Is there a person in your life who you only pretend to like?

Question

Why do you do that?

Answer 1

since  this question is in 'Embassies & Consulates' perhaps it should be the directed at the  Swiss -  such the burden of neutality .but there must some country....

Answer 2

Nope. If i don't like someone I cut them out.

Answer 3

I have to get along with her at work. She's a hateful person who thinks she's very superior to everyone else. She's not.

Answer 4

yeah, my in laws. I do it to keep the peace i guess.

Answer 5

Yes.  Someone who reports to me at work.  Because she does a decent job at work I am supportive of her as her boss.  But on a personal basis I am struggling with liking her and trying mightily to hide it......she has a quasi militant type personality--L*****n and minority.  As her boss I feel like that "discrimination" sword is always hanging over me if I don't overcompensate.

Answer 6

my neighbour. he is a lunatic so might end up dead if I told him what I really think.

Answer 7

My sister's fiance...I pretend to like him because I love my sister and my nephews and it would break her heart if she knew I despised him. Personlly, I think he is a lazy, self-centered jacka$$, but I'm not the one who has to live with him and he apparently makes her happy, so who am I to judge?

Answer 8

Hi there sniffadog, My next door neighbour can be a pain in the as*. He is a chatterbox who is incredibly boring, and sometimes he drinks too much alcohol. I will avoid him if I can. But he is not noisy, and keeps himself to himself most of the time. I tolerate him so that there is no bad feeling; plus I feel sympathetic towards the fact that he is on his own, and has no real friends.

Answer 9

The people I don't like know that I don't like them. However, I will always be civil for the sake of the mutual friend. I try not to let other people take away my class. However, I will put someone in the pavement if they come at me.

Answer 10

My ex

I am at uni and I have accepted that I'm going to carry on seeing her around all the time, and my friends still talk to her. So it means I can't embrace my hatred toward her (what she did to me was horrific!) and have to pretend to like her just so things aren't incredibly awkward all year!

Answer 11

yes, a female co-worker...we had it all but now we have to be polite and professional (we're pros but like to let it all hang out and not censor ourselves) because she works with us and she's a pill...we're all looking to work elsewhere

looks like i'm not alone

Answer 12

Yeah.  My boss.

Duh!  Paycheck!

Answer 13

No, not really.

If I don't like someone, they'll usually know it.  I don't play pretenses.

Answer 14

Yes, there is this "victim" (She always thinks she's the victim of everything) at work who brings all her drama to work with her. She faked an injury just to get attention and wastes people's time, stopping them to talk about her personal problems. I'm friendly to her because she's a loser and I feel sorry for her.

Answer 15

yes everyone i work with.

Answer 16

Mom-  she is a diagnosed sociopath and is hard to deal with most of the time

Answer 17

Hi Sniffadog,how's life treating you?

There's a friend of my sister's who gets me on the phone and won't stop "rabbiting".

So I have a little device that makes a sound like our front-door bell!

I press the button.Say "Must go now!" and hang up.

Answer 18

We all do and often we discover that in reality we do like them in spite of them giving us a pain in the upper reaches of the left hand side of the backs---
