Antipathy refers to a strong feeling of dislike or aversion towards someone or something. It can manifest in various ways, such as negative emotions, hostility, or even avoidance. This feeling often arises from past experiences, cultural differences, or personal values that clash with those of the object of antipathy. In psychology, antipathy can influence social interactions and relationships. It may lead to conflicts or misunderstandings, particularly when individuals or groups, like friends or communities, have opposing views or behaviors. Understanding the roots of antipathy can help in addressing and resolving these negative feelings.
