Okay, hypothetically, let's say that every human has some sort of intangible chemistry on a basic level that determines how likable that person is. Whatever it is scientists haven't figured out yet.

My question is, if there are some people that are born without this intangible likability factor wouldn't it be very hard to find out because nobody would care about them?


There are those who are good at mirroring others. High self monitoring. Those who are good at mirroring have a very easy social life. However they seldom ever come up with views and opinion that might clash. Those are bad at mirroring need to be that way so they can have independent thought. Aspies are a prime example of this. You cant have it both ways, their will always be a trade off.

Any good psychiatrist or psychologist should be objective and diagnose somone correctly, regardless of whether they like them or not.

If they feel really uncomfortable they can always refer them to a colleague.
