Tackling dislike, practically :(

When working at an office or organization, one is bound to come across people that they aren't comfortable with or do not like. Generally, it's easy to avoid these people...but what does one do when you DO have to interact with them? As you said, what I would do is..take a deep breath and interact at a professional level. I've still got bad vibes despite sticking to work related matters. The other person isn't mature enough to put aside personal differences. Nothing can be done about that from my end.

Definitely, there are people whom we dislike and whether we like it or not, we still have to communicate with them. Especially in office settings or project works. I think disliking someone will only take a toll on ourselves and we'll just feel unhappy when we see them. We should change our attitude and try to see things openly. Rather than disliking that person, it would be good if we can try to see the good side of the person and think of their advantages, their good points. I know this is much easier said than done. However, don't you think that disliking people only makes ourselves unhappy? Then, what's the point. You are right, we have to deal with it in a professional. Keep smiles on our faces and talk properly to that person. think of it this way. Whether we like that person or not ,we have to communicate with him/her. Why no try to like this person and then our job will become so much easier. I think this is something that i have to learn too.

People come and go in our lives and there are times when we can't help but deal with people we don't really like, it's even weird because most of these people haven't really don'e anything to us that makes us annoyed even if they haven't touched our skins. I have come across of people who I find unprofessional and not really pleasing. But as long as she doesn't step my foot then there won't be any problem. As for talking to them about it, I don't think that's your job. It would only cause a lot of commotion because it will be your word against him/her. It's better to just shut up and be careful that they won't do anything to harm your work. You could also consult your HR officer or office for these types of behaviors. Make it official. Good luck! Have a great MyLot experience!

Hi there, Although I am a very easy person to deal with, there are some I find very difficult to connect with. I like you can certainly handle anything sent my way. Does not mean I have to like them, and in fact it means I have to like me more to be able to handle some of the mediocre they dish out. So as long as they are not abrupt and rude I feel I can pretty much smile and not place emotions towards them, simple as say okay and hello to you to, things like that. In other words I find I can be amicable, but certainly on the guard to assure I do not entrust too much.
