Have you ever found yourself liking someone for no reason?

I like you... ?

No likes and dislikes without a reason.

Yes, I have a co-worker who I can't stand tp speek to. It might be his politics, but it started before I knew his views. It just seems like he's trying too hatd to impress.

Yes, but those are reasons..

@Kayterade5348 it started out for no reason, I think I found reasons to not like him. I have known other people with which I have the same issues, but I don't dislike them.

How about the vibe you feel?

That’s probably more it.

Very often. When I meet someone for the first time, I almost always like or dislike them immediately for no fathomable reason. More often than not, that like or dislike turns out to be justifiable - the people I immediately like tend to turn out to be good, reliable, trustworthy people; those I dislike tend to be the opposite.

No, but I sometimes like people that it turns out I probably shouldn't.

I’ve become fascinated by brain science and it turns out most of our decisions (probably all) are made subconsciously.

Probably turned off a lot of people with that comment.

To answer your question: Yes - it happens fairly often, And I’m typically suspicious of people who seem to “like” everyone.

When I meet someone new, I often have an immediate sense of being drawn in by them or repelled by them. I believe there are reasons, conscious and unconscious - sometimes obvious and more often much less so. My brain, heart and gut decide!

I would like to think that I haven't but I'm sure I have to my shame

Not likely possible. There is always a reason...you may not understand or be able to express why you do not like someone, but there will always be a reason.

Yes. I only have so much like to spread around.

0

No, but I've had some pretty weak reasons.

I don't thinks so..... but. I believe I have been quick to judge at times. And I have learned that first impressions don't necessarily match up to the person.

When I first saw Trump on TV, promoting his (ghost written) biok "The Art of The Deal", I immediately disliked him without knowing why at the time.

I fidn my intuition about people is usually pretty good. Every time I ignored my intuitive feeling about a person, Ihave regretted it, as the personlater screwed me over in one way or another.

I think our instincts or immediate likes and dislikes evolved to help us better survive our fellow humans. When I listn to my instincts, I do much better than when I don't.

Yes. I , unfortunately, have an instant dislike to individuals with very large heads. I don’t have a clue why. But, when it is someone I have to deal with personally, over time, I have to work to overcome that dislike.

I try to keep the instinct of a child inside me. Sometimes you cannot explain why you don‘t like someone. I‘m watching those people cautiously over a period of time to get sure if I‘m wrong or right. I try not to judge someone from the start.

No I don't go that far. I do come across people who's face I'd like to stand on but that's because they're sniveling little gobshites...e.g. Nigel Farage and Michael Gove #twunts

Depends on how you define "dislike" if you are talking about social media, no. If you mean fail to like a person, probably but in that event there is likely a reason even if I am not fully aware of the reason for my emotional response.

You can learn a lot from the things that make you uncomfortable. Dive into reason. Don’t just blindly avoid.

Yes especially if my dog didn't like them.

0

Not really. The very few people I dislike, I dislike for a reason.

0

Yes. I've gotten a vibe from someone and immediately disliked them.

0

Well, I might not understand what the reason is right away, but there is always a reason if I don't like someone. And usually it has a lot more to do with me than with anything they have done. I find I am annoyed with people who have the same characteristics that I don't like about myself. It's like looking in a mirror and focusing on my perceived flaws. But this other person is getting the fallout of my insecure judgement.

0

Never. I'm very particular about who I really like or really hate.

Do ex-wives count ?

I try to be open when meeting someone new,but sometimes I just get a feeling that either we will be friends or that I just don't like them. Often, additional meetings validate my first impression. It is often true, however, that once we make a decision about a person we are very reluctant to let it go so we seek out confirming information and dismiss as a fluke anything that would indicate we're wrong. A lot of what we believe is gleaned through nonverbal communication so there really IS a reason we like or dislike the person.
