Stative verbs are non-action verbs. They are used to express a state (that is why they are called stative). In general, we use them when we talk about thoughts, emotions, senses and states of being. It is important emphasize that we do not use them to talk about actions.
Some stative verbs are believe, love, like, dislike, taste
hear, smell, sound. see feel and look.
be, appear, need and want.
Examples: That sounds good.
I think about you.
This smells good (if I talk about food)
I believe you.
These verbs cannot be used with -ing. So, it is not correct to say "I am disliking that". So we cannot use stative verbs in any progressive sentence.
