Based on your answers, it is very unlikely that someone dislikes you. When we are forming new friendships and relationships, we most of the time base our first impression off of how the other person makes us feel. This means that, if they are nice to us, we will believe that this could become something long-term and if they are not friendly, we may ask ourselves why they weren’t. Luckily, there seem to be no reason for you to worry. In case you answered ‘yes’ to two or more questions, there may be a chance that there is someone you know who doesn’t like you.

Based on your answers, there are some signs present that someone dislikes you. Creating new bonds is most of the time beneficial. However, not always that is the case. Sometimes you don’t know that someone doesn’t like you, but there are some signs you can learn to recognize. For example, if someone is crossing their arms while talking to you or looking elsewhere, it may be a sign that the person doesn’t like you. Unfortunately, not all our efforts to form new relationships will go the way we expected or wanted. If you are doing the best you can, you should stop worrying if people like you are not. It’s a waste of your precious energy.

Unfortunately, it seems like there is someone out there who doesn’t like you. Believe it or not, but several nonverbal behaviors can be indicators as whether or not someone likes you. These things include the distance someone keeps from you and a lack of eye contact. However, we have to be aware that this is not always the case, because there are exceptions. If you are doing the best you can, you should stop worrying if people like you are not. It’s a waste of your precious energy.
