"People we normally cannot stand might be better appreciated if we were only around them in a different time or place."

I agree that this is true—probably the best antidote for not liking someone is to spend more time with them in different situations, especially on their turf, either doing things they like or seeing what sorts of challenges they deal with, and how.

On the other hand, there are a handful of people that I disliked as soon as I met them, and then was later around them in lots of different kinds of situations, and still neither liked them nor appreciated them. Sometimes when you know, you know.
