dislike vs. indifference
We were conversing on the train this morning about whether one preferred to be ignored or argued with. Many years ago I definitely came down on the side of being ignored, thinking that would be gentler and less unpleasant. I have now changed my mind and would far rather be argued with because at least it's paying attention to what I'm thinking and saying. It's like the old adage that indifference is cold and distant but hate is closer to love.
