Not Liking Someone
You're not required to like everyone, all the time.
It's okay not to like someone. No need to beat yourself up about it.
It is under very rare circumstances that I don’t like someone, so when it happens I often think that there is a problem with me rather than the other person.
At least that’s what I thought in my 20s.
I would even go out of my way to be around that person more in hopes that I would understand where I was at fault. Maybe there was something I was missing?
Perhaps you feel that way too. You meet someone and something just doesn't sit right with you, and you have a hard time pinpointing what it is exactly.
Now that I’m a little grayer, I’ve actually learned to trust my intuition. Some people I just don’t mesh with. It doesn’t mean I’m rude to them. I always show respect. I just choose to limit my interaction with them and spend my time with others.
They are not bad people. I just know very much who I am and where my personality, values, and life outlook may clash with someone else.
I like most people, but not everyone. And not everyone will like me. And that’s okay.
