You could play games where this is not something people can really do. For example, Settlers of Catan would be a bad choice, but Apples to Apples would be a good one.

Is there a good way to make such games enjoyable?

I've never tried forcing myself to like a game, but why do you think that you need to?

There are very many games in which you win by doing better than other players and you can't really make specific other players do worse. Odds are you'll like some of them.

There's Dominion or Race for the Galaxy. There's trivia games. In general, many games classified as "party games" are good, but not all: Mafia, for example, would be a terrible choice. There's cooperative games like Pandemic.

There's also two-player games (like chess) in which you at least won't have a group teaming up against you, or team games (like spades) in which you'll have (at least) one person on your side.
