We love some people and hate others because of how we feel when we're with them. Imagine your brain is like a radio, when you're with someone you like, the music sounds great; but when you're with someone you don't like, it's all static. Your brain gives you happy feelings when you're around people who make you feel good and sad or angry feelings when you’re around people who make you feel bad.
Examples
- Your friend always makes you laugh, that’s why you love them. Your cousin is always teasing you, that’s why you hate them.
- You get excited when your favorite teacher gives you a compliment, but you feel annoyed when they scold you for not doing homework.
- You enjoy spending time with your dog because they make you feel calm and happy, but you might be upset if your cat knocks over your favorite mug.
