Not everyone will be our “cup of tea” and we won't always be theirs - and sometimes this can even extend to seasons in our life.

Meaning that, what was once something we needed, we no longer need now or what we once liked or loved - may not instill those same feelings today.

It’s these moments of realization that have us taking a step back, unfollowing, disconnecting or even walking away from someone.

But what does that mean if we still run in the same social or business circles as them and might see them again face to face?

Are we being two-faced if we address them or interact with them politely?

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re looking at what it means to distance ourselves from someone and yet still be kind when we run into them.

The truth is, we don't have to like everybody, but we can still treat each other with kindness.

This doesn’t make us two-faced. This makes us decent human beings who have matured enough to stand respectfully in conversation with someone even if we’re no longer on the same page.

There are of course nuances to this - just as with many other things - but so long as it wasn’t a harmful, destructive situation that required you to remove yourself, being kind when you run into them only serves to keep things civil and clean.

It doesn’t have to be complicated; you don’t have to get into a sticky situation or over explain yourself. Just keep it clean, stick to your healthy boundaries and move on.
