ANTIPATHY is a permanent emotional attitude of dislike and aversion felt toward both people and things, an attitude usually originating in some sort of conflict, real or imagined, be tween the person feeling the antipathy and the object toward which the antipathy is felt. If one person has been compelled to comply with another, against his will, he is apt to feel a lasting antipathy toward his victorious antagonist. In many cases peo ple forget the names or titles of persons toward whom they feel antipathy, not realizing that such lapses of memory are merely expressions of their secret aversions. Some people experience very unpleasant antipathies upon sight of mice, spiders, snakes or in sects such as cockroaches ; or when the tips of the fingers are rubbed over cotton, or when cloth is placed in the mouth. These antipathies may possibly originate in childhood. (W. M. M.)
