Do you dislike people who disagree with you?

I tend to like people who I share some common ground with. Even if just one particular interest. I don't mind if people disagree with me, as long as they respect my views the same way I respect theirs. Then again, that could be topic dependent. Some issues might make me not want to associate with a person and some views don't deserve respect, but they would be few and serious.

No not at all, unless it it is sexist or racist.

Some of my favourite people who have shown me pretty much unending kindness, are completely different to me politically

No not at all. I try to gather n some rapport with all that I meet but you dont gel with everyone.

Do you dislike people whose values or views don't align with yours?

Or do you dislike people purely because of how they speak to you, differences of opinion aside?

Answering my own question:

I tend to look at people more for what we do have in common and think, oh well we agree on this topic and they had interesting contributions or they gave some lovely comforting advice on that topic so generally won't be rude first and I do work hard not to be rude at all lol.
