is it okay to dislike someone? there’s this person i’ve gotten to know this year that i don’t quite like. it’s surprising that i feel this way because it’s been a while since i’ve felt such an intensely negative emotion towards someone.
everything about him just rubs me the wrong way. i can’t seem to look beyond his arrogant and dominating personality. i know that isn’t all there is to him, but i can’t help but focus on the Bad. i think my brain is too used to hyperfixating on negative thoughts. i used to think it only affected how i view myself. maybe it also affects how i view others.
but maybe there is nothing wrong with disliking someone. not everyone likes me anyway, i can’t possibly like everyone i meet either. maybe it’s enough that i continue to treat him with respect! i don’t necessarily have to like him.
i hope we become friends, somehow :O but even if we don’t, i know this is temporary. we are both travelling and we just happen to be in transit at the same time, in the same place. i guess we will both go our separate ways eventually.
