how to get along well with someone you don't like?

I think what you need to do, is try to understand their weakness and strength by becoming their friends instead of neglecting them. As you understand them and learn who they are, you will be able to accept them gradually. Though,if you you don't like their behavivors, try not to criticize them openly.

my advice is just try to blend with your environment. And be civil to people around you, don't take part on arguments. Do not take sides, just take the neutral floor. do not participate in rumors. Just mind your own business and you'll do good, i hope. :)

There is really no method to it I think. I just grit my teeth and go in and do it. That is just the way things work in the school place, in the work place, and in life. There are going to be many people who you won't like. There have been various times in my life, where half of the people in the place that I am, I cannot stand, for any number of reasons. Sometimes it is more than half of the people that I cannot stand. Such is life. There are a lot of times where I had the strongest temptation to reach across a table or a desk and strangle someone just for acting like a nitwit. Yet, that wouldn't really solve anything. So I just dealt with the situation. There are just times where you got to just be there, know that the experience will be done before you know it, and limit your interaction to them as much as possible. That is the road to survival. No two ways about it.

You don't need to get along with them. You come their to study and not to get along with everybody. I'm sure you can find friend other than them in your school right? The best way to do it is make friends with their friends but don't make friends with does you don't like. You don't need to be like or need to like all of them.

Maybe you should try getting along with them more. Maybe you're not trying hard enough. Just try to know their likes and what they usually do there.

What I am seeing here is an opportunity for you to learn how to properly handle persons of different attitudes. You can think of it as a laboratory wherein you try to discover a cure for an illness. With regard to criticisms, they go beyond your college days and the level of criticisms I am sure is on a higher level when you are already practicing your profession. We can't discount the possibilities of not meeting persons who are highly critical on us or on our work. What we can do is to prepare for them. If you really can't feel any connection with your classmates, may be it is time for you to transfer to another class and stop the mental and emotional torture to yourself :)

i know what you feel. college is totally a different world from high school. as college students, we are now treated as adults. there is more freedom from what you were experiencing when you were in high school. but of course more freedom would mean more responsibilities. aside from loads of school works, you also have to be responsible about yourself. anyway, college is the melting pot of all kinds of people. do not expect tjat you would get along with each of your blockmates. if you dont like what you see in them, then look for someone you think you could get along with. you could also start gaining friends by talking to your seatmates. i know there will always the need to fit in, but you do not have to lose what you really are just to be accepted. do not stop being yourself. you would want someone to befriend you because of who you not because of who they think you are.
