Don't you think this is a transference? (Unless of course the person is doing something that you hate or is mean and nasty, then if you don't like them it seems appropriate...)
A transference can be triggered by so many things and is a response from a previous experience or old feelings, out of proportion from the situation. We all do that, and it makes sense most of the time, learning from our prior experiences.
The classic question is, "who does this person remind you of?" if you feel you are responding in a way unwarranted by their actions. And often the worst in us comes out as a defense against something - fear usually.
Is there a specific situation that is causing this concern?
