should you be nice to people you can't stand?

Well I will not to be in contact with the person that I can't stand. But if circumstance does not allow, I will not show any sign of disrespect regardless of their age but I will be brief in my conversations with them and then walk away.

i'll just don't mind him/her, why waste my precious time to those kind of people. well. if i'm not really the main concern in his/her doings, better not to give some attention, but if he/she did somehing bad on me, well it's the time to confront them and asked what's the problem and she acts like that...

I have tried the "kill them with kindness" thing like the bible says. It really works! Most of the time I can't do it until some time has passed and I don't feel so angry toward them anymore. But it works and confuses them.

hi yang :-) i guess it always pays to be nice no matter what. if you really can't stand him/her the its best to just avoid interacting with that person..but still don't be rude.

I think there is always a need to be kind - even to someone you can't stand. My actions are under my control and I will never let someone dictate them - in other words - never, ever, ever sink to their level. Everyone has the ability to be the bigger person and I promise, it will benefit you in the end. I believe there is NEVER an excuse to be rude, live by that, and have found it benefits me more than "blowing my top" ever could.

It's just "Hi" & "Bye" to plastic people for me. Just acknowledgement especially to those older than us. But thee's no point being rude or even having a long conversation with them since that would be putting up a show. I'd just walk away

It depends on who it is. I would have a really hard time being nice to someone if he or she actually DID something horrible to me or a family member or friend. But if its a case of someone who I have poor chemistry with, I have no problem with smiling and saying hi!

I believe we should be polite but there's no way I'm gonna pretend to like someone i don't. Just be relevant and behave but no need to go out of your way for people that disrespect you
