How to deal with people you don't like and yet had to see them quite often?

Answer 1

Probably not what you want to hear, but, what is it about this person you don't like? Can you see yourself doing this same thing? Have you ever done what this person is doing to anyone else?
A lot of times when people don't like each other it's because they are a lot alike. They hate seeing this personality trait in someone else. If you can embrace the things that you don't like about this person and forgive, you will see a change the next time you see them. It's a magical or spiritual difference that has no explanation.
I can say this because I have been through it myself. Give it a whirl and see what happens.
If this doesn't work - pretend that they are a member of your family. Like an uncle that is weird that the whole family tolerates because they are family - you can be civil and know that it will be over soon.

Answer 2

Politely, of course ... and if there can be other people around you so that you don't have to deal one-on-one so much the better. Pay the occasional compliment if it's not too over-the-top and honest. Don't give away too much about yourself - you could regret it later. The old rule of conversation - 'no politics, religion, or women by name' - which was originally invented for dinner parties after the women had withdrawn and the men drank port and smoked cigars still applies except that it now should be extended to include 'people by name.' And don't confide in other people that you don't like them unless you can trust them absolutely ... otherwise it'll get back to them.

Hope that helps a bit.

Answer 4

If the feeling is mutual:
Kill them with kindness, and then secretly love their discomfort.

If the feeling is not mutual:
Say (or think) as many negative things about them as you can, without them hearing of course, it makes the time go by quicker. It also helps if you blame all of the problems of the world on them. It's really easy to start and once you get going, you won't want to stop!

Answer 5

I'm in this situation often. I just outline the amount of time I have to spend with this person and focus on getting through it with a smile on my face. I try to think of something I can look forward to in the future and that often helps lift my spirits.

Answer 6

Be the better man/woman. Be polite--you never know if you'll need their help or support! Remember: the behavior you show them is what they remember and will tell other people. Watch your thoughts, however; they become your actions.

Answer 7

Just be there to do what you have to do without being overly rude. But don't say more than what is necessary. I would make excuses after a polite exchange to mingle w/others or do something else to keep you busy.

Answer 8

I take the high road and treat them civilly. Not falsely warm or overly cold. And then I just move on...

Answer 9

ask yourself what is it about them that is attracting this negative energy?

bless them
thank God that they have no power over you
bless them
MOVE ON
the less energy you give them, the less time you will see them
it works!
