Thanks go to dr_memory for this one:

Realization: There will be people in the world who will never like you. More often than not, this is not about abject hatred, or even active dislike. Rather, it is because the two of you have mutually incomprehensible ways of dealing with the world, and there will never be a common ground on which to build a friendship. Acnkowledge this, and move on.

While on the one hand you're right, on the other hand estheruth and I have mutually incompatible and incomprehensible ways of dealing with the world. I don't quite know what to say about that, except that it's obviously not hopeless if there's a strong motivation to overcome it :)

Obviously. It's just another thing to take into consideration when trying to figure out why someone doesn't like you. If there's sufficiently strong motivation, it's relatively easy to find common ground.
