I am what i am so if there are people who don't like me then thats their choice.I will just ignore them.I am nice to people who treated me nice but it doesn't mean i would treat bad to those who don't like me.I still treat them the same.Anyway,i am not doing anything wrong to them.Maybe they just don't like me.There are some people that i don't like also but i never show to them.I still nice to them but not to the extent of being close to them.Just greet them during acquaintances and answer them if they ask something.

I'm generally not nice to people who don't like me--like you, I just ignore them instead. But every once in a while, there's something enjoyable about being ridiculously nice to someone who doesn't like you (particularly if they don't like you for no apparent reason) just to freak them out. :)

It also makes them look like jerks to other people if they snub you when you are being nothing but nice. It is so fun to mess with other people's minds!

Yes...but if they did some actions like bullying me, I'll definitely fight against them. If they don't like the real me, well I'm very sorry 'coz I want to be real me. But if they don't like my attitude, they should confront me and tell me what attitude that I have, that they don't like so I can manage and try to change my attitude.

Im nice to everyone and i dont know who and who likes me or not.Unless,there's someone who told me that the person dislike me and i will still treat them well without any hatred or grudges feelings.People had their own rights to like or dislike somebody but so far for me..im not sure of someone who dont like me.People arounds me are fine but some people may show faces if they are uneasy with us.I will still treat them nicely and respect them as a person. I will be nice to them and so forth they will be nice to me too.But if i have done my best to be nice,and they create silly attitude to me i would consider to react positively or negatively on the situation.

Its always good to be nice to everybody but we are just human we can't let everybody like us same as we don't like everybody also.Sometimes there are people that we don't like but still we don treat them nicely.

I try to be nice to everyone even though I don't like them....You can't like all people and they don't have to like you back. I find that if I'm nice to them they can't figure out what is wrong with me....But that okay cause when you treat someone nice and they are nasty people it makes them wonder Why..... I a person is alway trying to get back at someone it only eats them up.....It just makes thing a lot unconfortable for them.... I have had people tell me that I'm a bigger person than they are because I'm nice to nasty people.

I don't have to be goody-goody to people who don't like me. Like you, I just ignore them and pretend that they do not exist. LOL If they don't like me, that is their problem not mine. As long as they do not get in the way too often, I can always pretend that they are not there.

Yes it is impossible but sometimes we have to greet them when it should be needed.

We don't have to change ourselves just for them.They should love and like what we are if not them thats their problem not ours, right?

I try not to pay attention to them myself as much as possible. If they ask for directions at work or something i will help them out but otherwise its just nice to keep my distance. I find these people to be downers anyways and to hang out with them i find is awkard. I mean would you want to be in a place or in a group of people where you are not welcome?

I won't!It would be uneasy to do.

I am polite to people who do not like me or I do not like them. No excuse for poor manners. I treat them with kindness because I know they can't stand me. As for the people I do not like I just act as if they are not there. No sense in being mean.

Acting like they never exist would be a good idea too and we will see what would they feel about it.

Just the same, I don't treat them in a discriminating way. Often, If you treat those kind of people with act of kindness, later on, they themselves would feel some guilt/shame on the way they had acted. Later on, you'll just realize that they're treating much more better.

I try my best to be nice to everyone. I make a special effort to be pleasant to people at work who seem to dislike me for no discernible reason. When there are other people around it makes them look ridiculous to be rude and mean to me when I am being my sweet and pleasant self. There are some people in my personal life that I just don't like and who have never liked me. These are the people I do my very best to avoid. But if I do have to see them, I try to be nice but minimize conversation with them. People tend to be able to tell I don't like them. My sister says I wrinkle my nose when I talk about certain people that I dislike greatly.

It would be nice to everyone but we can't please everybody and not all can please us.So i guess we just have to avoid those people who dislike us and just keep going with our own life.

Yes and No. To an extent i'm nice to people that don't like me. If that's the way it has to be to keep the peace or something. I'm not someone who is easily walked over, i always have my say even when i should keep my mouth shut and sometimes say things i regret when people push my buttons.

We are just human no matter how we tried to stay calm sometimes we lose our temper too and its good to express our feelings.It would make us feel better.

I generally try to be nice to everyone even the ones who are rude or dont like me. Myself I try and treat people the same way I want to be treated. Plus, you have no idea none what so ever on why that person maybe rude or don't like you. They may be haveing the worst day ever and just a simple smile or hello can make all the difference in the world. Not only that but it pisses people off who dont like you if you are nice to them.

we have this saying, we can't please everybody, we could feel the same way with others too, there would be someone whom you don't really like or get along with and for me, I'd reach out..if they too don't like me, that's hard, but I'd still try,and if they don't really want to make friends with..then move on and search for another..

Right! We can't force anybody to like us same as they can also force us to like them.Lets just find one that would like us so we could get along with each other.
