Genuinely liking someone, versus making yourself like someone..

38% Normal
5 Comments

I have never seen this discussed before. It seems like people in group settings often force themselves to like someone (family, work, etc.) They fool their brains for the sake of group cohesiveness. Most people don't want to act like they like someone because they know it's disingenuous. So they try to make it genuine by forcing their heart into it or turning something negative (loud, irritating, obnoxious) into something positive (energetic, lively).

Why bother? Just make it clear: I DON'T FUCKING LIKE YOU, I NEVER WILL.

    It’s normal to try and “see the good in people” if you are obligated/strongly pressured to spend time with them. I think people see it as focusing on the positive, but you’re right, there’s a fine line between trying to see the good side of someone and lying to yourself that you like them.

    I genuinely care about people. I care about people almost too much. I cry often when really good things happen. I am a sappy man.

    Sometimes people are like warts, they grow on you, and you get used to them.

    Isn’t there enough bitterness, anger, and hatred in the world already? You don’t have to like someone to be congenial to them.
