no eres antipático
no seas antipático

For "ve", it looks a little more like "voy" (I go) from the present tense, but we have to change it.
start with voy
change the o to a = vay
then add the opposite ending (ir is an -ir verb so add "-as"
The tú command for : DON'T GO! would be.....
no voyas
no ves
no vayas
no vas
