Extending Respect
Everyone wants to be respected, including the person you really don’t like.
So, regardless of your history with that person, separate ‘don’t like’ from ‘respect.’ Try and find something to admire in that person and keep it in mind during your interactions with them. Communicate thoughtfully and extend respect consistently, and watch the effect it has on you and on the relationship.
