I find it extremly difficult to like people even when I force myself to. It's even at work, I have these people who I get this vibe from, just something about them and I find it hard to interact with them. I find myself forcing the hiiii, and see you later. It's like I can't talk. What's that? It's not that I hate them or dislike them, but just something tell me to stay away, it's like a feeling about them. Anyway I am tired trying to explain that, I am actually exhausted trying to explain what it is. Maybe I made sense, does any other cap feel the same way about the magnetic pull away from some people.

work requires being cool with everyone, but I tell ya I can't force myself into doing that sometimes. It's like pulling teeth.

I wonder if that crap about accepting people for who they are is ultimately true. It sounds like a punch of nonsense to me unless it's family. I wonder how aquas just accept people for who they are and are able to interact with all types of people. That's one thing I like about aqua folks.

well it's true about accepting people who they are.
but if they are "bad" people, very negative I stay far away. I don't like negativity. And I'd have to concur with M below,
and if a family member/close friend brings someone along I don't "feel" good vibes with, I'll be polite for their sake.
In business, if you're to meet people for financial gain, you have to deal with everyone. Bad and good, but the bad you can keep at a distance. you dont'have to have a personal relationship/friendship with anyone you don't want to have with. Why force it. keep it professional in business, anyway.

I try to find at least one positive thing about the person and focus on that. With some people it is very hard to do. But, surely everyone has something about them that is good - even it it's just good hair or just recognizing how good someone is at manipulation. 🙂
