Is it correct to say
Hi, everyone!
I'd like to know if it's correct to say "I feel so sick about her." ? (meaning I don't like her. I don't want to see her)
Thank you!

No, no one would understand it to mean that you don't like her. " something usually means that something so terrible has happened that it makes you feel sick just to think about it -- usually because you also feel helpless to do anything about it.. "Have you read about all the birds and animals that have been killed by the oil spill?
