People I don't like.

I don't like some people. They get on my nerves. I don't know how they do it, but within mere minutes of being around them, I just want to strangle them.

How do I handle this? I avoid them. I try to hang out with them as little as possible and minimize the amount of interaction we have when I must be around them.

Is that healthy? Maybe. Maybe not.

Should I be so opposed to being around them? No. As a Christian, I should try my best to imitate Christ and a large part of that is love. "Love your neighbor as yourself." I love myself. I'm going to post about that soon. But I don't love my neighbors anywhere near as much.

But, here's my real dilemma: I don't feel like I can change how I feel about them. So, is it better to avoid them or not avoid them and then have them see me as a very poor representation of Christ?
