Instant Chemistry

This is certainly not the chemistry that we were taught of in school.
Sometimes we meet certain people and we take an immediate liking to them. Sometimes it's the opposite where we feel an intense dislike before even talking to the person.

Some call it instict.. :) but others call it chemistry. This usually happens when we discover that the other person is validating us in some way. When someone confirms what we believe, have the same thoughts as us, we automatically like the person even more. Same way of thinking, same liking, slugs.

The opposite is also true. Sometimes, our own misperception drives us away from certain people. Although they may be perfectly nice, we act as if they are inaccessible to us. Then we began to stay away from them. It might be jealousy, envy or ego or even wanting that something the other person has.

Psychologists say that we like people who has traits that we want. We dislike those who display characteristics in ourselves that we are ashamed about.

Hmm.. points to ponder. How come sometimes opposite attracts? A case of special 'hybrid' created by certain chemicals in chemistry? Or should we blame it on Cupid?
