People throw the word "hate" around a lot, but seldom do they use it when referring to a person they hate. It is even more uncommon for someone to say that they hate someone and sincerely mean it. Most of the time we say "hate" as in "I hate it when ______ happens!." Sometimes people make grandiose statements involving hate, like claiming that they are hated by everyone.

What does hating someone mean to you? Do you have certain criteria for hating someone? Is there anyone in your life that you truly hate? Do you hate people for simply the way that they behave in general, or because of something they've done to you?

Myself, there are a few people that I could say that I sincerely hate, and while there is no precise criteria to make me hate someone, all of the people that I truly hate have one thing in common: I once respected them to some extent. I have known all of these people for a few years. Hate is something that takes time to develop and seems to be an emotion that arises because of feelings of betrayal above all other things.

I don't hate anyone.
I may throw the word around like it's nothing, but when asked seriously, I would say I just simply dislike it or not have a care for it/them.

The word hate feels like a strong desire of seeing whatever is being hate on gone from existence. While there are things and people that I absolutely wish were not in this world with me, I can't bring myself to say I hate it/them. Because others rely on it/them.

As gay as it may be. =)

Erm
Only one person. she's the only person who's ever actually treated me like I'm worthless

I wouldn't call it hate tho. Cause she really just pisses me off with her presence at this point more than anything

I will admit I hate people, mainly of them from school or stuff like that. But I hate people for how the treat me, how the treat others, and how they act. I generally won't start actively hating someone over one incident, unless it's very impactful or whatever, but they start to constantly harass, bully, or do whatever to me or anyone I care about, then I consider myself hating them.

When I wish physical, mental, and/or emotional harm upon someone is when I declare that I hate them.

I don't hate people merely for doing things I don't like. I hate people who hurt myself and others.


If I truly hated someone, and they told me they had a terminal illness, I would probably say right to their face that I'm happy. Just an idea of how deeply it runs.

For me, to hate someone personally is to dislike them with a serious passion. Someone who has put me through so much trouble or caused grief, to an extent where I can't ever bring myself to forgive them (people who know me know I tend to be pretty forgiving). Someone who only damages and never helps, and who's presence alone causes anxiety, anger, fear, or all of the above. I want to get as far away from them as possible.

Hating an object or product isn't a big deal to me, but hating a person is an insanely strong sentiment coming from me since at most I usually dislike or am annoyed by someone. I wouldn't wish death on anyone I hate, or wish bad fortune on them. I just want them out of my life.

There is only one person I can think of, online or IRL, that I could legitimately say I hate.

Hate and Love are basically the same thing. Only one is negative, the other is positive. They are two sides of the same coin. Generally, you can only hate someone you once loved. It's also possible to end up loving someone you once hated.

I once hated my mother for a time. She was acting out at my brother and myself over splitting up with her boyfriend. My brother and I tried to have a civil intervention over it, but she wouldn't listen. She ended up saying something really awful to me, and I completely snapped. I demanded to stay with my dad, and I lived with him for about 3 weeks, until my mother showed some degree of a change.

I don't hate anyone, I just can't. I'll admit that I strongly dislike some people but to hate, nah hate is too hateful. I wish no bad luck or harm to anyone. Lately I have said I hated someone but that someone is me so I can't and I won't hate anyone cause to be honest with 'ya, hate really is hurtful.

To me, Hate means that someone likes you. (Like in my school, there is this guy that picks on me and says he hates me. )

Other then that, I think it means dislike it so much.

Basically you wouldn't care/wouldn't feel bad/would laugh if they died.

To me, I would say hate is a strong word. It's completely different to not liking someone. If you don't like someone, then you just don't like them. Your opinions may change over time.
Hate, on the other hand, is when you can't stand that person. They could annoy you with their presence. They could make your life miserable. You may even wish harm upon them. Hate is like love. It can't be forgotten.
If someone does something that can cause you to dislike them, then you could easily forgive them with time. If, however, what they do makes you hate them, then you will never forget, and it may be tough to forgive (if at all).

Having someone 'bully' you can cause either hate or dislike. (I placed bully in quotes, as the meaning may differ from person to person)
If it's, for example, teasing, name calling, or other things that doesn't affect much, then you probably dislike them.
If they genuinely make you miserable, you wish them pain, or, in some cases push you towards suicide, then you would hate them.
There's a huge difference between the two words, and not many think about it.

TLDR: Hate is a strong word. You want them out of your life forever. Dislike is a weaker word. You can easily forgive.

To me hate is an extreme way of showing caring for a person. When there is hate involved, there is caring, giving meaning and recognition towards the actions of a certain person. It is very close to love but with the hate the caring, tough love and all that changes its core nature. When hating someone, you do the actions towards the person with the intent of malice. It is a strong emotion, indeed. Now have I felt hate? That is another question.

Since I am emotionally very distant and cold person, I usually don’t have the required features to hate. Or even love, come to think of it. To me is hard to give meaning to people’s antics since they are only human antics; pre-programmed things that people do when their brains go through impulses and whatnot. If those antics eventually can easily be ignored and dealt with in a way that does not jeopardize the way I want to conduct my life at all, I tend just to ignore them and strip them off their meaning.

Have I felt hate? Yes I have, of course, especially when I was a kid and a slightly younger. Of course I am still a young man but I have managed to put the hateful feelings aside and learned that I can always distance myself from the objects of my disdain. Of course it has been quite easy for me since I am antisocial person who thrives in lonely moments and all that. So there you are…

Yeah i don't really hate anyone. Ever.

This.

I feel a lot of hate for one person and when he dies i'll dance on his grave.

I am not a malicious person, but i would gladly get rid of him.

I think people throw the word around a lot and it loses it's meaning.

When i say it, there is a reason behind it and i feel real hate towards this person.
