I realized. It’s tough to try to love someone that you know doesn’t like you in the first place. And it doesn’t help when that person, does all kinds of funny things all the time to make you not like them even more. And I am also reminded that on this earth, not everyone will like you the way you want them to.

And so, what can we do about that? Ignoring is an option. But it doesn’t make things better. Confrontational approach is another option. But it takes guts and maturity for the other party to accept and change.

What if in this case. The other person has been that way all the while since birth because the different background and environment allows for that kind of behavior? Sad to say, that particular behavior is hard to be tolerated by others especially when staying with others besides those from the original environment.

Many hidden feelings which has been put aside and ignored for the past years, in order to maintain peace, is now resurfacing one by one, Triggered by different scenarios, different people, and different surroundings. Sometimes we can be numbed by things that we choose to ignore, to reach the extend where it becomes part of the norm. but when new people enters, or when new things or event surfaces, the norm which we slowly got used to, no longer stays as the norm. The original problem shows itself to be more major than what it was years back.
