Maybe you've heard this argument before. I've heard it a few times, and while I get it, I can't say that I really agree.
So, the argument I've heard is that if you dislike someone, you should tell them. You should not be "fake" and speak to them. Basically, you should be rude and pretend they're not even alive, even if the object of your disdain is in the same room as you. Why be phony?
Well, I get it, but I don't agree. I don't think being civil and kind to people is phony. That's just being a nice person. Right? We have to interact with all sorts of people in life. Some we'll click with; some we won't. However, we should try to get along with them all. It won't always work, but being a jerk is rarely the solution to any problem.
Do you agree? What do you think? Is it best to avoid and ignore people you can't really get along with, or is it better to be decent, but distant? Is there another option?
