Is there anyone in your life that you’re only pretending to like? Why?

15 comments

1. Some coworkers. Easier than avoiding them or being fired for telling them off.

2. Besides you?

3. There has been, but I stopped pretending as it was as bad for me as it was for them. I spend time with people I like and nobody else gets my free time.

   I was quite the people pleaser though, so there has been years and years of my life where I pretended to like people so they would like me. I stopped caring though.

4. No and no. If I like someone.. Then I talk to them and acknowledge them.

   If I dislike someone…. Silent treatment and ghosting

5. Some coworkers/supervisors just so I can keep my job and keep drama at a minimum. Some family members like my mom’s sister. They love each other dearly so I get along for my mom’s sake, but I can’t STAND that woman personally.

6. I’m pretending to be a person quite a lot of the time.

7. yes. myself.

8. Everyone. Because I want to harvest the benefits of living in society…

9. Supervisor, his boss, *his* boss.

10. my parents

11. Most of my coworkers. I don’t dislike them, I just wouldn’t care if they all disappeared

12. Father.

    I like squeezing money out of him. Only thing he’s ever given me in my life and he’s still stingy about it.

13. If I strongly dislike someone, I lack the poker face to truly mask it. I do my best to be civil but I sure don’t feign friendship.

14. My brother.

15. Stepdad. Can’t stand the dude as a person. But he’s cordial and doesn’t mistreat my mother so I’m nice in return.
