Haha, With no intention to be mean, I just think I would like to share something that is probably as ommon as day and night to every one. I meant to say, there are those people no matter how kind you are, or how you see the good in everyone... There are just those people whom we meet, at work, in school, or our friends' friends... and so on. I mean, i have just met him, there were discussions but i have decided that I just don't like him. I feel during meetings this person is too boastful, and sometimes to a point of being disrespectful with my other team mates. Arghhh whenever he talks, you'll just feel he is trying too much but is not as knowledgeable as he tries to show us all. (he is a consultant by the way and we are his company's clients)

hehe =) that can be done, after all there are smiles that you have to flash so they will just not talk to you or what, seeing that they should probably know that you are not interested in talking with them.

in Life we meet new people almost everyday. Therefore, the probability of meeting exciting and not so exciting is 50 X 50 by chance. Yes, there are lots of good people potential to become friends... and yes lots to become acquaintances. Personally I call these not so "good" people as acquaintances. I don't fight with them anymore, I am tired of "fighting" now, if I don't like them, I am just civil. well patience is a virtue, hehehehe... anyway, all he can do is just talk.. and show that he is Mr. Know it all. Hmmm my naughty thought again.. LOL. (whisper to you: You can use him to know something like, secrets of the company or think something else, hihihi (naughty thought.. naughty thought).... You will find it FUN).

Wherever you go, whoever you meet, you will always find one or two bad apples, some people are a good judge of character and can usually tell from the first meeting that they don't like someone, trouble is, it can be like judging a book by it's cover, some people may look mean or hostile, or make you feel uncomfortable, but it's only when you get to know the real person inside that you discover how wrong you were at first glance. Other times you just get the bad aura from them and it's a sign to steer clear at all costs!

some people just have bad energy... you can feel the air change when they walk in the room. That doesn't mean that they are "bad" they are just not a person for you. No matter rather they are bad or not, when you feel that feeling.. always listen to it

I agree with you that sometimes we meet people who we don't think that we can't like ever. Apparently in my experience. Sometimes, it was just for first impression and I end up liking the person after several days or months... WE always do have the "first impression"to other people.

I know what you feel in your situation. I am like you. I met someone else during my study, my first impression to him is boastful and overconfident. I hate those kind of people. One time we have a groupings and we became group mates, so what are you expecting, he became the leader of the group. I know he has potential so we trust him even the other members also don't like him. So during our meeting, he started to make the conversation but not related to the subject rather he asks to tell each of us our story. He wants us to know each other first, he wanted to have a open communication within the group. And then he tells his story at last. From his own story in his life, we found out why he is like that and now we understand his situation. Meaning every person has its reason why they became like that. We just need to know more about them before we judge them..

I was 8 years old when I met my adoptive parents for the first time. I immediately knew I didn't like them. I can't tell you why I felt that way, but they definitely proved I was right. Unfortunately, 8 year olds aren't given a choice in such matters. And unless the judge was open minded they wouldn't have given my feelings a second thought. Not that the judge even spoke with my brother and I. Sometimes it's just instinctual. Even now. But I do at least give a person a chance. I'm not always right. Just 97% of the time. I have to say, with the description you have just given of this person, it would be uncomfortable. Sounds a great deal like one of my brother in laws. No one wants him around. Well, except for his wife, sometimes.

Thank you and I really appreciate your time to respond in the discussion. I agree with you, sometimes we just have to be with people even if we feel uncomfortable with them i thought when i get to know the person i would feel at ease working with him, but then again, i guess its not possible still because he's got some attitude i really do not like, perhaps i would just try to discard this. he he

For sure I have met many who I just know off-hand that I don't want to be friends with them. The people I don't like are the types who need to be the center of attention all the time. People who do nothing but lie about everything and anything. The drama queens who are always having some type of problem that you need to know about, no matter how big or small. I also don't like the type you think they know it all and feels everyone is stupid. There are times I will meet someone and know instantly that this person is not for me. I get this feeling come over me and I seriously believe its my women's intuition telling me to stay away from this person because they are bad news. Nine out of ten times I was correct in my assessment of this person.

Plenty in my life. And I was always right about them, although people said I should not judge before I know them or just by seeing them. I learned not to listen to those people anymore since it always turned out very badly for me at the time I did ignore my feelings.

hehe oh yeah plenty in our lives, from work, classmates, friends of friends... sometimes you just feel it, right? that you do not want to be with the person because he seemed a bit not the type you can get along with. Thank you and I really appreciate your time to respond in the discussion.

I have met people who I had "bad vibes" from almost instantaneously! Although I do try to see the good in others, those vibes kept me from pursuing a friendship or any kind of relationship. I always took it as a sort of warning. In a few instances I found out much later I was right to have paid attention to my gut feelings. Sometimes a person can just try too hard to be liked. That's a huge turnoff. At my age, I really am not seeking new best friends or even deep friendships. I have a few close friends, my family, my cats, and I am happy. It's nice to meet others, but not go any further than that. My neighbors and I are friendly, and we'll treat each other to a coffee every now and then. If you are his company's clients, it sounds like there is no obligation on your part to "like" him, or even be friends with him. He works for you, right?

hehe oh there are these kind of people that we seem to notice some bad vibes about them... but then yeah as you have said it you just have to somehow try to understand, or try to just like them because we are going to be working with them for a long time.

ohhh yes...i always try not to judge a person, i'm a peaceful person but i can't help myself when i meet annoying people.i don't like the ones that speak loudly to be noticed or praised.also i can't stand the ones that say they are good at everything without proving it...i'm a modest person, i don't like showing off.

As soon as they open their mouths you want them to be quiet. They feel they must, one up, everyone else.
