This isn't a terribly useful question for someone to ask me because I usually like people by default. I am also very patient and tend to chalk up peoples' failings to external factors rather than inner character. I am intuitive and have learned not to completely ignore red lights flashing in my mind even when I can't articulate why, but will make special effort to give the benefit of the doubt as much as I can. I do tend to beleive that most people mean well even if fear prevents them from behaving accordingly all the time. But on the rare case I don't like somebody, chances are it's not for no good reason.

The above consideration has inspired a mini dialogue, that maybe I can use in a story someday:
"Do you like her?"
"This isn't a terribly useful question for me because I usually like people by default. I am also very patient. By on the rare case I don't like somebody, it is probably for good reason."
"Funny you say that. You don't seem to like either of us very much."
"Well birds of a feather flock together, don't they?"
