Seven Simple Ways to Get Along With People You Don’t Like
Coexisting with people you don’t like is difficult, yet necessary and achievable
Have you ever meet someone you didn’t like? Someone whose personality, behavior, or quirks immediately summoned a force-field of repulsion once you entered their vicinity or looked in their direction.
If your answer is ‘No’ let me be the first to nominate you for sainthood.
For the rest of us lesser mortals, we usually find it unavoidable to go through life without meeting someone who grates on our nerves: the slothful roommate who never picks up after themselves, or the backstabbing coworker who would do anything to climb the corporate ladder.
Whether at work, family reunions, kindergarten playgrounds, or the apartment next-door, you’ll inevitably run into people you don’t like; people who for some reason, rub you the wrong way.
Unfortunately, we cannot wish away the existence of these rouge elements.
Life doesn’t give us the luxury of completely avoiding those who turn our smiles upside down.
Therefore, we need to develop the adequate tools to deal with them when our paths inevitably cross.— if for nothing else but to maintain our sanity and peace of mind.
