To people you don't like, how do you get along with them?

It's really hard but I try to ignore it. I try to not let it affect me as much. Even though I secretly dislike the person, I will still try to be nice to them. It really is hard to do though because usually, in situations like these, I really just don't want to bother with them, but I also don't want to be mean or rude. And like you said, just like the golden rule. If someone hated me, I'd rather they still be nice to me than not. It would make my day miserable otherwise.

Don't be too bad,don't be too nice either.There's no need to displeas him especially if he is just small,tiny and mean.That's my thoery.

we cant really avoid annoying people especially colleagues at work. good thing that i often deliver good jokes which would somehow make the atmosphere happy. and it helped me gain good friends. ridiculous as others may say coz i was able to gain respect to an annoying colleague for them but i simply answer them, you really have to have a face value. merry christmas fulltank!

Hi, fulltank. I would not treat those people differently. I would not let them know that i don't like them most of the time. However, if the person is really annoying, then i would try to avoid from getting along with him/her. I am the person who will not express much the anger in front of them, if i always get along with them, that means i will get hurt by them sometimes and this will make me sad. That's why it is better to avoid meeting them. However, if the person has done too much, then i will be very angry and not talk to him/her. So far, there was only one person who really made me angry, and that let me know even a good friend could do something to hurt you! That disgust me! Well...seems it's been 2 years ago, i already forgave her, but we are no longer good friends like before. Have a nice day and happy posting!

I have to agree with what you wrote above. I do the very same thing. I try to also not be around them. If I do I am very quite and stand off to one side. I don't like to show others how I dislike them. I would not want to be made to feel bad either.

I know some extremely annoying people, and I just try to ignore them when they say anything.

The ideal way to get along with these people is to find something in them that you can like. No one is totally bad, and if you look deep enough, you'll find something to respect. Maybe that grouchy old guy at work is tired because he works nights at a homeless shelter, or it's possible that the gal who gives you a lot of guff is going through a divorce. We all have problems, and we need to respect those of others. If I honestly can't find anything about the person to like, I try to avoid them.

When it comes to people I don't like, I just walk right past them without talking to them if I cannot avoid being around them. Otherwise I just stay away from them and avoid them.

Well it depeends on how much I dislike them .If I reeally dislike them becaus eof their attitude towards other I may stick around them but no too much and try to talk to them but if the dislike stems from the way they treat me and I cant talk to them ,well I will stay away from them as much as I possibly can

I have to say that it's something that I do not like to happen often. I would rather ignore them than show face to them and them thinking everything is okay. I beg to disagree to show face to them all the time. So I would just ignore and chat with other people instead. But of course I still show them respect and courtesy just enough to not make them feel that I do not like them.

Just keep normal relationship, greeting on special day and i can not share more secret with them, however sometimes they always wanna join in your grups, of course when i go out with my friend they can go toghter, but just drinking.

ignore whatever they say, it really doesn't affect me

All the guys around me is really annoying. When they approached me, I walked away. When they started a conversation with me, I said that I have something to do. When they asked something from me, I won't answer. When they wanted something from me, I won't give them. I never even wanted to be friends with them. They take and then take. They never give. Each time I did a nice thing to them. They take more.

For me if i don't like someone and i should get along with them. First i will think of in what situation of it. For example if it happen in office, i'll keep in touch with them but only in job, but if this feel help me to be careful with everyone, why not?. I think it's useful for me

I try being as soft as possible with people whom I can't get along with for a start. I keep tolerating them only to a certain extent as long as I can withhold my temper. But if it gets beyond a certain limit, then I ask them to lay off and mind themselves and even if that doesn't work, then I start maintaining a healthy distance, or even totally ignore them.

Hi, Fulltank, I agree with your two methods of how overcom that unlike situation, but i am try to avoid to get along with those people i don't like. in the case meeting such those people, i try to account every minute i has stay with them, and the time has been passed very slowly. Surely, It is a hard time for me.

I would say that this is definitely a challenge and sometimes it's hard to be in the same room without feeling that little bit uncomfortable! There's just a weird atmosphere and it seems that everyone in question wants to disappear! However, I have been involved with this situation in the past and the way I dealt with things was to remain respectful and try to steer clear of them! This is not easy I know and at times there can be so much anger but thankfully I've never allowed my anger to have the edge over me. I suppose there will always be people in life that don't like you for whatever reason, I can think of two people and they live above me! Anyway, there are plenty of decent people in the world and I guess it's best to focus attention on them! Andrew

When I don't like somebody, I tend to be more quiet around them. I'll probably just smile a little when they pass me and probably help them out when they need something. I just won't talk to them much or act chippy around them as I do with others.

actually i met this people in my life,i have exclusion for them.but i find that i would not treat them like that,because we worked at the same place,we often see each other and have conversation with them.so what i have done make us ambarrassment,so i can pretend to anything would happend with her and still have conversation with her,so it quickly concile our relationship.sometimes we need generous heart to contain her and treat her as normal friends,i think that generous heart can change ambarrass relationship.

I would have to agree with your method. Respecting the person first is the only way that I know how I can possible tolerate the people that I absolutely can't stand deep down. I try not to be mean because I feel bad afterwards.
