How do you handle people you don't like?

Ever since I'm sick. I become very choosy in picking up a new friend. I'm afraid they will not like me because of my current situation. And when it comes to not liking someone, I am very observant about it. If I don't like the person. He/she will not gonna hear anything from me, I will just smile and walked away. Sometimes I don't mind them and walked away. I don't like to mingle and wear plastic smile and pretend. I'm always being honest. But I have this attitude that if I don't like someone and that person talks real sense. I will give it a try to listen and talk a little. Any thoughts about this?

The same method too. Just a simple smile. I do not talk too much with him or her.

@JustBhem Not telling them that we hate them or don't like them but at least they can feel or tell it from our actions.

Being honest or frank is also a good thing. At least they will know you don't like them. :)

I too had this thing with people,i used to think they might judge me. I think you should try to know a person a little and then form an opinion about him/her.Try talking about the things you like and you might end having a real conversation.And always remember,Be Honest (:

I do that sometimes. Other people only talks to you if they find it boring to talk to other people and at the moment. But if they are busy with some other people. They will not gonna talk to you.

The only reason I don't like a person is when that person doesn't like me too. I always give people a chance to prove themselves worthy of my time. If they're not, I just move on and don't waste my time on them.

It does depend on our situation? I talked to a lot of people in my job so didn't have much choice but still there are people that you want to open up to and others to close down.

@JustBhem we can't agree with everyone or maybe not at all but still can communicate?

I just ignore them, like they don't exist at all. Hihi bad me! But if they will approach me, I will be nice to them. It's not being plastic but sometimes it is also good to be nice even to people we don't like. But don't expect me to be the first to make a move.

@JustBhem I think it's fine the way you handle it. I do believe that we can all get our point across without arguing or being fake. Not everyone can get along so the best thing to do is just not communicate.

I do not have a big group of friends, I'm not overly social but if I don't like someone I will completely ignore them. They will not even get a smile out of me, I'm not one to try and pretend I don't like them, they will know for sure that I have an issue with them.

There are various degrees to keep away people depending on their proximity. If for example you encounter them every day of your life then you have to tolerate them.

I think we should surround ourselves with people who are good for us because toxic relationships are not good for us!

Negative people for instance. It will slow us down that is why we need to be careful in choosing people but that doesn't mean we need to shut them down. A second chance maybe.

I just avoid and literally find ways to not talk to them. Sometimes it's unavoidable if they are in your closer circle of family or friends. There are some people I strongly dislike I don't make eye contact with them I don't even smile. I don't like pretending that everything is okay. The only time I would listen to what they say is when they make sense that's the time I make an exception.

Everybody cannot like everybody-this is the truth of life. Your post is somewhat confusing. You say that if you don't like someone then you just smile and walk away but would like to talk to a person whom you do not like only in case he is talking real sense. Do you see paradox in this?? Its okay to be confused like this sometimes because it lets your mind to decipher itself. My opinion is that you judge a person's worth first and then decide to befriend him/her and this case is true with each and everyone of us in the human world. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Oh. I did not say that I will befriend them. I will try to listen and talk to them. But that doesn't mean I will befriend them. I respect your opinion about this. And you got your point.

We cannot pick new friends until and unless we approach to the people we like. Friendship starts when we start talking to a new face, if we do not approach to them, definitely the other person will either think that we are not interested or we are introvert. I always prefer to keep myself to a limit when approaching to a new person cause it is really important to know the other person's behavior. And of course we can also sense on the very first meeting whether the person is of our kind or not.
