Are there people you simply dislike having to deal with?

There is not a person I know that does not have some amount of dislike of a certain person or persons. Whenever people say "I hate that person". I tell them that if we focus on what we don't like about a person, you will dislike them. But, when you focus on what you like about someone, that person's true light will shine through. One of my friends (who is no longer with us) was so caustic. She could be so miserable. She have nasty things to say about just about anything. But, this woman had a heart of gold. She would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. Her friends were few because of her personality. I am proud to say that I was one of her closest friends.

My main method of dealing with people I don't like is to avoid them. When it's impossible to avoid (eg a family occasion with inlaws) I make sure there are plenty of others there, so I don't have to talk much to the object of dislike, plus I exercise massive control in being neutral and strictly avoiding any controversial topic. Of course this is much more difficult if the person you dislike is your boss as you see them every day. In this case, look for another job/try to get a transfer to another department. It's simply too stressful dealing with someone you loathe on a daily basis.

yes their i dislike my husband cousin because he has no respect for women and dont know how to treat them he abuses them and treats them like a piece of trash,when i have to see him i dont really talk to him unless he says something to me im not rude to him i just be civil to him because he is family and its out of respect for my husband that is why i do it.

There are always people that one must deal with whom one does not care for. There are people in my church who I find are difficult and I am not fond of them. But I remember that they are good Christians and that it is not my part to judge. So I try to remember humility and forebearance and that is how I get through the interactions.

Hm...This is a nice question. If I would name who,it would be my customers. They scream and question alot. Especially if something goes wrong with the billing. If we don't face them and explain then they will make some cold remarks and tell them off to other customers who will think twice whether to take our products. As the golden rule for us in the service line "CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT". So, be nice and smile*

Still everybody face the same problem in their life and so nothing can be done and the only way is to adjust with them and lead our life.I had a person now too who does not want to tell me anything regarding the work information or to help me but he acts as if i am his best friend in our company.It all happens adjustment is only wat i can say...

Thanks for pointing out that. There are people like you have pointed out in everybody's life. I have one in the form of my ugly ex-boss, who used to pinch me for no reason. Anyway, I could do nothing but to digest and continue working. Good news is that the person seems to loose all his spirit and now-a-days seems to have changed quite a bit probably getting frustrated by the fact that I would ignore his every comments, actions and gestures.

Yes, there a lot of people I don't like to see but I have no choice because I see them everyday. I just avoid them as long as I can so I cannot confront bigger problems and add up to my own.

I can't stand my boss and co-workers. I basically deal with them by keeping to myself.

I cannot hide my dislike to these kind of people. I usually ignore them, if I have to mingle with them not by my choice. I cant pretend to a sitution that I have to be nice to them. Though I wouldn't do anything mean to them also.

If I have to visit or meet somebody I don't particulary like, I usually tell somebody in my family to phone me at a certain time and pretend their is an emergency at home. I politely excuse myself and tell them I am sorry, but something has come up and I need to get home in a hurry. Of course, if I need to see the same person again, I have to think up another excuse.

I usually tend to just ignore them. I never go out of my way to see them and try to be out of their site as long as possible. Usually people who I dislike know it and don't talk to me...so it's never really a BIG problem for me.

There are many people you meet in day today life. But not all of them are worth keep as friends. Some people are to be kept like they are, I mean not to be introduced or befriended. There are others after befriended show their true colours. We should be careful of such people.

My dads gf is really fake and she alwys has this big cheesy smile at me like im her favrite person int eh world and really I know she dosnt care at all she does it to make my dad like her more. I hate going over there becaue they are always fawning all over each toher and watching my dad kiss somebody all the time is just gross who wants to see there dad acting like that. Eww.

I find myself avoiding the people I'd rather not be around. Sometimes its my in-laws and right now my sister and her son. The main reason I try to avoid them is because I know myself, I don't agree with the way they do things and I know I won't be able to hold my tongue easily. When something is wrong its wrong and unfortunately for me, my opinion finds its way out in subtle ways to make things right.

i guess the most worst thing to deal with one you dislike the best thing thing i can do to avoid this person as possible as you can ,and if obligated then deal with in short

Yup Everyone will come acroos such a person all the time. Even i too came across many situations of such kind.

This topic hits a sensitive spot with me. Yes I have a few people that I intensely dislike, but I have to work with them on a daily basis. Most of the times its bearable, but then some days its just becomes to much to handle. I am a kind of person who dislikes confrontation, so I tend to just always be collegial about it all the time. But then a pshycholgist gave me the good advice. I must imaging myself being a lion in the wilderness. Each lion marks his territory and growls when another male steps inside that territory, and ultimately there are not that many fights between lions in nature. The analogy here is that its important to "growl" regularly to inform someone when they are overstepping their boundaries or my belives and values. This will lead to less confrontation in the end. I hope this makes sense! Bottom line, let the people who you dislike know subtly what you stand for and if you think they are overstepping their boundaries, dont just let it be, other wise you will be forced to go into a more serious confrontation with them, which is always of a ugly nature.

I attend a lot of dinner-meetings for educational purposes after work. These meetings are generally attended by a core group of people in the field, about 10-15 usually attend, and there is a speaker for the presentation. We all get along great and have a lot of fun except for 1 person who tries to manipulate and dominate every issue and conversation. She's unwilling to listen to other points-of-view, and is very opinionated. She irritates me so much that sometimes I find it very difficult to ignore her, which I try to do. It's easier if I just accept that she is the way she is, and I try not to feed into it by even talking with her, which I know will be a "bad" experience. I've gotten good at being polite and cordial, and then heading for the opposite end of the table!

Yes and we can say it's my boss. This woman prides herself on getting her rear kissed daily. I don't oblige, so I am scum to her. I don't care, I keep focus on the big picture, bless her heart and keep on doing the right thing everyday. People like that may succeed in their work place, but outside it they are the biggest flunkies you've ever met. Social misfits with not much of a life. If you stop to think about, these people need to be pitied.
