Have you ever experienced disliking or hating someone on sight without actually knowing the real person? It is just that there is something about the person that you instinctively doesn't like or hate? It seems unreasonable but I have actually experience not liking someone very strongly the first time that I saw the person. I know it is wrong and unreasonable that is why had I tried to rationalize why I feel such instant dislike about the person. I even felt guilty for feeling that way that I really got out of my way to know the person really well. I wasn't surprised that the person and I turned out to clash on our views on most things. We just see, beleive and do things differently.

Yes i have experienced this many times, just around school because of the different groups. I dislike anyone in the footy program, because most of them are idiots. SO when i see someone in our school football uniform Its almost an automatic dislike. (football is different in Australia, i'm not saying i dislike people who play what we call soccer). But I feel guilty for it sometimes because there are some of them that are actually alright.

I also had the same experience in school. I really dislike and avoid those women who are too arty and wears a lot of make-up. However, there was this girl that I tried avoiding at first but seems to keep on dogging me that when I get to know her better it turned out that she is completely okey and very nice. Sometimes, our prejudices do get ahead of us.

They definetly do. It is pretty interesting how much stereotypes can make you think differently of a person.

One can't really help avoiding those people one doesn't like. I guess its a natural move that any person would make. Thanks for sharing!
