Are you civil to people you dislike?

Depends on the cause of the aversion. If i think somebody is selfish, vain, untrustworthy, or we just have incompatible personalities i can usually bite my tongue and appear cordial. Maybe i'm a bit passive, but i don't like to rock the boat, i don't like to show my dislike just for the sake of them knowing i do not like them. However, if the nature of the dislike is beyond a minor personality clash and i feel i've been wronged greatly enough i will make sure you know we aren't cool.

You never know when they might be able to help you with something down tue road

Yes. So the back stab really burns! heheheh.

Yes.

Fuck that, set their house on fire and eat their children.

Kill them with kindness.
But know when to stand your ground.

It really depends ! If this person provoke me or hurt my friends for no apparent reason i won't act civil with them. And it will takes months before i forget about them.On the other hand, if it just happens that i meet somebody i simply don't like or find annoying/mean i will probably bite my tongue. People sometimes don't act like this on purpose.

I am civil, yes.
I pick my battles.

Yes. I am civil to them, for the sake of accepting they are simply different.

I quickly dislike people if they are narrow-minded, plain idiotic, political imbeciles, you name it.

Just accepting that i will _NOT_ have a nice time with them, being civil to them and trying to have as little "contact" as possible saves a lot of nerves and time spend pointlessly arguing.

In other words are you a pussy.

It totally depends. Is it a peron I have to see all the time? Or someone who I use for something? Or someone who I HAVE to deal with (parents (sometimes), and such)...? If it's just some dumbass who I don't give a shit about or deal with a lot, then they can go piss up a rope. Especially if they like me but the feeling's not mutual. Or if I can tell they're trying to use me.

It depends on the reason for me disliking them.
Ex: I'm not going to be an ass to someone who's just an annoyance to me.

In a way.

Yes. I have to admit though, that it is not easy for me to control myself when approached by the people I dislike or vice-versa. One of the people I dislike most is my Stepfather. He gave me and my family the impression that we were going to have a new life together but later on it just blows up in our faces. We find out that he's an obsessed gambler and shortly after that his attitude towards me started changing. He became bitter, verbally abusive and neglected me.

It's really difficult to look at someone like this in the face with sincerity especially when they take advantage of your innocence and love. Despite my feelings, I have to realize that I'm a grown adult man and that I'm more mature then allowing my negative feelings to influence my behavior badly towards this person.

I try to be.

I would like a third option, sometimes. It helps to be 'street smart' and to know when to draw the line of civility.

I try to be, although at first when they do something make me mad I tend to open my mouth a bit too much until I realise I'm being retarded and I'm only fueling the fire
