How do you treat/act around people you hate/dislike/lost respect to?

What is your default setting when around people? If it is kind, then how different are you when in the company of someone who lost your respect?

Like I'm not deliberately rude...but I'm not deliberately kind either. I stopped hiding what I'm feeling so I guess my feelings were all in full display.

It's like I was on a gray neutral setting. And the real worrying thing is I find I'm not feeling guilty because I didn't really do things with the intent of being mean. I just wasn't my normal kind and welcoming self. And it made the person feel uncomfortable.

And thinking about it, I find I'd rather she's uncomfortable. I'm not really sure if I like who I am at the moment.

It isn't even about what she did. She knows what she did.

But I find myself thinking about what I did. Because her actions are hers to care about. How cruel and insensitive she was in our time of grief.

But me changing because her actions affected me...I'm not sure what to think.

by default when meeting someone i try to mirror how they treat me. if their smiley and polite then so am i.

i try to disassociate with those i lose any respect for. usually that's enough and any interaction tends to gradually stop unless it's something severe and i need to tell them to leave me alone. if anyone asks me my opinion of them i am honest and if i don't like them i'll tell them.
The reason for disliking them must be legitimately deserving of my acting cold towards them.

How cruel and insensitive she was in our time of grief.

That certainly merits such a response. Don't feel bad about your attitude towards her, she deserves it. She should learn how to behave properly and respectfully around others, if not...then she should suffer the consequences of her own actions.

I act indifferent. Stop smiling at them and keep a neutral face. Don't say hi to them but answer if they say hi to me. Do not make eye contact with them and keep conversations short but gentle.

If I have to work with them they will never know how I feel towards them until we are out of work when I can ghost them without getting reported.
