is it true that you dislike in others what you really don't like about yourself?

Question

for example if you hate appearing weak you'll probably not like people who appear weak, right? how much of this saying is really true?

Answer 1

I believe that this is very true, but it is not the only reason that you may dislike someone. Some people are generally harder to like than others.

Answer 2

I think that it's very true, I find that it's particularly true with our children we tend to dislike the traits in them that we see and dislike in our selves. That's why it's sometimes hard to get alone well with a teen ager who's a lot like we were when we were that age.
I think that one reason that our parents told us that it would come back to us in the form of a child like us in 20 years. When we were giving them a headache.

Answer 3

Is there a mirror that reflects the all of me is this life. am i me standing here for the world to see or is the world around me so I can see me...should I hate what who I see because I can't understand me or succumb to the image i see reflected around me and re figure my prospective?- what is the percentage of what we see to what is void.,.or obscured? can we answer to the shape of reality if we can't see beyond a flat screen. answer to what it is we like is knocking at our door. yes it is hard to see--and harder to feel the; whats jamming our senses to the who We are.

Answer 4

good question...maybe that's why opposites attract...I don't know the answer because sometimes we don't really know ourselves and only perceive ourselves to be something that we would like to be.....take care.....

Answer 5

Yeah, I would agree with that.
