For Reference

Nyla Naseer

For Reference looks at everyday behaviour, the changes that quietly creep into our lives, and the tricks that influence what we think, how we behave and what we believe. Expect psychology, communication, power, persuasion, strange observations and the occasional rabbit hole. If there’s more to something than meets the eye, I want to know what it is.

    Why Do We Start Liking People We Used to Despise?

    Why do we sometimes end up feeling strangely fond of people we once couldn't stand? The rival we hated. The colleague who drove us mad. The person whose name once made everyone roll their eyes. Then, years later, someone mentions them — and suddenly we're laughing. Remembering them. Even feeling a little affection. Have we changed our minds about them? Or has something much more interesting happened to the way we remember them? In this episode, I explore why difficult people can become oddly endearing with distance — and what nostalgia, ageing and the disappearance of our old worlds have to do with it. Because the person hasn't necessarily changed. But our relationship with them has.
