Why do people feel the need to hate people that they don't even know? jealousy? presumptions? generalizations? Whatever it is, it's stupid. My friend(who's more than a friend but not a boyfriend due to distance)'s ex girlfriend apparently HATES me, and I've never met the girl in my life, or even talked to her. How can you hate someone that you've never exchanged words or even a glance with? I know I shouldn't let the fact that someone I don't know at all hates me make me upset, but I can't help it. Why must people hate for no reason?
Girl, dont worry bout what other people think of you. it would take up all your energy that could be used on being a better person, a better sister, and a better friend. If people have the time to sit there and proclaim whom they hate, they must really hate themselves and look for a place to project it. It takes alot of energy to hate someone, and if theyre unpleasant, theyre not really worth the time. I dont hate anyone. I severely dislike people, but not hate. hate is such an ugly word.
I don't care what people think about me. If you've met me and you dislike me, that's fine, you have something to base your dislike of me on. It's just frustrating that someone can say they don't like me when they don't know anything about me as a person. but i agree, it takes too much energy to hate. I try to find the good in everyone. Even though this girl hates me for some reason, I still think she's smart and talented and she seems like a good person (from what i've heard about her and such). I'll most likely never even meet her, so it's not like it matters, but it still blows my mind.
He just seems like a dick. And I think it's mostly cuz I got sick of people liking him just for the fact he had cancer. Lots of people get cancer, then beat it and do something amazing, it doesn't make them saints, and I'd MUCH rather hear about something awesome someone who hasn't been on tv a billion times did. Seriously, fuck that guy.
Yeah, i mean i don't think he's a god or anything. I don't really pay much attention to all the media coverage he gets (or media coverage of anything in general), but I don't have anythign against the guy. It's not his fault that people overreacted to the fact that he had cancer and won a bike race.
Ya know what I don't get? I don't get when people say they don't hate people but dislike them. Where is the fine line that crosses dislike and hate? I mean, how do you know you don't hate them? Vice versa too.
He got cancer... in his balls. The doctors said, Lance you will die this year. So he set out and won the Tour De France 7 times in a row. Became the best bicyclist of all time. He's idolized because that's what a man should do when faced with his own mortality. Not riding a bike I mean. Striving to make peace with the world before his time is up. Lance Armstrong is popular because he's a metaphor for perseverance over death.
I don't agree. There are people I strongly dislike, maybe hate? Anyways, I don't act out or lash out at them. And I've known people who just don't care much one another go ape shit over something they forget the next day. I really don't believe there is a difference, perhaps in our minds only. We're just taught to hate is bad and to dislike is normal.
to dislike IS normal and way more common that hate. Hate is strong strong strong. You know when you hate. The people who go apeshit over nothing dont differentiate.
Everyone dislikes some people. That's like saying like and love are the same thing. Hate is something all consuming, that you'll eventually have to move beyond to get back on track with your own life. You'll always clash with some people.
But how do you KNOW when you hate? How do you know when you just strongly dislike? Would you say a strong dislike is hate, no? Sorta? When does a dislike turn to hate? Where's the thin line again?
And verirly Cate, my only love sprung from my only hate. You're the one to make the distinction. If you've never made the distinction, you've probably never hated anyone, which is probably pretty healthy.
