Frenemies

What I've noticed is that sometimes I kind of intensely dislike people for seemingly no reason at all. I mean, I'm not rude or anything to them, I just don't really interact with them because something inside of me is not enthusiastic about spending any more time than I have to in their presence.
Wow that sounds bad.
Okay it's not that intense.
But, come on, you CANNOT lie, there are always occasionally people you just don't really like. There's gotta be. Their mannerisms just make you itch.

But I've also noticed that, many times, these people end up falling onto my path and we end up being friends. It's really strange. Lots of times I think, "...I don't have a good feeling about this person. We're probably going to have to be friends sometime in the near future."
And then something will happen, we'll be put in the same group together or a mutual friend will introduce us, and then it just... we're friends. And usually the better of friends.

Maybe it's just that I'm initially opposed to people who remind me of me.
Or maybe that's a completely different train of thought. Either way, it is true, I think that when someone reminds me of myself, I inevitably resist.
