    What are the reasons for our liking or disliking of any person?

    In our social or workplace life, we come across many people and interact with them. It is during these interactions that we start liking some of them and like to interact or meet with them frequently. At the same time we do not feel good in the company of some other people and do not like to communicate with them. That is where our liking and disliking of the people around us begins.
    Those whom we like, we feel positive and good in their company while those whom we dislike we feel uncomfortable and uneasy. What are the reasons for our liking or disliking of a particular person? Do you also feel good in the company of some people but not in the company of some others? Please share your views.

    Every person has some qualities and traits. People have different behaviours and mannerisms. No two people are same as regards to their behaviour. In such a situation there will only a partial match between the habits, liking, and behaviour of the people and the degree of this match will decide whether they would like each other or not.
    Generally, people would like to have friendly relationship with like minded people. This would also depend on the mutual respect and ability to tolerate the behaviour of others. A good company is that in which both sides are comfortable. Otherwise there would be inconvenience and uneasiness in between leading to separation.
    Some people are offensive and demanding and then other people generally avoid them. One cannot have a liking for such persons.

    When the thoughts and views of two persons match with each other, they may start liking each other. Another aspect is when somebody always says yes to whatever we say, we may start liking that man. When I was working in a company, the MD of the company used to like his subordinates who never differed with him and always said yes to whatever he said. Some employees observed this nature and used to say yes always. Sometimes, this situation was faced by me. What I used to do was, hear whatever he said, keep silent and after some time go to him and tell him a better way of approach as per my thinking. Then he used to debate and if necessary used to change his opinion. But he used to favour those people who are his yes masters.
    A teacher will always like a very well-disciplined student. A young boy may like a beautiful girl. Similarly, there may be some other reasons for liking or disliking a person.

    As many present people are found with selfish mentality at large, the like and dislike are based on their mentality that if the other person obey or act according to them they are liked otherwise not liked.
    Moreover presently many do not know what is really right but whatever they think is right. They tells whatever the other persons tells found differently to their views are considered as 'negative'.

    The essential prerequisite for strengthening friendship is to have identical thoughts of the people with whom we would like to have friendship. If the ideas match between the two, they will have everlasting connections. However, there is one aspect, the temperament of man is always changeable. It means with the progress of time, we can feel some of maintaining a distance from the man who had developed the tie of friendship.
    However, the essential parameter to maintain a friendship is to have enough tolerance of the other party.

    One thing that I want to add to this discussion is there are occasions when people are like minded and have more and less similar views on an issue or matter and they also belong or have affiliation with a particular ideology or group, but they start disliking each other. Such situations arise when there is a fight or competition for a position within that ideological group or community. This type of disliking is born because of the jealousy or competition or seeking leadership or other important positions within the group.
    This is a very common phenomenon in the society today and many people have their likings or dislikings of a particular person based on these considerations.

    From the various responses made by members in this thread it appears that mainly matching of taste and habits often lead to liking while differences in outlook and behaviour could be the cause of disliking in many cases.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.
