I can't make myself LIKE people I don't know, but I can cultivate a mindset where they're at least INTERESTING.
They're almost the same thing in practice. Try to notice what makes any given person different from the rest, and it'll be a little easier to like them. Even if you never meet them again, walking down busy streets is a lot more fun when you're paying attention to the people around you. Makes crossing campus a little easier for me, anyhow.
