Are you in the habit of not liking or loving a person whom you admire?

It's a natural tendency to reciprocate feelings of liking and admiration to people...if they admire you, you will also notice their goodness, their kindness, generosity...mutualism is the name of the game in a relationship. If you love me, I will love you in return; if you hate me, my tendency is to hate you in return. I have a colleague who I learned recently to have expressed her dislike for me...so thereafter, I started to avoid the person, and actually disliking her, noticing her defects and shortcomings...I know it's bad, but it's really an instinctive reaction to either like or dislike people. I can't worship or admire someone who dislikes me!

You love me I love you, you hate me, I hate you is a transactional analysis (TA). Thanks for very interesting, analytical response.

ms. psyche49f... we do have the same sentiments.. if I feel that such person doesn't like me, I tend to avoid him/her.. in some cases.. I'll try to show him that I don't deserve such treatment.. but in a while..if he doesn't change I don't insist myself..why wasting my time for those who doesn't like me... on the other hand.. i thank for all those who admire me...as my gratitude or my way of thanking them, I am nice to them... I also love giving compliments, especially those who deserve it..

When I admire someone, I do it sincerely. Similarly I love all those who admire me.

It's nice to receive compliments from other people but that doesn't mean that we have to do the same if we don't like it. It's enough to say thank you but don't give compliments if he/she doesn't really deserve it.

There is no direct quid pro quo when you receive the compliments. Thanks for your frank expression and response.
