How it shows up
Antipathy is the quiet, settled dislike some people feel toward a person, a food, a style, or a place, often without dramatic cause. It shows up as a mild urge to keep one's distance, a slight tightening when the subject comes up, or a lack of interest in reconsidering. It may help people steer toward what suits them. Unlike stronger aversions, it rarely carries a wish for harm or a need to act.
How it differs from Hatred
Antipathy is a mild, passive dislike that keeps its distance; hatred is intense, sustained, and often wishes the other harm or removal.
Notice
