work has this tendency to make her angry. He worked with us at the same place.

And, though none of us are there any longer, she still sees him occasionally because she is a good friend with his mother.

I do believe this person says a lot of stupid things, and doesn't seem to be the least bit sensitive toward others, but I have not noticed him intentionally trying to make her angry whenever we were together discussing something or other on our breaks or lunch. I may be wrong, but I think I would have noticed it in his behavior - either through a glance at her to see what effect his comments had on her, if that was his intent, or some other evidence of what she believes to be his motivation.

I've now noticed she seems to have similar suspicions about others too - strangers in fact. We will be walking down the street together in the evening. She is sensitive to bright light, especially the headlights of vehicles approaching us. If a vehicle has their bright lights on, she's feels people drive with their bright light on because they know it affects her and makes me her angry. She feels that they can sense her anger as they drive past us, or even when they just turn the corner way up the road. She feels they thrive and feed off of it and she feels that unless she can suppress her anger and not "let him/them get to me", they have won the battle. She feels they can almost read her mind and know her angry thoughts the moment she thinks them.

What are a few remedies for a person with this belief about the actions of others?
