How Do I Not Let this Person Get Under My Skin?
I went on a date with a guy that turned out to be pompous, condescending,
and conceited, and I was quite insulted by him on many occasions--he's
liberal and I am conservative, and he is an atheist and I am a devout
Christian, and he always sounded as if he thought I was naive for my beliefs
and values, and then would treat me as if I had no values and no heart
because I am conservative/libertarian. I have basically been able to avoid
him for the most part, and actually found out he was moving to a new
college, so I wouldn't have to see him anymore. But he magically showed up
in one of my classes, and now I have class with him the entire
semester...and it is one of my favorite classes, and I don't want his
presence to ruin it. I don't know how to deal with this because he'll be a
"know-it-all" in class the same way he was to me...any ideas?
