This can manifest as an emotional response, a behavioral pattern, or a social attitude. The concept of hylkimys is often discussed in contexts related to social psychology, sociology, and interpersonal relationships, exploring the reasons behind such feelings and their consequences.

The reasons for hylkimys can be diverse, ranging from personal preferences and values to broader societal norms and prejudices. It can arise from perceived differences, such as those based on ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or social status. In some cases, hylkimys might stem from a fear of the unknown or a defense mechanism to protect one's own group or identity. It can also be a response to behaviors deemed undesirable or threatening.

The effects of hylkimys can be significant, impacting both the individual experiencing it and the target of the rejection. For the person experiencing hylkimys, it can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. On a larger scale, hylkimys can contribute to social exclusion, discrimination, and conflict within communities.
