How to Get Along with Others


This article is from one of my favorite sites, lifehacker.com.  This article focuses on getting along with co-workers that you don’t like.

Do you have any other advice for getting along with people you don’t like?

  1. It's an extremely great article. At first sight of the topic, I thought it’s about how to change the people who I dislike, or about the way to bear them. However, it’s quite different from what I originally thought. The author offers a way that I’ve never thought of, self-introspection! To introspect about when you will act like the one you dislike. Try to put yourself in their shoes, then you will understand why do they do that. Then, perhaps, you might start to like them. I think I will try that way from now on! I believe I will like more people and be liked by more people.

  2. I think this article covers it pretty well. This article advises us to use a compassionate heart to look at those people we don't get along with. Albeit I agree that's the best way to get rid of negative feelings, it's hard for me. But that's something I will work on. Randy Lin

  3. My advice to get along with people that you may not like is do not consider what’s bothers you about that person. Do not think in his/her defects, do not ask to you “Why is he/she so weird?” or “Why is he/she acts that way?” These questions will make you wonder more and more about them and this will create an opinion about them that may not be true. So, my advice is just IGNORE what you hate about them or what they do wrong. Instead of hating them, help them. As the article says, we hate things about the others because we see us with the defects that we do not like about us. So, what we do.. Ignore are defects and live without frustration.

  4. Interesting article. I try to find this person's attractive characters when I have to work someone I don't like. More I see the good parts of the person, I ignore his or her characters which were bugging me. Sometimes this method helps, sometimes doesn't. So when I'm really frustrated, I take a deep breath and I say myself "Nobody is perfect. Everyone and everything has black and white sides. One day the black side can be white, other day white side can be black" and after that I relaxed, most of the time it works.

  5. This is a good article to tell us how to get well with someone you dislike and what is the benefit you can get from this person.The article said dealing with the unhappy co-worker relation ship can help you understand yourself better, I agree with this opinion,a lot of people do not know about themselves,which cause many problems when they go to a new environment;however,it is really hard for people to solve the tough relation ship using this way.Before,I try to like someone or something I do not like if I have to face them.I found it was a little useful for me. It was not worthy because the time I was unhappy is more than the time i was happy.But it is the only way if you have to face them everyday.

  6. This article discussed the skills that how to get along with your co-worker you do not like. Just to transact the co-worker's weaknesses are yours. How you deal with yourself.So the author talk about being compassionate with yourself is the most important to get well with others. I agree with this opinion. Everybody has good and bad sides. We could not change others, but we can change ourselves.To know yourself from the person you dislike, and change yourself to be more perfect.But if you really hard to do this or you feel it is not worthy,you can try to change the environment because
    happiness is more important than anything else.

  7. This article said that If you have a person who you don’t like him or her, what should you do. It gave some tips, which is “Grin and bear it, be alternative, and overcome your dislike yourself.” I think the last one is right for everyone. We need to know a fact that everyone can’t like me, and I can’t like him or her, too. Maybe, someone hates me or I have some person who I really hate. This is life. However, we meet a lot of people in school, company, or any other places. This is common happening to us. We should overcome or return yourself.

  9. There are many advices to keep a good relationship with people, what it works better for me is be confidence with the people I consider my friends, but with the other ones be polite and at least make them a "small talk".

  10. This article is interesting for me because I could remember a last experience related to this topic. According to my experience, my biggest learning was, it is important to talk to the person who we don't like. I know this is so difficult, but this action can bring us positive results. Only we would be brave and talk in the right moment.

  12. I really like the article and I learn a lot from it. I started working since I was 16 years old so at that time when you are a teenager almost everything bothers you so I had to learn how to get along with people that I didn’t like. I began trying to make it Sims like nothing happen and continue with what I was doing but it was not working, so I decided to spend more time with this person and my goal was to find something good in that person, so I had a reason to be with him and after a couple months a finally got along with him, even dough we are not the best friend we still talk some times.

  13. I worked during three years with several people I didn’t like, and I know how difficult and hard it is. But sometimes we find coworkers who we don’t like, and it’s necessary to have patience and understand how complex is the human behavior. A great advice is doing a personal introspection, asking us some questions about our own way of work.

  14. When I am working, I don't usually take time to observe people's behaviors. Sometimes, they act a little bit weird, I always try to get alone with them. The only thing I know is that I am not perfect as well as any other people. We all have our imperfection, some may exaggerate but if we support one another we can be a perfect team. A friendly environment is what any person needs to work effectively.

  15. It was so difficult when I worked with someone I didn’t like. Some people are not fun to be with because they might be grumpy, angry, and unhappy. When they’re grumpy, angry, sad, or unhappy, they make me unhappy as well. How should I do when I get some these problems? Should I quite the job or tell to boss that I don’t want to work with them? I did it before. But it is not good advice. First, we should get to know them better. They might have problems we can fix. Also, we have to remember that we have had nice people make us feel better, sometimes we have to be the nice person. Next, try to see them in a different light. Just try to see what they’re like other times. They may be nicer then. And then, don’t judge them. Sometimes we are grumpy, sad, angry or unhappy, so we have to understand that they might have problems. Just ask them why they are unhappy. Lastly, just be nice to them, once we understand them better. But if they are just mean people, leave them quickly. You don’t need to stress out because of them.

  16. Great article. Basically it describes very well the best way to get alone with coworkers that have areas of their personality that matches our own and that we don't like abut our self. Also it teaches you to put yourself in the other person's shoes. I will add the advice we found in the Bible about " preying for our enemies" so our feelings for them will change in a positive way.
