I don't expect that I've met many people who I've outright disliked, simply due to personality conflict as opposed to disliking a person based on their actions. Which is not say there hasn't been a share of the latter: the girl that tried to seduce my girlfriend while I was sleeping next to them, the man who hurt a friend, those who have disliked me first and I simply returned the favor, (and so on, and so on, add Nauseam.) Notably, I still harbor a strong dislike for the first person who brought it to my attention that perhaps I am not the most agreeable person.
Dis·a·gree·a·ble (dĭs'ə-grē'ə-bəl)
adj.
1. Not to one's liking; unpleasant or offensive.
2. Having a quarrelsome, bad-tempered manner.
disagreeableness dis'a·gree'a·ble·ness n.
disagreeably dis'a·gree'a·bly adv.
Quick to anger, and quick to articulate; Whether contrary or assertive, in self defense, a good many of my friends have been grateful for my willingness and ability to defend or argue a point. The unconscionable employer, the vicious ex, and the negligent landlord, are just a few who I have gently motivated to amend poorly behaviors. On the flip side, I'm unsure I would choose to know, how many times they have silently wished "Just this once" I would react, (or rather don't) impassively.
