Usually you recite the mantra first for yourself, then for a loved one, then for a person you are all in all indifferent to, and finally for a person with whom you have disagreements. This also helps you develop compassion toward your neighbor, whoever they may be.

I agree, it is by no means easy.
I think trying, with listening but without judgment toward oneself, is the key.
After a while, something happens...
