Are those people making a deliberate choice to perceive enemies when they could work towards perceiving those enemies as neutral or even allies?

Isn't there a middle ground between "getting anyone/everyone to like you" and "I'm declaring anyone/everyone (out of my group) to be my enemy"? If someone dislikes me, am I required to consider them m
