I do know that people do not like me. Don't get me wrong, my coworkers all get along with me and I think most enjoy working with me but in general people outside of work don't want to be around me. Hell I couldn't even keep my wife interested enough to stick with me.

So how could we study what makes me turn off other people and have it make a difference in my life? It is unlikely that I would be able to change myself and there is almost zero chance that whatever it is about me that disgusts others will change their natural reaction.

In addition, I am not sure that this isn't how things are supposed to be. This may be part of social evolution that just makes the world tick.

I would prefer we stop classifying people and just let them be who/what they are without pointing fingers at them.

It’s all about realistic introspection. People with a disorder often prefer the disorder to change. I think it is a personal decision. If one feels the need to be closer/understand an individual or is not satisfied with the quality of their human relationships than understanding personalities including one’s own can help.

Highly unlikely, but you didn't rule it out completely. Plus there are others who also might be able to change.
