How to be nicer to people, even if I don't like them by SoTheySayToMe

"exhausting, but necessary"

How I did it: I have to deal with lots of people I may not necessarily like. HOWEVER, those people aren't really going to go away. In order to achieve this goal you have to realize a couple of things:

Lessons & tips:

1. You're not going to like everyone you meet, thus not everyone you meet will like you

2. Being "nice" is necessary you don't have to be buddies with people just be cordial

3. Kindness is not friendship. Draw a line where niceness ends and stick to it

4. There's a difference between being nice/kind and being a sucker. Don't be a chump, don't be a sucker. If you have nothing nice to say just smile and say nothing.

5. Not everyone is going to give you the same courtesy so again, smile say nothing and move on.

    not possible 2 years ago

    Ive been trying at this one, but I don’t think its really working out. My step mom and I can not get along. Its come to a point where we do stuff to each other, just to make each other angry. Like last night I threw away my supper and told her it looked like puke. She then later looked through my sketch book and laughed…. I am thinking it would just be better if we didn’t even talk to each other.
