| I'm not sure I understand the question. There are two ways can't stand can be used. If a person can't stand that means he is unable to stand. If, on the other hand, I say "I can't stand you" that means I don't like you and I don't want to be around you. :) |

| It's followd either by a noun phrase or pronoun, or a gerund: I can't stand wine. I can't stand her. I can't stand getting up early.  |
