    Phantom hatred. Imagine for a moment, someone is calm, consistent, and composed one moment. You then walk into the room and it’s as if a curse causes the otherwise stoic individual to be overcome by a visible dislike for you. You examine yourself and can’t pinpoint whatever about you could cause this, but it happens wherever you go. In short, something unknown and unexplainable about you causes people to act out of their principles in the worst way, like reverse charisma applied to mass hysteria. If a schoolteacher is lenient enough to only give detentions for big misdeeds, by this phenomenon, your luck finds yourself with a suspension. If you know an officer who is lenient enough to give only community service for things as major as vandalism, by this luck, imagine them giving you a few weeks in jail and all it can be chalked up to is this metaphorical voice that directs people into hating you. And yet not a single person lets their rationale be spoken aloud.

      Could be:

      -the victim of racism
      -a terminal narcissist
      -very neurodivergent and not picking up social cues obvious to most
      -sociopathically omitting context like “btw I was caught with albums of pictures of neighborhood kids”
      -having been falsely accused of the previous one, but then failing to recognize that as an explanation
