There have been a few people that crossed my path that I just couldn't get close to them. I didn't know them really but I just didn't like them.
As I got older I found out that I can read people, I can tell if someone is good or not. It is just a feeling I get.
Psychologist says that when this happens, we dislike someone for no apparent reason, it is because that person subconsciously reminds us of someone we actually know and do not like. This person could remind of your brother whom you can't stand, but you don't know on a conscious level, meaning you could not say to someone I don't like Joe he reminds me too much of John, my brother. You just really don't know why you don't like the person, (Joe)
Has this ever happened to you?

I know just what your talking about. This happens to me as well. I also get the opposite, when you meet someone and you instantly like them and it is like you have known them for a long time. You just get on so well. When it does happen though i try to give that person a chance, in case i am wrong
cheers

LOL I am ashamed of myself for doing this but yes, I have done this. I just dont like them. I got a funny feeling of distrust when I met them and i cant shake that feeling. I tend to follow my feelings so yes, I have a person in mind that I dont know at all but I dislike and distrust them. SHH! Dont tell anyone

I have had this happen to me before. It hasn't happened alot of times though just a few. I have a really go ability to read people. Sometimes I just don't feel comfortable around a certain person. Occasionally this bab feeling will go away but usually not. I have ignored this before and became friends with the person anyway and it did not end well. Now I just listen to the feeling I get and I am always nice and polite to the person but I don't let them get close to me.

Yes! I'm usually an easy-going person, I try to like everyone but once in a while, there will be this person that I just can't stand.
I really feel guilty about feelings this way, it made me think about the kind of person I am, I thought, maybe I'm just really spiteful, why can't I like this person?
As time goes by, I just learn to deal with it. I mean, just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean you can't be civil with them.
I just try to interact as little with them as possible.

Yes, this happens to me too. I meet somebody or read him online and without any reason feel antipathy. I dont know this person, he has done nothing to me or even he is friendly. But the feeling is not pleasant.
The esoteric think that this is because of the interconection between the auras - our energy covers are in contact and this contact is not harmonical. They have different ideas and explanation about it.

I suppose I have always gone on gut instinct with people but try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I would rather try to get to know someone a little better first before making any judgment. However, there have been times when someone was been introduced to me and I just *know* I don't like them. Up to now my instincts have usually be right.

Yes I get this feeling very often. There are certain people that I've just met that I dislike. I'm not a judgmental person, but whenever I get a feeling about a person, either positive or negative, my impression of that person turns out right eventually. Maybe there's something about a person's aura or vibration that creates that impression. On the other hand, there are also people that you easily warm up to like a best friend you haven't seen for a long time. Maybe there's really a link to the psychological meaning on the subconscious level that we get reminded of people we like or dislike. It's very logical.

YEs, i had experienced this things before.For some reasons i can't understand, it might have been my emotional and logical stability that contributed in being judgmental and discriminating to the person whom i disliked even without being closed/even. Or maybe, to expound further, spiritually, we both have different spiritual power/effects that clashes in the spiritual helm...just a thought. Can anyone here, expound...Please help

Haha, it happens to me sometimes and your discussion make a lot sense. When i dislike someone, and people ask me why, i just thought of nothing i dislike about him but he has a similarity to someone i dislike before.
However, most of the times, my preceptions changed after i know them better. this is how funny life could be.

Hi winterose yes this happens to me all the time. Im always right when I think theres something about a person I dont like. And you should always listen to what your mind is trying to tell you. Alot of animals are like this too. Im not saying we are animals.LOL I know my cats are like that.

Yes I have. Our mind is wondrous - it can analyze another with just a thought. Usually the reasons will present themselves soon enough.

I have ever seen a person at sight and then instinct tells me I don't like the person. Perhaps it was really the act of the subconsciousness. However, in some religious reasoning, it was that both of you actually knew each other in the past (past lives, if you believe in it) and there is some misunderstanding which was not cleared up, and brought into this lifetime to be resolved.

There are other reasons for not liking someone for no apparent reason. Everyone gives off a certain energy and although it cannot be seen, everyone has the ability to feel it. That alone can turn a person off and with good reason. Chances are that person wouldn't get along with you anyway. We all have innate instincts to be able to weed people out of our lives that will extinguish our own positive energy. We just need to learn to trust it more.
