Some people say nothing is impossible, but there is one thing that might break this theory. Because in the world we live in, it is absolutely impossible to please everyone. There will always be someone who would feel annoyed by you, no matter how genuine and kind you are.
But how can you tell when someone doesn’t like you? What reveals a person’s true intentions and emotions even when they are doing a great job hiding them?
Here are 8 key behavioral traits that reveal when someone doesn’t enjoy your company?
1. Avoiding eye contact.
You can understand a lot about a person’s character just by looking at their eyes. If you can. Because when someone doesn’t enjoy your company, they would get easily distracted and avoid eye contact even when you are having a one-on-one discussion.
2. Rushing the conversation.
The way people converse can also reveal a lot regarding whether they like you or not. If someone is always rushing the conversation, cutting you short on the regular, and checking their watch non-stop as you speak, they probably find you quite annoying, and they cannot wait to get rid of your presence.
3. Not paying attention.
Whether someone finds you delightful or not, you can also tell by the amount of attention they pay when spending time with you. If a person doesn’t listen to what you have to say, they are clearly not interested in you enough to show consideration.
4. Making you feel nervous or unwanted.
When someone doesn’t appreciate your company, they won’t be bothered to respect your boundaries. Therefore, as you spend time with that person, they might make you feel uncomfortable, awkward, and even unwanted by violating your personal limits.
5. Showing no interest in your personal life.
Sometimes when you are talking to someone, asking questions about their hobbies, their passions, and their lives in general, all they do is answering. They don’t ask anything about you, they show no interest in your personality, they just answer. Well, whether you like it or not, this usually means that they just don’t care. Because when someone appreciates your company, they are curious about you – they don’t make you feel your connection is one-sided.
6. Faking a smile.
No matter how good you think you are at hiding your real feelings, a fake smile is always visible to the more attentive ones. A genuine smile can be felt with the heart, while a forced one can never touch you emotionally. So when someone fakes a smile while talking to you, they are most probably indicating their real feelings about you.
7. Acting defensive.
If a person doesn’t like you, they also don’t trust you. And when someone doesn’t trust you, they start defending themselves from you, as they see you as an invader of their personal space.
8. When your gut is telling you there’s something wrong.
And sometimes, even when a person acts friendly, asks you a question or two about your life, and looks you in the eyes when talking to you, your intuition is screaming at you that they don’t like you. Something in the way they carry themselves around you just doesn’t feel right. Listen to your gut because it is most likely right about the vibes it catches from that person.
