why do people not like other people just because they are diffrent?

People who don't like others because they are different are ignorant. People often fear what they don't understand, and ignorant people only like others like themselves because they understand and can relate to people similar to themselves, but those that are differnt because of lifestyle, race, language ect. they don't understand and there for fear. Of course they don't say that's why they dislike someone, or a group of people, but that is why. These type of people are not to be hated for their ignorance,they should be pittied, because they live sad scarred, small close minded ignorant angry life, surrounded by other sad pathetic close minded ignorant people just like them:-)

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

We have a tendency to demonized things that are different, or that we don't understand.\n\nIt is a matter of laziness and ignorance.   It takes time and an open mind to understand and accept the diversity that makes society wonderful.  Unfortunately too few people possess that.\n\nAnd difference is potentially bothersome.  As long as it puts us outside of the "comfort zone" we have established for ourselves.

We're drawn to certain types of people for many reasons. Our preferences are largely programmed into us at an early age and are often determined by our early family life. Also, we find ourselves going back to the same assholes over and over again until we learn our individual lesson - i.e. don't get involved with the same types of assholes over and over again.

They are insecure with the person they really are. Also a lot of people imitate others in order to be accepted in whatever social group they are a part of.

Because people want other people to be like them. If everyone was the same then we would have another issue there in itself. Everyone is diverse. Just people don't realize that. We all come from different backgrounds no matter what color, sex, religion, race. We all have grown up in different ways.Someon might have grown up on a farm and someone else in the city, that is diversity. People are just too scared to want anything else or afraid on who or what they might meet, when in reality the person who is next to you could be your best friend instead they want to hide and not learn anything new.

Do they HAVE to like each other?? I have friends that don't like my other friends....big deal.

Because you are not envious enough of them. They love to be feared or loved or the center of attention, but they can not handle being just another person.\nGood job! Keep it up!

Some people with certain religious beliefs, or cultural attitudes will not like you because they feel it is wrong, or are disgusted and threatened by the idea. There is nothing you can do about that.  It's been my experience though (as a gay man) that if MANY people don't like you, as you stated, It's probably not because of your sexuality. You might want to look at other aspects of yourself as the problem.

There are a few people that I dislike, but I don't "hate" anyone. Every relationship I have with people, even the bad ones, shap me into the person I am today.

Because some have values or morals. And others do not. True even if some hate to hear it.\n\nSome like the people so much-they drop their values or morals to justify their reasons. Doesn't change it.\n\nSome have personal gain. Or selfish reasons

Sure, it happens often.  Most people just don't accept others completely right away.  Some others are trying to hide something from me, for whatever reason.  I have enough real friends to avoid others that might diminish me.  Boundaries can be healthy.\n\nHate whatever you want, but hate is a waste of energy.\n\nFriendly is one thing, friendship exists on many different levels, and some people have their own methods of allowing friends in, and others have borders in place for self-protection.  True friendship can only be proven over time, and through shared experiences or tribulations.\n\nI have no answer for that.\n\nSome people want pets, but I would recommend something other than a peeve, you have to feed peeves emotions.

If they are nice to you, why don't you like them?

Don't you think that we all have people that hates us? Just think of it like this, look at everything you have to offer someone and they choose to not like you, it's their LOSS!

I always dislike people when I first meet them too. I usually grow to like them. i think it's a defense thing. I'm usually meaner to the nicer people they seem so weak it's easy to walk all over them. I feel bad too. But I just can't help myself

Just like with any group of people, I really cannot say that I like, dislike or hate them all.  I have met some really lice people from cities, and some really scummy ones.  Some have surprised me.  I just deal with each person as an individual.

A person either likes you or not.  You can't go on in life changing who and what you are to conform to what makes other people comfortable.  First, it won't last too long because you are who you are.  Second, it will get tiring and frustrating because you'll have to keep up a "front" for that person, to keep them around and you will eventually come to resent them.  Just be who you are and accept the fact that people will like you for who you are or not like you for who are.
