I do!

I don’t understand why people always stop themselves after saying it.

"I hate her/him. Well no I don’t hate her/him."

I can hate people quite happily. I don’t get it

Hatred’s a feeling. It’s not synonymous with homocidal intent. It doesn’t have to mean you actually intend to actually kill or maim somebody. It’s just an emotion.
nope, at most i dislike people. i don’t bother hating people, too much emotional involvement. if you do something to really grind my gears, i just become indifferent towards you.

that’s crazy, it doesn’t require emotional involvement. it requires emotional involvement to be indifferent. i don’t have that kind of energy to waste on repressing my hatred for someone or toning it down in my own head as dislike
I can honestly say I hate maybe one person. Most of the time, I end up despising the people that really grind my gears. Well…I suppose that’s a form of hate. So yes, I do hate people.

I’m counting despisal as a form of hatred
2 people I can think of, one being a relative, the other being an ex-relative. The relative has torn our family apart several times. The ex-relative has put some of my family members through hell that they didn’t deserve. If I never saw them again I wouldn’t complain

when i dislike someone, i can feel my blood begin to boil and wish terrible things upon them. i have to control those type of feelings. i can only imagine those feelings getting worse if i really hated someone. there’s a fine line between love and hate because they both use up a lot of emotion.

when i don’t care, i just don’t care. i’m not repressing anything. it’s not like i hate the person and then try to control that hatred. they just no longer exist in my mind, it’s as if they were a stranger to me. it doesn’t cost me a thing.

i will admit, it hasn’t always worked out in my favor. i’ll sometimes have people trying to figure out what’s wrong because apparently being indifferent is this big horrible thing, but hatred isn’t that bad. i think i would be better off if i did hate some people.

oh, i also don’t like the idea of someone i don’t like having any control over my emotions, which is why i have learned to simply not care.
Only certain people in the main forum. But when I feel hatred for someone I’m likely thinking irrationally. When I stop to think about it objectively, I realize that it’s their insecurities and shortcomings that annoy me, and then I feel sorry for them and take them off my IL
Most folks I can shrug off as everyone is full of themselves to a point. But I really hate abusive folks with a passion, wife beaters and folks who treat their pets like a soccer ball. Personal vendettas aside, just those type of folks mainly, and I don’t stop myself in saying it.

i feel exactly the same way.

i think the only time i could actually HATE someone is if they did something terrible to someone i love, but luckily nothing like that has happened.
there’s only one person i truly hate

it sucks too because i have to pretend everything is ok and put on a fake smile when he’s around just to make my family happy

he ruined my life though and he doesn’t even care.
I truly hate maybe 2 people. Both are/were abusive emotionally, physically and sexually.
Hatred is the big problem ,there’s a really awesome thread http://forums.offtopic.com/showthread.php?t=2517144<br /> in the asylum wisdom that says

i want to be a kind, caring, giving person – i have seen an ugly side of a human being,

and i consciously choose not to be that ugly inside.

Hatred is like a black hole that you get pulled into. Because when you hate someone you become ugly and unhappy yourself too, if you allow this negativity into your life you get dragged down into a state of misery.

Emotionally ,Maby its best explained with money, if you had +5000$ , your life would be in the plus you would be happy, but a bad thing occured making you hate somebody -6000$ , your total happyness would be -1000$ so you have nothing left to be happy about. Or in other words

Hatred destroys your happyness,

That you say you can hate people quite happily is a bit off , most people won’t feel happy while hating, and that’s why they try to stop. Im therefore truelly wondering if you really feel happy while hating, i think that if the hate is really intense you feel terrible as well.

Negativity leads to nothing, there is nothing there for you. So the only way to live in happyness is being positive. When people are negative to me ,i do not allow their negativity into my life. I repel it, sometimes unsuccesfully, but if people really make me angry i sorta let it subside and then when i’ve calmed down i will love them again.

Sorta like a magicians candle something might blow it out, but it always recandles itself. I also conciously try not to be that ugly side.

buddhism ftw
It takes a lot for me to hate, but when I do, you go onto my black list…but generally i mostly dislike certain people for certain reasons…
It depends on people’s personal definition of "hate."

For some people, "hate" is synonymous with "really not liking someone." They say "I hate so-and-so" all the time.

For other people, "hate" is like "I would like to personally kill this person." For them, they don’t often say they "hate" anyone.
It’s kind of like how some people throw around the word "love" and other people only say it when they really love someone.

In this case, there is one person I hate.

world of difference between dislike and hate

same way there’s a difference between like and love
There is one person in my past who I could bother hating, but I don’t. I feel very very sorry for them instead and couldn’t care either way about them as long as they stay out of my life. If they put themselves in front of my car while driving I would swerve, but only so i could sleep at night knowing I haven’t killed anyone
There are some people that boil my blood when I see them and I just want to smash their face in. The few times I did it, it felt pretty good.

In general I hate loudmouths, people who like to power trip, and sadists.
I don’t hate very many people but I hate a lot of people’s actions.

Very often I get people’s actions confused with the person and that often causes problems.
No. It’s too exhausting of an emotion to uphold. If I am displeased with someone, I’ll either state my claim or just avoid them altogether; no sense in keeping myself around someone or in a situation when it turns me off.
I might dislike how a person is, but i don’t exclusively hate them
I used to hate one person so much that I would probably put them in the hospital if I saw them again (And I’m a pretty big guy so it wouldn’t go well). If you knew the history you would think that this sentiment was being kind. It used to eat me up but I realised that I will probably never see them again and so holding onto the hate is too draining. I now rarely think about this person and when I do it’s just to reflect on my mistakes as objectively as memory will allow and to learn from them, no hate. I am even hoping that they’ve changed because if he continues to do what he did, others won’t be nearly as kind as I was.

The only exception was if this person came back into my or someone I cared about’s lives. Then he would have a big problem (but this will never happen and we both know it and typing this scenerio doesn’t evoke any real emotion either).
Just one. Unfortunately, I see that person everyday. Good thing we weren’t close.

I feel this post. This one guy I had a grudge against: I saw him in a public setting and he acted like he was some big shot in front of his friends, acting like he knew me. I just laughed and said "Uhh do I know you?" The reaction from his group was classic.

I can’t hate anyone. I’ll think less of them, but I don’t like the energy that comes with hate.
yes. one person.

we worked together for a bit. basically he made a point of cutting me down in front of my peers by talking down the value of the work i did, making sniping remarks, planning work so i was disadvantaged, etc. i could deal with that in an ordinary working environment but he really was getting to my friends and changing their opinions of me, and i wasn’t socially adept enough to hit back pro-rata (i.e. without going homicidal on his ass).

i think more than anything i was angry with myself for not knowing what to do. i haven’t seen the guy in over a year. would i talk to him now? i don’t think i’ve grown enough to be able to handle his shit yet, so probably not if i had a choice.
