How do you cope with living with someone you don't like?

this sounds like a crappy situation what make u not like him.........???

 

i remember a few years back, me and my mom used to clash all the time, and neither of us would ever back down, so it was always tense, and i used to cope by just staying out of her way as much as possible. since if you cant move out, and have to live with someone, you have little choice but to try and just stay out of their way. not ideal by any means, but better than been in each others company when you cant stand the person.

 

hmm... well id do as lexie says, it may not be ideal but if he's that unbearable then what choice do u have other than sinking to his level to annoy him which is not a good idea btw. if it helps at all just remember it could be worse, i was in a similar situation except my enemy was inside my own head, i couldnt even get out his way when i wanted.

 

I know how you feel. I feel the same way about my mother. She's the most negative, crazy (in a bad way) person I've ever met. To top it all off, she's becoming senile.

So yeah, I feel for you. Haven't found anything that works to fight off the bitterness and anger I feel whenever I'm around her yet.

 

Bitterness and anger are two crazy things. They just feed off each other and eventually end up destroying us. I'm struggling with bitterness and anger too, but I know it's wrong. Of course, this is where I end up turning to God (but then again, I know that this is not a desirable option for quite many people here...).

So I'd say that you should just maybe write a letter to him or something. Tell him about the problems you're feeling. Make it heartfelt. Put it in his bag or something. Or maybe on his desk. Ask him to reply you. I think that you both need to know how the other is feeling. Does he know that you feel that way about him? Do you know what he feels about you? I think the answers will shock the both of you when you both find out...

Just give it a try. See how it works out. =)

 

maybe u need to show him ur not like him.

or.. try to just(iknow this sounds hard) but get to know him and understand him

orrrrr, u can just ignore him much, like. It can;t be that hard.
btw, how old is he?

sorry to hear about ur situation anyhow hun(*hug*)

 

You need to stop focusing on the things you don't like about your step-brother and start thinking of ways you do like him. Surely he has at least one quality that you like. If you notice he's doing something or behaving in a way that meshes with you, then say something nice. You might find that your relationship improves.

 

Maybe if you notice those nice things more, you'll see less of the "being a jerK" things.
