For whatever reason, there are people we like and people we don't like. It's hard to say why, and often a difficult opinion to change.

So no, it's not all in the genes, but what isn't in the genes isn't in the family environment either. It can't be explained in terms of the overall personalities or the child-rearing practices of parents. ↗
