Have you ever thought long and hard about why you might not like someone?

[kathyhollenbach]

I was told long ago, when you don't like certain people is usually because their behavior is something you hate about yourself.

A way of dealing with my own social anxiety which used to be severe.. I got to looking at other people, strangers passing me in the street and realised that they could be going through the exact same thing, or they could have just had the worst night if their lives or diagnosed with cancer or.. you know, something catastrophic.. but they’re hurrying through town trying to hold their shit together just like me..

I like most people. I dislike rudeness, unnecessary anger, talking down to someone, laziness and disregard for rules at work and meanness, especially to children and animals. Fortunately these are the minority, the rest….. I pray for them

A very good explanation. Thanks. I usually try to explain much of this to a class of Barbie dolls sent to me so that I might counsel them in relation to mistaken identity problems they'd encountered during their lives.

i believe you like people that are like yourself, you dislike people that are very different from you, in both actions and in physical appearance. its pretty normal.

It’s your Human Design where your Energetic centres are and where another’s are sometimes they clash and sometimes they attract like Crazy !😅

[stacyn.]

There’s a lot of people I don’t like because they made fun of me and the. other’s did bad stuff to me.

As long as I don't have to habitually clean up after another person in some sense of the word, I tend to be really neutral to them.

I just don’t trust people from the start so i usually am very quite until someone has earned my trust. I hate when someone starts talking to me thinking we are friends from the start so usually those people i never let them talk to me as friends i only want to talk as coworkers since i don’t really talk to people when i go anywhere that isn’t like a store employee or at a event like a anime convention.

No. More or less I've always wondered why I have Reactive Attachment Disorder.

I thought you were going to talk about chemistry - namely pheromones - too.
I’m kinda disappointed you didn’t and talked about the very outdated theories of Freud instead. 🤷🏻‍♀️ never mind.
