What is the quickest way to tell if a person secretly dislikes you?
They may act distant or even avoidant. If you try to engage them in conversation, they may give one-word answers or completely ignore you. Body language is also telling; if someone faces away from you or crosses their arms when you're talking, it's a sign that they're not interested.
What is the nicest way to tell someone you don't like them?
"I just don't feel the same way." "That's just the way I feel." "I know the feeling I'm looking for, and I'm just not feeling it here." "I don't think we're a good match for each other, and while I know you might not agree, I hope you can trust that I know what's right for me."

Give brief, unemotional responses anytime you speak to them. Don't expand on anything you say, and don't ask them any questions either. Respond briefly and politely but show that you're not interested in furthering the conversation. Use a polite excuse to cut the conversation short.
What are the root causes of hate? Hate is based in issues of power and control. Hate comes from the idea that certain people can or should have power and control over others. These ideas come from our history where certain people took power over others.
