12 Things to Do When Someone Doesn’t Understand or Like You
by Some people we work and/or live with may have reached a point in the relationship that they just don’t understand and/or don’t like us for a particular reason or none at all. Whatever the case, know that you don’t have to put up with their weird behavior. Article provides tips.
There are people everywhere that for one reason or another just don’t like certain people. You don’t have to do anything to them, but look at them without speaking and then before you know it, you are the most hated. Nowadays, we live in a very sensitive world where the slightest thing can set someone off. You may already know that someone doesn’t like you; but, just because you know this, doesn’t mean that you want to outright cause this person grief because of their dislike toward you. So how might you conduct yourself around someone who may not understand or dislike you?
1. Speak only when necessary.
You don’t have to talk to someone who you know doesn’t like you. So many people try to make people like them by saying things like, “Hi” or “How are you?” But seriously, is speaking to this person going to make he or she want to be your friend? Most likely, this person won’t say anything at all or worse, might attempt to make a fool out of you. Save the pleasantries for the people who do like you.
2. Avoid asking for anything from this person.
Some people think that by requesting something from the person who they know don’t like them will win them over. If anything, it will only make them not like you even more. “So now she thinks I’m her slave?” the hateful person thinks. You should avoid trusting anyone with an important task who you know doesn’t like you especially when it comes to your job.
3. Don’t participate in discussions about this person with others especially if you know that people in the circle get along with him or her.
Oh, it is so tempting to talk about that person who despises you, isn’t it? But you start that conversation with the wrong person, not only will you have someone who doesn’t like you, but you will have an enemy that will construct a plan to get even.
4. Avoid sharing too much about yourself with the person or anyone who speaks to this person. (Don’t give them a stick to crack your head, remember this old quote?)
