Were you taught that it's not right to not like someone?

I was, and I ended up not liking anyone.

We have to like ourselves first, and I’m working on that everyday. I’m learning acceptance is my key, it’s just bringing it to habit instead of being succumbed by episodes. Simple, but not easy.

Like ourselves first - before what? before we can like everyone? I’m stating that nobody can possibly like everyone = people who do are just projecting their own narcissism. I’m talking about the frustration of holding back feelings, talk and behaviors about not liking someone.

It was just a generalization

Agreed, anyone does include me, and I suppose I did not like my changing, growing self.

you cant like everyone and not everyone can like you . or i should say, you wont like everyone, and not everyone will like you. just a case of personalities

That’s so true, and something that really needs to be told to young ones. It took me a long time to learn that.

I think it’s best to use a live and let live philosophy to get through life. People do things that irritate me, but I try not to cop an attitude about it. I do that not because of any great love for the human race. It is because that is the easiest way for me to live. There are times when I hate the whole human race, though.

I was taught to be nice to everyone, now I have difficulties realizing when someone is being unfair to me.

Everyone can breathe. No one charge for air, rain drop and sun light. Even bad people enjoy these from our Creator.
Likewise, I am taught to love enemies. Only God can condemn people.

Yeah, but when you love your enemy they sense that it’s a put on and not a gut reaction.

I think you are right. At least we tried.
