Usually people hide their dislike or even hatred towards some interlocutors.

But their negative attitude still manifests itself: there are certain implicit signals.

To "figure out" a person who doesn't like you, look at his face and listen carefully to his answers.

If you notice all of the signs listed below at once, then you can conclude that there is hostility towards you.

Doesn't look into the eyes

If your interlocutor hates you, he will most likely try not to look at you.

Such a person will begin to look away, avoiding direct eye contact.

However, this sign alone is clearly not enough to conclude that you are unpleasant to your counterpart.

It is possible that your interlocutor is an indecisive and shy person. Therefore, it is worth checking for other signs.

Often distracted by smartphone

Of course, frequent glances at a mobile phone screen can be explained as follows: a person constantly receives messages.

However, if your interlocutor respects you, he will definitely explain the situation and say: “Sorry, I have important correspondence, we’ll talk normally later, when I’m free.”

Or at some point he honestly admits: “Our conversation seems boring to me, I started to get distracted, let’s choose another topic.”

But if a person does not consider it necessary to apologize, then he demonstrates his unwillingness to communicate with you.

One-word answers to questions

Unwillingness to answer in detail indicates that the person is closed.

If your interlocutor is verbose when communicating with other people, but not so much with you, then this is a reason to think.
