He and I work in the same floor in the same building. If I want to get copied papers, I have to pass his office, and it's not rare to meet him. The thing is that seems he doesn't like me and always avoid to look at me or even head down and say nothing. Everytime my smile face and hello were stucking there and that's awkward. Now I think I am axious to pass through his office.

Hi Whatever, Welcome to Mylot. I can see how this could be awkward but if he has never said anything to you, bear in mind that you don't know him. He could just appear to be unfriendly. You are there to do a job and that is what you should focus on. Of course it would be nice and all if he were a little friendlier when you passed by but it has nothing to do with your job. Continue to be friendly and maybe he will come around and maybe not. Either way, don't let it affect your work.

Hi Whatever, Thanks for the BR. Don't let him get to you. It's too bad that he couldn't be a little kinder especially considering that you are new. Still, like you said, it you've done nothing wrong then you shouldn't be feeling bad.

yes,you are right, and I do still feel a little bit uncomfortable, but I am sort of relieved now coz if I do nothing wrong I shouldn't be the person with bad feeling like I've done something wrong. What I can not relieve is he is nice to everyone and openheart and kind and whatever, except of me. He is definitely not a person with weak personality. By the way, I am new to where I work, really new.

Hi. whatever2010. Welcome to myLot! He sounds like he is just shy. He is just a quiet person that is uncomfortable around others. Hopefully, his self-esteem is not low, because that is what it seems like it is. I hope that he has no issues with you at all.

Hi whatever! You would continue to be bothered and uncomfortable even by one person who dislikes you. I think you would be a lot happier to think of those who like you than otherwise.

If you have not done thing to provoke and or deserve than I would say take a few deep breaths and keep telling yourself that some people just opt to being miserable and cause misery amongst others. Walk straight pass the person with your head up high and give him a taste of "kill with kindness" . Say Good Morning and walk past fast. Next time you pass again. Good afternoon and walk past fast. Nothing more outside of that as some people just are not cut out to socialize. Oh I do see you are new to myLot so a very warm welcome to you.

He's the one with the problem and not you. If he hates you, that's his problem. You smile at him, he does not smile back, what's his problem? That person is going to grow old fast. Do not mind him. Do not let his negative energy create any feelings of angst in you because that is not good for your health. Let him dwell on his negative feelings and just keep on smiling even if he gives you a frown in return. Just have that smile on your face and we will see who will be in the losing end.

i would say that i'm not a very likable person, i mean i'm not the type that you will easily like. that's based on experience. but people who had the chance to know me better would say that i'm actually likable and loveable. and i am proud to say, modesty aside, that my friends truly like and love me. we cannot force people to like us. and i'm not the type of person who would insist myself on being liked if i know that they really don't like me. for sure thre would be other people who would like you. as long as you're not doing anything wrong, its perfectly fine even if you are disliked. after all, it may be their loss, not yours.

Just ignore him. There are always people who hate you and like you in this world. It's normal as long as they don't do any harm to you.

It's hard to make everyone like you. I would say just avoid him too. Trust me, it's a lot worse to have someone that dislike you to be around. Atleast he is avoiding you, that's a good thing.

I don't like to be disliked by anyone. it doesn;t do much for feeling good about yourself. i try to find a way to turn the dislike around if i can. if i can't, that is just something i'll have to live with.

hmmm...kinda have this feeling at work but the people were the gay bosses and the grudge was personal. only because of their bets. actually not only to me, but also to some other girls. i tried to ignore and avoid them but i thought i dont need unnecessary stress so i resigned.

Just always be kind to him, make him realize that you are not same as what he thinks you are. Just be good to him and don't do something that can make him angry.

Well it's his loss if he doesn't like you. As long as you do your part in reaching out to him yet he still doesn't want your friendship then you have nothing to worry about. There are a lot of people out there who i know loves you. One rejection is not the end of the world.
