When it comes to Being disliked by others it can be a very painful experience, but it’s also a part of life, we all leave in, that everyone has to figure out how to deal with. By Learning how to defend yourself from being harmed by these people, on how to correct misunderstandings, and how to keep things from getting out of control will give you a leg up in life. The experience doesn’t have to turn sour if you know how to handle yourself in these unpleasant situations. Then, here are ways, on How to Deal With People who Don’t Like You now, let’s begin.
#1. | Deciding if you should care or not And Try, to Take a deep, look at yourself.
Not every person, who crosses your path is someone you should seek out as a best friend. For example, If a coworker or someone you aren’t invested in dislikes you, it may not be pleasant, however, you can decide if it’s worth it to try to build the necessary bridges and win them over. And also Not, everyone is worth your effort, especially if they are really difficult and you lose nothing by avoiding them.
Did you make a mistake that cause him or her to dislike you? Or Does the person have a legitimate reason to dislike you about something or your behavior? In that way, It might be worth it to apologize and try to set the record straight about your behaviors if you think they might be justified if that is not the case of someone liking something you did or are doing.
Then, Admitting a mistake is different from beating yourself up about it. Remember that, Everyone makes mistakes. It’s important to forgive yourself, even if the other person doesn’t.
#2. | Disengage from that, person.
Do not be afraid of saying goodbye to someone if he or her or, the person is actively trying to hurt you or your feelings really bad. Then It’s okay to prioritize yourself in these situations and remove yourself from the crosshair. Sometimes people rub each other the wrong way or in the wrong light, and there’s nothing to be done but avoid each other, especially if the situation is really getting out of control for you and you are getting really hurt.
It can be very tempting sometimes to stay and fight, but disengaging is its own form of power. You are standing up for yourself and telling the person that you refuse to be bullied.
Disengaging might be avoiding them when it’s acceptable to do so, like for example, if you’re coworkers but you aren’t collaborating on anything. It might also be removing the person from your social media feeds so that you aren’t tempted to interact with them.
#3. | Let go of the need for approval from others.
How important is it that this person really likes you? Or Are there other people who really likes you? Like your Friends and family? Then in this case Avoid worrying about one person who has a big problem with you, which could be about their own issues about you rather than anything to do with you.
In that case Some people will dislike you because they envy you. Don’t let people bring you down because of your successes.
#4. | Focusing on the positive things that will make you more happier.
If you don’t feel good, or you are feeling down about someone, disliking you really, bad then, do something to help yourself feel good as a better person. For example, If you love working out, you can go to the gym to get your mind off of things. Or If you have friends that really appreciate you, then spend your time with them to remind yourself of your self-worth. This doesn’t have to bother you if you don’t let it.
If you know why the person dislikes you, then, try asking yourself if it’s really important that they like you. Does it really matter or what they think? Do they dislike a lot of people? You may not be “special” in that case.
You can also try reframing the criticism to make it positive. If someone says you’re always late or always asking people for favors, try to think of ways you could improve in those areas. Alternatively, if you think the person is wrong, try to think of all the times you’re not late and the times you do favors for other people.
#5. | Ask others questions if they dislike you.
If the relationship is one thing that you want or need to improve on, then start by asking the person why he or she doesn’t like you anymore. There could be a huge misunderstanding behind everything, and you could receive valuable information about how the person perceives you (which isn’t necessarily about, how you actually are in person).
For example, Try asking in a way that isn’t confrontational. Instead of saying “what’s your problem?” you can say “did I do something to make you dislike me?”
#6. | Try your best to Avoid getting to defensive to others.
It’s natural for you, in other to want to fight fire with fire, but if someone is expressing they frustration, with something and then you are doing, it to, then that can be helpful, to take a pause, and do your best to respond to the situation very calmly, rather than making things worse by charging into battle with more, anger.
It is best for you to always try to Avoid snapping at them or returning the criticism. You can probably think of things that you dislike about them as well, but being mean to them won’t resolve the situation. Criticizing the person will only cause the conflict to get more worse or more intense.
Practice deep breathing while they are talking to keep yourself from getting upset and firing back.
It’s okay to take a temporary time out and come back to the person once you have cooled off, as well.
#7. | Hearing what he or she says to you, and take a break from being around others.
When you talk to them about what they dislike, about you, try to let them finish their thoughts before, you jump in. You may not like what they are saying, to you, but if you want to repair or fix the relationship, you will need to know what you are dealing with, and you will gain their respect if you respect them enough to listen before you respond to them. It might even go as far as You may also even gain some valuable constructive criticism in the process.
For example, You can say to them “I understand that there’s something about me you don’t like. I’m genuinely interested to hear what that is and see if we can move past this issue together.”
Sometimes people will get on each other’s nerves about something, because they are spending too much time around each other, for example, coworkers or friends of friends. If you are working with the same person all the time, then do your best to limit contact for a while. And, If you spend a lot of the time around the same people, then try at list to see other friends or catch these friends while the other person isn’t around. Time apart can help people reset, and they may like you more when they see you again.
#8. | Communicate your feelings with the person that dislike you.
One of a good way to correct others that is misunderstanding you is to let the other person know how you really feel about it. Also Try to do this in a respectful and emotionally and neutral way. By Clearing the air may be just what the situation needs to get the person on your side, back rather than stewing in their dislike of you.
By Using “I statements” is a good way to communicate with that person, without making the person feel like they are being attacked for something. You can say like, “I feel hurt that you don’t like me and I’d like to know what I can do to make things better between us.”
#9. | Explain yourself to people that matter to you.
Sometimes someone that dislikes you will do, or they may even go as far as gossiping about you to mutual friends or they may even try to hurt you in so many other ways. If you do not feel good about this, it is best to fix, the problems, that is bordering you for example, If it’s a coworker, sit down with your boss and explain that you are having a disagreement with the person, so your boss will be on the lookout for attempts to sabotage your standing at the job. If it’s a mutual friend, explain your position and try to get them to see your side of things. Avoid bad-mouthing the person!
#10. | Avoid giving the person more advantage over you.
someone that will, dislikes you, may even try to find out your secrets or weakness in order to hurt you. Be sure to be very careful what you say to someone who realy dislikes you. And Avoid gossiping about other people around them, because they might use that information against you in every way. Also try to Protect yourself, by keeping your cards close to your chest and not allowing them to use anything you say to hurt you.

Or If the person who dislikes you is a former friend you use to love, they may already know a lot that could hurt you. If you think they are going to share something that could make you look bad, you can always share the information first, if you would rather have control of how it comes out.

You can do it for you, rather than for them, although you never know how it might affect their opinion of you in a positive way about you.
When ever you feel like the person is causing you to doubt yourself really bad, then ask your friends what they think about the situation if they know the person. Getting a second opinion, especially from people you trust as much as, they can help to prevent you from taking the perspective of the other person instead of you being really hard on yourself. On the other hand Being disliked can make you wonder if they are right about you, so it’s important to be aware of how it’s affecting you. Don’t let your mental health suffer from it in a bad way.
