Can someone who is bipolar be angry with one person and at the same time be kind with another person.
If it's not one of the bipolar symptoms, what disorder can it be?
Thanks for any feedback.

It's possible. My ex had it. He could be mean to me (for no reason) and kind to his daughter at the same time.

you should go to the doctor Here is some stuff I got from webmd The more you know about bipolar disorder, the better you will be able to cope with this lifelong illness. There are many steps that you can take-or help a loved one take-to recognize and better manage manic episodes. * Learn the warning signs of a manic episode and get early treatment to avoid disruption in your life. * At the same time each day, record your mood and any symptoms. * Take medicines as instructed by your doctor to help reduce the number of manic episodes. * To help prevent a manic episode, avoid triggers such as caffeine, alcohol or drug use, and stress. * Exercise, eat a balanced diet, get a good night's sleep, and keep a consistent schedule to reduce minor mood swings that can lead to more severe episodes of mania. * Have an action plan in place so that if you do have a manic episode, those who support you can follow the plan and keep you safe.

When Bipolar you're either manic for a state of time or depressed. Not both at the same time - not in the way I think you mean.
There's a famous book called "I Hate You, Please Don't Leave Me" which illustrates the Borderline Personality Disorder. It would be much more natural for someone with that disorder to, as the book title implies, have extremely conflicting emotions at the same time.

No, in bipolar disorder the mood shifts are slow and the person goes long periods, like days or weeks, in depressed or manic states.
Your description is vague, but it could be just emotional lability, which can have loads of causes like hormones, or borderline personality disorder, where the person has a real black-and-white view of people, always idealizing or despising.

Different people bring out different emotions in me... There are a couple of people i cannot stand seeing or dealing with and unfortunately others can see the change in my attitude when I'm around them.. but i am the nicest person to others(who i like) ...That doesn't make me bipolar or psycho.. Just human! -Right?

Maybe they are just mad at something the one person did & the other person didn't do anything to make them mad? Why would you think that was a bipolar symptom?

It doesn't have to be a disorder. I can be mad at someone and nice to another person and I don't have any disorders.
That is just life and probably a good thing. That way you are not taking your anger out on everyone when you are mad at just one person.

The only person who can diagnose biplar is your doctor. It may be a symptom but it can just be something normal. I can be extremely angry with one person but kind to someone else. My husband may drive me absolutely nuts and I can be extremely angry with them but I can still be kind to my daughter. If you are afraid it might be a symptom, check out www.webmd.com to see what other symptoms are or seek information with your doctor.

Well, since they are two different people, that means you are not bipolar.
If you are holding two attitudes towards the same person, that might be considered as bipolar.

It doesn't sound like it. They usually have severe moodswings and get very depressed and irate. Being angry with 1 while being happy with another is vey common. Here's a good book "Dealing with People You can't Stand".
