I wonder at this point if it’s the person that is instantly disliked or if it’s what they represent to you? I’d hope to steer a person away from thinking ‘it’s you! [insert hate comments here]’ because now you (one) hates a person AND themselves. that’s not winning.

It is very uncommon that I take an instant dislike to someone but my absolute belief that EVERYONE deserves validation kicks in. No matter what I will smile and share a word with them. But also my instinct says smile and move on. We don’t have to like everyone. It’s ok

but no excuses to be rude.
