According to psychological research, sharing a mutual dislike for the same person can create stronger and faster bonds than sharing common likes.
The study found that negative shared opinions often feel more intimate and build trust quicker because they create a sense of “us vs. them.” This phenomenon is known as “triadic bonding” or shared negativity bias.
It explains why gossiping or complaining about a common annoyance can sometimes bring people closer together.
