My friends sister...and mom are just like that. They're completely fake when they talk to me, and it's really obvious, but I can't exactly show them that I dislike them when they're not actually doing anything to give me reason to do this...so I just answer their stupid small talk questions that they really could care less about.
I do it all the time, because I'm a wuss. Honestly, I find it easier to pretend to like people. I mean, if I'm going to have to be around them anyway - like my one friend's boyfriend - if I just tell him I don't like him then it'll be weird every time we're all out in a group, PLUS he'll say things like "WHY don't you like me?" and "You'd like me if you'd just realize [x] and [y] about me" and all this bullshit like that, and the last thing I want to do is talk to him more. It's way easier to just be civil to him and try to arrange not to sit next to him.
No I do not pretend to like anyone. I also can't stand when people pretend to like me when I know they don't.
I try to be cordial. But no. Not at all. I'd prefer to be a dick then to let someone I genuinely disliked feel otherwise.
There is. I don't pretend anything. If I don't like someone, I might not come right out and say it, but I will not play games. I am pretty straightforward in my dealings.
My problem isn't not liking people. It's leechers are attracted to me for some reason. They'll buy me beers and chew my ear off, etc. I'm only recently learning how to say "no" and simply not responding when someone becomes a nuisance in conversation. But without being defensive or rude.
I've never pretended to like someone...but I do have pretend relationships when I want a guy to leave me alone.
i pretend to like everyone. or try to. but i really like being by myself and creating and exploring more then i like being with anyone who isn't interestingly creative and focused on the NONmundane. i try not to get to know most people too well because only in that way can i avoid discouvering things about them that would really bother me alot if i knew. =^^= .../\...
I just recently found out that someone who I thought was really a good friend of mine actually hated me and just pretended to be my friend so I would confide in her so she could go and make fun of me to other people, which the other people told me, and she thought she was really cool when she was telling these people all my personal things that I shared with her. Now, I am not mad I really feel sorry for her for the fact that she must lead a very sad and lonely life... This is why I do not confide in people very much, humans always let me down...
I'm polite to people I would not hang out with if I had my choice. But I don't actively do anything to them. Sometimes it's family or friends of friends.
That's horrible that something so 7th grade would happen to you at this age...I think we should tell the boys that she stuffs her bra...
