How to live with someone you can't stand
So I live in a group home and with 7 other teenagers. Most of them are all right but one of the girls here just uses me then pretty much screws me over. She’s called me names and told me I’m fat and nothing has ever been done about it. I really can’t stand this girl and have to live with her for another year, what do I do?
People often bully others just to get a reaction out of them. Take that reaction away, and they’re practically powerless.
It just goes to show how much higher up you are than her by not having to resort to calling other people names to make you feel better.
Well maybe this would help a little if we knew where you were living and under what circumstances? Is there a specific reason you are there with a group of others?
Talk to the head household about it. Maybe he/she can do something about it.
Since you’re stuck with her for a year, then you’re going to have to learn to shine her on like last years news.
One of my fave things to say to people who decide that flinging insults, calling names, and generally try to make people around them miserable is “Sorry you feel that way”…and leave the ball in their court. There is very little to say in retort.
“You’re fat”…”Sorry you feel that way” “you’re ugly”…”Sorry you feel that way” “Yo mama wears army boots”…”Sorry you see it that way”
…and it’ll keep you out of trouble too, by responding very passively, yet she’s standing there with the proverbial ball in her court.
p
If your stuck with her for a long time,do your very best to deal with her and the problems she gives you. If she insults you,make it look like your listening BUT let it slip out the other ear and move on with your day. Don’t let her insults get to you,I know how you feel but you have no choice but to deal with it until your out of that home.
Identify what you can’t stand about him or her. Then talk to him or her in a diplomatic way about it. If this fails, the best is just try to be patient or perhaps just find a new place to stay.
