@SW-User It really is. I've overheard people talking about me a few times. Someone would ask them why they didn't like me. They would say "I don't know. There's just something about him." Ironically, I have had a few people tell me I was the best friend they ever had. Go figure.

@Nitedoc yeah, I get it. It’s good to know what people are like before judging them. If anything, it’s their loss.

Yes. And I have met people that I, for no reason, didn't like.
Sometimes people rub each other the wrong way.
This has been well expressed in Latin by Martial and in English by Thomas Brown, and there is a whole story to this that I didn't know till just now from Wikipedia:

When Brown was a student at Christ Church, Oxford, he was caught doing mischief. The college dean, John Fell (1625–1686) had expelled Brown but offered to take him back if he passed a test. If Brown could make an extempore translation of the thirty-second epigram of Martial, his expulsion would be cancelled. The epigram in Latin is as follows:
Non amo te, Sabidi, nec possum dicere quare.
Hoc tantum possum dicere: non amo te,
a literal translation of which is "I do not like you, Sabidius, nor can I say why. This much I can say: I do not like you." Brown successfully met the challenge with his impromptu version, which soon became well known:
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why – I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.
The story is that Dr. Fell stayed Brown's dismissal.

All the time.
It comes with the territory.
People are just built and raised differently.
Something we all have to deal with.
I will say though, that the energy that you give off, you will receive back.
On the same coin though, we shouldn't judge a person just because of a first impression.
