I am not familiar with some of the vocabulary from the US. How do you say this kind of guy or even women that it doesn't matter what you do, is always in a bad attitude against you, he/she hates you and they are really unfriendly and impossible to deal with? You do your best and what is more, you try to avoid him/her, it doesn't matter, is really comfortless even only knowing that he/she is around you. What is even more inexplicable, he/she is only mad with you...

The question is: is there anything you can do to bear with him/her?

Build a mental wall around yourself so they simply do not exist to you. Ignore them as much as possible. If they come into your space leave, go away from them. Do not talk to them.

When you judge others, you don't define them, you define yourself. Remember that the next time someone judges you.

SOME people are naturally grumbly toward others. (i.e.. especially haters that respond to your post)

And some people have negativity toward select individuals.

The MOST important thing, is to not let it get under your skin--because it has nothing to do with you.

(now if everyone is negative with you, then maybe it's you... but that's not what I'm reading in your words)

You might think of negative like an energy drain (because they can pull you down).

So, no matter what they do, think of happy memories and stay with your good feeling.

Try to imagine them as grumpy 2 year olds that don't know how to be with others yet.

Don't be overly nice to them. Just deal with the facts with them.

It's not you.

If staying aligned with your happy place is too difficult (it's okay sometimes it is), try going "gray rock" with them.
Basically it's becoming so consistently boring with monotone responses that they lose interest in you.

NO one is worth your peace of mind, so don't carry his burden on your shoulders.

It's not yours.

Try to limit your time around them as much as possible, and don't give them the satisfaction of goading a response out of you.

I make an active choice to avoid them. This doesn't work if it is in a work setting, but even at that rate, I only interact with them the minimum amount necessary.

No sense in trying to figure someone like this out. I agree with the others to keep your distance and interact as little as possible. You can also put things in perspective: some people are just miserable and most times it has nothing to do with you.

Yes by not biting and taking the bait

When it's clear they are just looking for a reaction or even to intimidate you I just giggle, down play whatever they say and best of all make them look silly which does wind them right up in the process!

Playground humour will always win
