Is it important to you to have good relationships with people in general?

Question

I mean people in which you are not emotionally attached. Do you value good relationships with coworkers, neighbors, or schoolmates whom you don't speak to often? Do you believe in being friendly to everyone? I know you can't have a "relationship" with someone you don't know but are people important enough that you go out of your way not to offend or hurt anyone. What's your perspective?

Answer 1

Yes, it is a very good idea to have good relationships with other people cuz you don't want to get on anyone's bad side especially if your close or if your working with them or even if you just see them everyday.Just make that person doesn't have a gun.

Answer 2

do unto others....

Answer 3

Yes, because bad relationships lead to insulating one another and that leads to holding grudges, which leads to someone pulling a gun on you in the parking lot lol!

Answer 4

I treat people with respect until they show they are not worthy of respect.

Answer 5

Interesting. I dont actually like people very much on the whole, i have my family and friends who i love dearly, but on the whole i think people are c**p. Sorry if that offends, but that is my opinion. HOWEVER, whilst i keep myself to myself as much as possible, yes, i DO go out of my way not to offend or hurt anyone, and the reason is simple, i treat other people how i myself would like to be treated.  

Answer 6

I think if you can it is great to have good relationships with people, but sometimes your relationship requires you to get people to do things they don't want to do (boss, parent) or people for whatever reason don't want to like you. I believe in treating everyone well until they show they are not nice to me. After that, depending on the level of "not nice" I either stay away, or I am less friendly. I would never offend anyone or hurt someone just to do it, only if I need to protect myself
