So, I got an emergency call last night from one of my friends asking for some advice on a delicate situation. Now, it was sometime around 3am and I was half asleep so I gave an incomplete answer. The base question was, how do you get someone to stop being mean to you. In all honesty, if someone has set out to make you the target of their displeasure, you cant force them to change their minds. However, anyone can be influenced by their motivations. In order to change one behavior for another, you have to give that person a compelling reason to do so which is based on what actually motivates that person. Now, outside of that, you CAN change how you interact with someone, limit your time around them, call their parents up and tell on them, be crazy nice, or crazy mean in response... what you cant do is force someone to be nice to you.
