How do you handle it when you don't like someone without good reason?

Not exactly looking for advice, just wondering how other people feel about it. If they're a perfectly fine person that just happens to get under your skin do you...try to find a way to like them? Does that often work?

(The example of this I feel worst about is a colleague whose main annoying feature is not much her fault--she has a breathy, little-girl/cartoon-teddy-bear voice, and it's like fingernails on a blackboard. The example I feel less worser about is someone with weird boundaries but not in any way that causes anyone actual problems. Telling myself you, Smearcase, also have annoying features, has not seemed to be an effective cognitive intervention, FWIW.)

I worked with someone who was a perfectly fine person, and we actually had stuff in common, but for some reason, I just couldn't like her. I don't know why; I don't have a good reason. I just didn't like her. It happens. I just tolerated her while we worked together, then we went our separate ways. No big deal.
