"There is a select group of people I can stand whom I enjoy interacting with on a daily basis; unfortunately, you’re not one of them."
Also, someone please expound on the usages of "this" and "that."

'You are not one of the group that I can stand.' The relative clause is redundant.
What do you want to know about the demonstrative adjectives/pronouns? The topic is rather broad.

Did I use "whom" correctly? As for "this" and "that," just the usages between the words, like the "who vs whom" thread.

'Whom' is correct. If you wish to be more formal: 'with whom I enjoy interacting...', but as I said the clause is redundant.
'This' and 'that' are straightforward: 'this' for a relatively nearby referrent; 'that' for a more distant one. And the obsolescent 'yonder' for an even more distant referrent.
