Do I have to continue being friends with someone I don't like?

[Anonymous]

I met a girl in college, we met on the first day of school, it's been about a month, we sit next to each other, but I started to dislike her, she's not a trustworthy person, all she talks about is men, her ex, smoking, religion or gossiping. I don't like people who say bad things behind people's backs. I don't know what to do

[ohsheeT]

No you don't have to be
And I think it's cool that you read people pretty well because anybody that doesn't really have a life would bring other people into it by drama or gossiping

Life is just 10 times easier 10 times funner when there's people not around to have to talk crap about other people they're trying to bring you down they're trying to get you to be like them and that's just no good as far as I'm concerned I'm sure you know that person might be a good person but for me now I would not hang with them at all

As for a friendship it’s a wonderful thing & as for a friendship it’s something that is earned over time & unfortunately a friendship is something that could be easily lost as well. As for the girl who sits next to you she doesn’t have to be your friend & she doesn’t have to be your enemy too. She can be your classmate & nothing more.

But i don't want to sit with her anymore

[Asker]

I feel tense and bad around her because of her ridiculous behavior, she comes with me everywhere as if he is glued to me like sticked to me, she even waits for me after school (I don't think she cares , she does this to avoid being alone). I don't know, I don't like her, i don't trust her since she just talks badly behinds people back

Being open & honest is the way to go & if you don’t like someone don’t be afraid to tell them & as for your classmate say the following. Please don’t sit next to me I don’t like you & don’t trust you.

No, and like I usually say, she's probably gossiping about you to others if she's talking bad about other people. Distancing yourself is best; don't feel horrible. Your mental and emotional well-being is important; even though I know we may be hard on ourselves, we must distance ourselves.

[Asker]

I completely agree with what you said, I'm sure she's talking about me too, I've been sitting next to her for a month and it makes me feel nervous, our teacher made us sit in groups of 4, I'm bored of sitting with this girl, would it be a problem if I moved to a group with others?

[RageBabe]

No, sweetheart, that should not be an issue; but, please speak with your teacher and let her know how this girl is making you feel so that you do not go into trouble for moving without first consulting your teacher. Good luck.

Are you in assigned seating? If not, start by sitting somewhere else. If you can't sit somewhere else, or you do but she asks you why, tell her the truth that you just aren't interested in the things she is interested in talking about.

Here's what I try and do... What warms my heart and makes me smile I surround myself with. The things that are dark and negative are not allowed in my circle regardless. Your happiness is in your control and never worry about hurting someone to make yourself happy. In positive ways I mean

[PeachyPie93]

Nah that is one thing that is totally in your control. If you don't like her just start avoiding her and move to different seating..

There is no reason to continue being friends with someone you dislike. Just gradually drift away from her I'd suggest.

[AviatorTom]

No, just ignore her. She'll even eventually get the idea.

[Asker]

Can i sit with SOMEONE else

[AviatorTom]

Of course.

[slatyb]

Of course you don't. If she makes an invitation, just decline.

[ProbablyClueless]

No? You don't have to keep the company of someone you don't like.

[noohair]

Be civil but less friendly. Don't respond to what she says and see it that works. If not, let me know and we can dial up the heat slowly. Good Luck.

[spartan55]

Men, smoking AND religion? Girl is trouble.
