Especially, when you see or are around them frequently.

Depends on how much I dislike them. I’ll either smile or ignore. I try to be kind with a smile (and I’ll give you a few chances, in case you’ve had a bad day), but if you are an absolute prick, I’ll ignore you .

I use my normal attitude so they won’t learn that I dislike them. But dislike is very ambiguous.

I troll them hard.

Lol@troll them hard. I am not good at hiding my feelings. I tend to be fairly transparent. I had to see some relatives today I don’t get on with and things were fairly tense. We were coldly polite. We said hello, and then avoided speaking to each other.

I treat them how I would like to be treated in return.

flutherother's avatar

Politely, but I keep them at a distance.

augustlan's avatar

As rarely as humanly possible. Are these truly people you must see? Like co-workers? Is there any way you can change your circumstances so as not to have to deal with them so frequently?

I get to do that today,so I will be bringing a taser…
Actually,I keep interaction with them to a minimum but when I do have to deal with them,I treat them decently.

Back turned, trousers down, bent over, arse exposed!
That would sound brilliant coming from a sergeant major while on parade….“wait for it, wait for it!”

I ignore them.

Honestly, I figured out that if I act super nice to them, I start to forget why I dislike them. Or at least I pride myself on rising above my grudges and being the bigger person. Maybe that person’s annoying because they’re sad that no one’s nice to them, so your kind smile could cheer them up and make them less annoying.

I’m respectful and polite. I try not to spend too much time around people I dislike, but if it’s inevitable, I try to keep a cool head and keep them at a distance.

I stay away from them. Most people I dislike are people who dislike me. The reason I dislike them is because they dislike me. If I try to interact with them they will either hurt me or piss me off so I stay away from them. Some of the people that dislike me are people that seriously hate me for no good reason at all. It doesn’t feel good to be hated and anyone who says it doesn’t bother them are liars. Some of these people who hate me are people that I truly cared about and they turned on me so in order to avoid getting hurt or pissed off I avoid them as much as possible.

wundayatta's avatar

Avoid them, I think. Can’t think of anyone I actively dislike at the moment.

MilkyWay's avatar

Avoid them, and if that’s not possible I just ignore them. If they still bother me I stare hard at something for such a long time that they think there must be something wrong with me and go away.

dxs's avatar

If it’s someone important, I don’t let them know that I dislike them and cover it up with pseudosmiles. Either way, I’m too nice to totally ignore someone. I try to ignore them in the hallway, and have different attitudes toward people that do and don’t know I dislike them. For those that do, it’s understood. For those that don’t, I just kind of try to ignore but if I have to I’ll just treat them like a regular person.

If I’m forced to seem them because of a project or something I just put my feelings aside and pretend like I have no dislike of them. I try to keep it on a professional level and not personal. If I see them outside of school or wherever then I just smile and wave. There’s no point in showing your dislike of them in my opinion.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

with as much civility as I can muster while ignoring as much as can be gotten away with. I do this daily.

flo's avatar

What do you dislike about them? That would be nice to know.
