Do you tend to get along with most people (or not)?

Not speaking of friendship necessarily, but just general vibes/feelings about others and surface interactions (with strangers, co-workers, friends of friends, family members you're not so close with, etc.). Do you think you are patient and easy to talk to and get along with? Or do you find yourself often at odds with others?

I'm trying not to be the type of person that finds people in general exhausting/annoying. 😑

I do try to get along with others. And mostly do. Yet I can't say I have any good friends in real life despite my trying to get along with others.

Problem is everything is dependent on looks. Which I find a distasteful in a friendship. If you judge by looks, which most do, then you really are no friend of mine.

It's this type of judgement of looks that makes others not want to get a long with me. They expect others to be like them or by what they consider to be good looks.

"He looks good therefore he must be nice."

That attitude gets more people into trouble than anything else.

Because the best liers and the worst people always look good. Not saying there are no good people that look good. Just that the worst generally do look good. And expect others to look good as well.

How can any get along with such type of people? It blows my mind. 😞

I've known smelly, dirty, ragged homeless people that are better at getting along. They have more at stake.

Next time you see any politician that looks really good. That's a total sigh to avoid them. Likely they are vain and arrogant. That combination of politics and good looks are the worst of the worst. They spend more time preening themselves then doing anything good.

As a closer of just how much I try to get along... I have yet to block or mute anyone on here since I started in 2016. That's how much I try to get along.
I'm exceptionally difficult to get along with. The number of people i can stand is vanishingly small and reducing regularly.

I do get along with others easily, there's not been a single person who wanted to do harm to me/insult me (in real life, that is). I do find some people annoying but I'm just typical with them, I never fight. I prefer to keep my anger/frustration to myself than load it on others even if they deserve it. That's worked in my favour so far.

Yeah I have with work all the time, I think I’m really easy to talk to, I deal with many who are anxious, I’m really patient, try to make them feel relaxed, always stay professional, I have many tell me I keep them calm.
But I think you have to be a certain way to do my job. I see many suppliers who shouldn’t be doing it, stress heads.

depends really. A lot of the time I just like being left alone. I am not a big people person and normally dont interact with people I do not know but if someone comes up to me and tries starting a convo and is friendly and has good vibes, I will be friendly back.
I am not much of a talker in person

I think people generally find me somewhere on a spectrum from "nice" to "inoffensive" :D
As for me I find most people at least mildly interesting :)

I feel like I'm easy to stay neutral with. Hard to get close to me though, and I don't get pissed off easily. I don't find people annoying but I need time to myself.

@DDonde That's more or less how I am. I know that I am ultimately an introvert. That doesn't mean I don't want to be around others at all, but I don't want to be around others as much as my more outgoing, extroverted friends do. But I find that I often don't feel the same strong dislike for people that my friends consider annoying/off-putting. I don't like disliking people, so it's a last resort. 🤷‍♂️

I'm low profile, have to get to know them.
Generally, yes. But unlike here, I’m not that talkative.
