- Antipathy — A spontaneous or lasting feeling of aversion, rejection, displeasure, or instinctive hostility that a person feels toward someone or something; a total lack of structural affinity or affective harmony between two human entities.

- Disliking — The act of disliking and its result; the psychological process and behavioral manifestation through which a feeling of aversion, rejection, or hostility toward a person or an idea is established and developed.
