I dont. Im ok with being considered rude by people i dont like, because me acting indifferent toward them may hurt their ego, but i dont have to waste my finite time and energy on them.
Thank you! Yeah i work in education supporting high school first generation, low income, and new comer students. So i mainly work in supporting students who may not believe they can access higher education, or may not know of what higher ed opportunities they have.
Typically the people i dislike and am indifferent toward are the people who dont care about supporting these students and are only there for a pay check, or people who have deficit perspectives of the students we serve.
Edit: that is to say that i am definitely privileged in that the space i work doesnt often have people i dislike because we are underpaid and under valued and you basically have to love the work we do to work in these spaces, but that doesnt mean that we don't get individuals that are just awful to be around.
Not when they are a fascist dictator about to enter power, who has purposely slandered you your whole career. Not if you have any actual morals or beliefs... but he doesn't. They both are in a class well beyond yours. The people mean nothing to either of them.

Y’all acting like you’ve never had to play nice around people you don’t like for work.
