True? False?

False!! The more I know how a person works, the LESS likely I am to like him/her. Probably stems from some deep-set self hatred or something. :D

This has been my experience as well. I have often noticed that those who appear to be close and highly sympatico to each other often tend to use vague and evasive terminology, to permit the illusion of agreement. It's a form of folie a deux. By contrast, those who understand each other with clarity often dislike what they find.

I'd hazard a guess that the quote is false.
