Concept in Definition ABC

Animosity is a negative feeling that someone or a group feels when respect of another or others and that is characterized by the presence of a great antipathy that is destined precisely towards that person who arouses the animosity.

For example, when someone does not love another and manifests it by saying it or by giving certain gestures, we will say that he has animosity towards that person.
We can say that animosity is the equivalent to dislike, to resentment and to enmity and that is why it is usually used as a synonym for these words, which by the way turn out to be more commonly used than the word animosity to refer to that feeling.

Animosity is usually perceived or decoded through several actions or more than one situation charged with animosity. By this we mean that to speak or decree someone's animosity against something or another we must have already recognized more than one game, unpleasant or unpleasant action of one towards with other.

Animosity is easy to detect because it can be seen in gestures such as lack of

attention wave expression of displeasure on the face and other gestures. And also in the bad and contrary comments you can recognize the animosity.

It is difficult to speak of animosity of one person with another if there was only a bad response or a bad action of her towards another. Now, when there are many contrary actions of one individual against another, and even more, they are free, that is, generated without any cause that deserves it, then there we can speak of animosity, without Doubts.

With an example we will see it more clearly... A teacher who in all classes calls to give a lesson to the same student, because she has it between eyebrows because one day she answered him wrong and to that is added that she always entrusts the realization of a special, very difficult job, we will be in a position to affirm that the teacher shows animosity against that student.

It should also be noted that this rejection or little sympathy that characterizes animosity is not only against a person, it can also be directed towards some place, an idea, because they have had a bad experience or because it is not shared, respectively.
