I really want to know.
What in this world is your primary cause for your hatred. Dont sit there and waste keystrokes telling me you dont hate, i used to be in the same state of denial...loving everyone and everything for whatever reason you say doesnt change the fact that each and every one of us HATES something.

But even that is too easy for ATS..i also am interested in learning HOW you hate.
Do you internalize it and keep it to yourself?
Do you lash out and become violent?
Or is there another means you use?

And just to be fair ill share mine...which coincidentally i have recently realized and am still coming to terms with after 30 someodd years of ignorant denial. I used think i didnt have any hatred in me and i acted as if nothing ever effected me in such a manner until i had recent conversation with some whom i trust and one of the few people whos opinion matters to me. In a failed attempt to quell an ongoing issue i doled out advice on how this person should be less angry when this person turned to me angrily and asked me why i hate people.

At first i shrugged it off and said that it was only said out of anger and wasnt true...
In hindsight i was able to recognize the truth as it usually does present itself suddenly and spontaniously and never convieniently.

So i tell you know it is true. I HATE PEOPLE!
Over the past few days i have tried to embrace this, it is a part of me and without understanding it i can never over come it. Without accepting it as real i can never understand it, and without realization it will hide and grow inside me, which i cant allow.

Now that i realize it i can recognize the means of my hate and its inherent dangers not just to me but to thise ariund me. While i am just beginning this and still learning about myself, i have asked you to submit what you know of yourselves in hopes that we can all learn faster and achieve more.

I really don't hate. life is too much fun. There's lots of pretty girls, fast cars, beautiful nature and all sorts of greatness to experience .

I absolutely hate war...I have since I was a small child. I hate premeditated and deliberate cruelty. I hate evil. I hate truly evil people.

That is to me, a "good hate"!
How do you deal with this intense dislike?
Do you just carry on through life accepting it or do you try to make a change?

Depends very much on how you perceive things is my answer.

Hate does not exist if one feels it's not there. Do you get me?

Peace

You don't hate people enough to want to do something about it do you? Hate isn't the healthiest behavior. I realize it's an easy why to convey your frustrations but to say you hate people sends up red flags. At least to me.

Very interesting perspective. My own experience has taught me slightly differently.
It wasnt until i was put in a situation that required me to reflect upon myself that i accepted that i had that i had these feelings. I have always thought of myself as a people person...but my past actions and things i do and say around people i am comfortable with all point to this "intense dislike" being real and present prior to my acceptance of it...i think i get what your saying but i dont think it can be applied

I have been thinking about it hard.
I don't hate anything,I'm just irritated by alot of things.
Hate is an extreme dislike in something.
I'm not extreme.

I didn't mean to imply anything it's just the lingo of hating people could easily be misinterpreted.

I hate liars which would put me also into hating certain people. Why lie anyways? The truth is way more fun.
