Hard Questions Hard Topics #002: Why We Don’t Like Someone?

I can not know why but i can say some reasons to understand this process. To generate the feeling of disliking someone, the mind needs some input, some stimuli. When you dislike someone instinctively, it may seem that you dislike them for no reason. But the reality is there’s always a reason, no matter how subtle.

It could be the way they look, act, or speak. It could be something they did or said that rubbed you the wrong way. It could be that they remind you of someone you don’t like. It could be that they have a quality that you don’t like in yourself. It could be that they’re successful and you’re not. It could be that they’re happy and you’re not. It could be that they ’re different from you in some way.

The mind is constantly taking in information and making judgments. When it comes to people, we often make snap judgments based on first impressions. We size people up quickly and decide whether we like them or not. Sometimes, we don’t even know why we feel the way we do.

If you don’t like someone, ask yourself why. Try to be honest with yourself. It could be that they’re not really a bad person, you’re just projecting your own issues onto them. Once you know the reason, you can decide if it’s something you can work on or if it’s something you need to let go of.
