Initially I always see the best in people but as time passes, I begin to see the worst of them when I get to know them closely. My feelings about them change. Why does this happen and how do I handle this situation?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

You know, the opposite of this fact is also true. Many times you do not get off to a good start with someone else, but as time passes and you keep your patience, you start liking them. So both things are true.
This kind of cycle comes in everyone’s life. You meet someone and like them initially, then after sometime you start disliking them, and again after sometime, you start liking them once again. Just ask your mother and father about this (Laughter). They got married very happily but soon they had small fights and difference of opinion about things.
