Does anybody ever feel that you hate some people at the first sight you saw them but they turned out helping you a lot. I am just curious if i am the one experiencing this. Well, few years ago, i met some people. They are friends of my friend. From their behavior and characters, i just felt that i dislike them. But somehow, i can't imagine how, when i need help from my friend (who introduced me to those people), he always refer me to them and they are willing to help me. Do you have the same experience as i do?

Hey cintoy! How are ya! Unfortunately, I do the very same thing! I tend to sometimes hate people at first sight too! I will admit that sometimes I am right and then once in awhile I am wrong too. You can't always be right, as they say! Sometimes you just get this "feeling" and you try to with your "gut". But, there are times when your "gut" or "natural instincts" are just wrong for whatever reasons and everything turns out to be good, like in the case that you are describing! My Mom always says that "I hate everyone"! And that is so not true. That is just the way she perceives me to be. But, I happen to have alot of friends that love and care about me and I love and care about them too! You can't always know everything from a first meeting. I am glad that these people turned out to be people that you were able to depend on. So, just know that you are not alone in your way of thinking and I still would "beware" and listen to "your gut" and see how things play out! I know I still do~

Hi. I'm doing great here. How are you? Yeah, guts can be wrong sometimes but it's better to perceive someone good to be bad than someone bad to be good. for the latter, it is such bad thing that we are being deceived with the good appearance yet he is actually not the same as we expected.

I once experienced this type of situation... Indeed it was really unexpected to happen that the one who i really dislike the most is the one who help me out to escape the shameful situation... That person then became my closest friend until now. We then spend sometime together for quite some time but it so happened he went back to their hometown never came back to my place...

LOL You are really lucky to know him/her. It's nice that someone who we thought bad will help us rather than someone we thought good is killing us. Well, that's why there's nobody perfect in this world.

I don’t usually hate anybody but there have been individuals I have met that I prejudged negatively too early before getting to know them and found out that my assumptions were quite incorrect. On the other hand though I have met perfectly nice people who gave me bad vibes I could not put my finger on and later on I found out that they were not what they seemed and turned out to be not so nice after all!

That's exactly my point. nowadays, it's very difficult to judge people just by assumption. however, every time we met new faces, we always tend to make judgment before we proceed further. LOL

I've had that experience not just once. But hating is not the word I may use, but just disliking. Some people dislike people because they are different (the way they act or the way they talk). But as you go along with them, you will know that they are good after all even though you have differences. First impressions last?--sometimes it's not true.

Yeah, you are right. first impression does not always last. Many people here proves it. LOL

In my case, when I don't like a particular people, I end up not really liking him or her. First impressions do last in my situations. But there was this particular guy whom I've sort of disliked the first time I saw him but turned out to be a nice guy, down-to-earth and very easy to talk to and to be with.

Yeah, i am just curious about this issue. it seems that that person is not doing anything wrong to harm us, yet i just dislike him and in the end, i felt guilty. LOL well, the don't-judge-the-book-by-its-cover is really true. GBU

I have the same experience with you. Sometimes those people whom we don't like end up to be our friends or a good and real friend to us. I feel guilty when at first i dislike them because they don't meet my standards or i feel irritated with their behaviors. Perhaps it's because i don't know them better and when i had the chance to meet them, they are truly nice.

Yeah, as what i can recall, i refuse to talk to them much when we met at first. It's just me to my friend and my friend to him. LOL what a memories.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt, I learnt this when I was very young in my first job, I became friends with a girl I worked with and she said she used to hate me because as she said I was snobby...but in those days I was very shy. painfully shy and I guess I tried to cover that up some what, this girl hated me without really knowing me and yet I ended up being her best friend and was her bridesmaide when she got married so I like to always give people a chance....

Yeah. giving others chances in knowing them better is best. you have done a great job there. Turning those hating you into loving you. But, how about you? have you ever hate/dislike someone from the first time you met him and he proved to be contrary to your expectation. GBU

Hi, Cintoy! I'm glad I learned when I was very young (dinosaurs still roamed the earth then!) not to judge. Those you would least expect are sometimes the best friends after a while!

No!i have no experience like that.In my life,people whom I start to hate at the first sight remain worth to hate all the time.And I don't like to continue any type of relationship with them.In your case,as they are the friends of your friends they had a chance to help you.

Do you happen to have any contact with them now? Kinda curious why we can hate people just by the first sight while "don't judge the book by its cover" is all we talked about for those good guys turning out beyond what we really expected. LOL

Yeah. Most of the time people aren't always who they seem. I also experienced something similar. When i was training for customer support, i had a team who just gives out bad vibes all through out and everybody dislikes him. When i had chat with him one time, he turns out to be a nice guy. Eventually, everybody got along with him.

Telling from your story, this guy you are referring to seem so annoying. LOL Well, probably it's just a habit of one which everybody is also having bad habits. But it's nice to know that you and everybody has learned to get along with him. GBU

It's probably because he is just having a really bad day/month. People do not change easily. We can't really know what's happening with him though. Can be caused by the company (which demanded him to extra work but seemed the condition is not getting better) or personal problem. Well, at least you have left the job, so better put the past aside. How's your job now? Is it fun? LOL GBU

I know the feeling and believe me im really like that too. There are people that i just simply dont like. Well even if they are just introduced to me i already dont like them already. I dont know myself why but theres this feeling that i call badblood for someone that i dont know yet but i dont like him or her already. I dont know if its natural or its just me but reading your post im glad that im not alone in feeling the same thing over some people from time to time. Although sometime when i tend to know them alot then the feeling changes a bit but it takes alot of time before it changes .Thanks for sharing and feel free to visit my topics too and comment as well good day to you

Not really hate... there was a guy walking behind me and I was kind of scared because he looked like a snatcher so I walked briskly but he kept walking after me. I withdrew money from the ATM and he fell in line after me so i took the money and went away hurriedly. I was so surprised when he called after me and told me that I left my ATM in the machine. To think I thought of him as a thief.

That's a funny experience you have there. Yeah, you are right. I believe that not everybody will have a nice, good and generous look on his face. it only exists in the fairy tales. Well, it's nice to know that there is still people out there who is nice to even strangers. Guess this world is not so bad after all. LOL GBU

I also felt that very same way, long ago. Those people that I once disliked and hate are now my friends, we still see each other every week and enjoy some drink. Sometimes, looks can really be deceiving. You'll never know or guess who they really are, unless you come across with them in an unlikely situation.

Yeah, totally agree with you. but it's not only from the look that can make us dislike someone. It's more to the "aura" and behavior he made. Well, it's just from my experience. Some people are just perfectly normal from his look but then something just not right for me. LOL GBU

Yes, some people that I have met the first time I would start to hate them because of their rude behavior or how they would act around others. But when I needed help they would be willing to help me out. I guess the moral of the story is not to judge a book by its cover. Because you should get to know people better before you are quick to judge them in a negative light.
