How to be more friendly

[beans28]

I pick my battles.

You need to learn to do so, too.

Yeh that is definitely an important. In my situation, we had a falling out and since then we are civil but it is obvious on both sides that we dont care for eachother. Apparently, I have made my self out to be some raging bitch on this forum lol. When I say it is hard for me to cover it up ( my dislike), its not like I am friendly to one friend and then he comes around and I'm nasty. I mean that its hard to be genuine... ex. you can tell when someone is happy you stopped by unexpectedly and when they aren't but dont want to make you feel bad.

Sounds to me like you genuinely don't like him. I assume you have reason. Polite is all anyone would expect in this situation, esp if he's coming around to *your* home. Shrug.

Your right - I dont but he could win me over if he would admit what he did wrong and apologize. At one time, we were cool and I really enjoyed his company. He definitely disrespected me in my home...and has never apologized to me about it or the other things that have happened. If I fully explained the problem, I think everyone would understand me better but its just too much and I think I would get all bothered over and I am not trying to get myself worked up.

You're not obligated to like everyone you meet in this world, hun. Civilization does demand, however, that you are polite to most of them.

Do what I said. Its not fake, its in absolute keeping with your feelings. Boundaries for acquaintances are like fences for neighbours: they make for good ones.
