A funny thing that I’ve learned at the gym; technically the most genuine people to be attracted to are the individuals who started off, in which you thought they were antagonistic to you, but in actuality, they actually admire you.
For example this one guy at the gym, at first he pissed me off when he started to randomly say something to me, but then seeing him another month or two later, I actually realize in fact, he was a hidden fan of me.
