Is it difficult for you to be friendly to people you don't care for? Do you consider it good manners or being fake?

I'm not naturally a very friendly person, but I can do it if the person is nice to me. If we don't get along, on the other hand..I won't fake it!

I don't go out of my way to be friendly, just civil. I can be civil to people I don't like because I was raised to be polite to people, regardless of how I feel about them. I will probably be thinking about how much I dislike that person while being nice, but that's that.

If I'm being rude to someone, you can be damn sure that there's a really good reason for it.

In general I am polite, but I don't fake that I like someone typically.

I consider myself a very polite person, but I also speak the truth. I can't be fake, it's just not in me.

It can be tough sometimes but I try my very best to treat others as I would like to be treated. Actually I find it easier to be "nice" to someone I've had a conflict with - having seen them for who they are makes it easier. My boundaries are more defined with them.

Despite all the hateful stares and laughs thrown my way, I try to maintain a good attitude and be polite as possible.

I'm not real great at hiding my emotions when I don't like someone....

I am friendly to a lot of jerks, I work in customer service!

It's easy for me to be nice even to people I'm not fond of. Sometimes I'm especially nice to those I'm not fond of. Kill them with kindness.

I am always friendly to everyone. Sometimes it si nice to brighten someone elses day!!

I'm almost always friendly. I work hard to not be fake friendly. You can be honest with someone without being rude and still have good manners.

I hate drama and conflict, so I try to be friendly with everyone no matter how I feel about them. I don't usually consider it being fake, I just try to be civil to people to avoid the drama and conflict.

If I really dislike someone, but they are part of my group of friends I hang out with, I will try to be polite. It's usually hard, but it's better to be nice and not make things difficult or awkward for everyone else in the group.

I try my best, but I don't always succeed. As far as whether or not it's fake, well that depends. There are situations and places where being rude to someone you dislike isn't appropriate, like work. It's not fake if you're being polite and just doing whats necessary to make your life easier.

It's in my nature to despise/fear most people. I worked retail for over a decade, and while this has fueled my hatred, it's also given me insight into how it feels to be treated like shit, so I go out of my way to be friendly and polite to most people... unless they're being douchebags.
Like the dude today at the mall who loudly used a racial slur in the crowded food court.. I totally went into my high school bully mindset (yeah, I was kind of a bully, unfortunately, but as a defense mechanism) but he deserved it.

I try to always be nice, even if I dont like the person.

I feel that i'm very friendly, even if i dont particularly care for the party i am associating with, as i like to go by that "golden rule" of treat others how you would like to be treated (with respect and decency). But if a person starts to get snarky or rude, i will usually just leave/ignore them, until they address me in a better manner.

I try my best to be friendly, unless the person's a real a@@hole!

My girlfriend had this friend who I hated but I did my best to be nice to her for my girlfriends sake. She often had to remind me to be nice though. It is tough.

I try and be friendly to everyone, but sometimes I get a little bit... snippy if the person is really grinding my gears!
04/17/2013
I'm can turn on the friendliness like a light switch, whether I know the person or not. That said, I prefer not to be overly friendly with people I don't know (although I'll still be polite and thankful, especially with people in service jobs). Actual friendship is something that has to be earned.

I try my best to be friendly but it doesn't always work.

I was raised to be friendly to everyone, regardless of personal feelings. It comes natural to me now.
04/17/2013
I try really hard to be friendly to everyone. I don't think its fake just good manners.
