Just accept that you don't need to be friends with everybody. Some people you just will not get along with. Whether it's you or them that's responsible is not really important.

I always try to be nice at the start, but if it goes south I just try to avoid that person. It has worked for me but YMMV.

Also something I read recently and agree with is this:

You do NOT have to be nice to people who are mean to you.
