Oops and I pressed post before I could say "No" I do not tell them. If I had done that I would have robbed myself of 2 of my now best friends who at first I didn't care for very much. First impressions were wrong in those cases and the negative vibes and communication gave me the gift of 2 wonderful friendships that started out rocky. LOL I would have only hurt myself if I had said anything of the such thus I remain open to change of heart. Each person is worthy in their own right.

Be careful of self help or you will end up in a commune, worse yet, a sweat tent. Keep in mind those who write them are doing so for profit.

Most everyone in the world does not get up in the morning with the sole intent of making my day difficult.  They are too wrapped up in their own dramas.  So the thing to do is be calm and kind.  They are not trying to make me dislike them.

In order for me to dislike someone, something had to occur. If something were to occur, I would discuss how I feel about whatever it was with the person. I don't believe in shaming anyone and always leave an opening for a apology. I would only have the discussion be just the two of us. If it couldn' t resolve- then I guess they would know I don't care for the type of person they are.

What would be the point of that?

Coming out and telling people you don't like them is sort of like saying, "Hey, I'm a big jerk!" It just seems hurtful and unnecessary.

I have a few exceptions to that rule, but generally speaking, I think it's counterproductive.

I don't have much choice--I am not good at concealing my feelings.  I don't really dislike people, and wish no one ill; but when folks say things I find distasteful, it definitely shows on my face even when I think I have covered it up.

My family tease me about it.

One seldom needs to SAY "I don't like you." People know, IMO.

I can count on one hand the people in real life I (have) disliked intensely, detested, wanted nothing to do with, etc. perhaps at one time immediately after an event/"the" event I might have said I hated a couple of them, but time mellows and distance gives perspective. They behaved badly, sometimes in a cowardly, underhanded way, or abused authority, or had mental issues. I think maybe I could only "hate" someone who grievously hurt or killed a loved one or a defenseless animal or child.

Haved lived in a Commune.....also whileliving at the Rezervation did the "sweat Lodge" too! As far as the books I get them all for free!

I don't surround myself with people I dislike.  If I run into someone I don't psrticularly like, I don't really let them know.  But I go to great lengths to avoid them again.

If there are people I dislike on TV, I swear at them...LOL!

Depends.......if they ask, I'm more than happy to oblige........
