Everybody’s a critic and everybody’s always passing judgment on you.

Sometimes this is because they’re shallow tools who need to get a life – but other times their judgment of you is hard wired into their brains.

Here’s a rundown of some innocent things that science says make people hate you.

  • Your profile picture is too close up – When your picture is a close-up, it makes people feel like you’re invading their personal space.
     
  • You don't open your eyes wide enough – This makes people think that you’re untrustworthy … or even dangerous.
     
  • You're slightly androgynous – People like to have things (and people) categorized. If they can’t get a good grip on your sex, it makes them uncomfortable.
     
  • You're too nice – When you’re nice, other people think you’re either trying to scam them or trying to make them look bad by comparison. (Cracked.com)
