I found this very interesting......

Have you ever taken an instant dislike to someone? They haven’t done anything to you … you may have only just met them … but for some reason you just can’t stand them?

If you have ever experienced this unpleasant reaction to someone, then you know it’s rarely a slow burn … the 'dislike' appears almost immediately. You may try to take a logical approach and tell yourself to give it time, but rather than fading over time as you get to know the person, the aversion grows.

Take heart, this doesn’t mean you are a bad person, and more importantly, it’s not just you. According to psychologists there really is such a thing as an instant and unexplainable dislike of another person. In most cases there is no apparent reason for the feeling. Perhaps it’s a resemblance to someone in our past that we can’t even consciously recall, maybe it’s a tone of voice that reminds us of something unpleasant, or maybe you knew them in a previous life … OK, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea. It could even be a feature of someones character that we can’t detect at all on the surface. It is unnerving and unusual to have an instant dislike for a person, but it does happen.

has this ever happened to you?
