What is the difference between saying I HATE YOU & I DON'T LIKE YOU?

Hello Prime. To hate someone is to wish them anything and everything bad in life. It's almost as if you wish that person out of existence. To not like someone, you cannot stand that person near you, you don't want to talk or see the person. hate will kill eventually. Either you or the one you hate. That is why we don't hate others. It's a lot of wasted energy. TATA.

I disagre. I Do have the right to hate someone. And the reasons can and have to me my own. The difference between don't like and hate is that don't like can and usually does fade over time.Don't like Can turn into like. Or Not liking a trait doesn't mean you don't like the whole peson. But with hate , It is deep and will Never go away. I can say I Hate Hitler, The Dallas Cowboys Football team, The New York Yankees baseball team , Today's romantic comedies , and George Clooney. I wish them All ill. Ys It is with me abd will always be. I know others see this a flaw . a trait I Must work on but I see it as my savin grace. If I Had to not Hate Anyone , then I would be more anry, and I would either turn it inward . Seeing that I Still hate means i'm evil so I Must die . Or I would turn it outward , and kill others. It took me a long , long time to realize I do have a right to feel any emotion ,including hate. I won't let Anyone or Anything take this right away from me.

Its a very hurting one when someone uses hate. Hate means that the person dont like anything in the person he loves. I "dont like you" can be related to some incidence and the relation is always happy in this kind. We do not have the fear of losing a person when it said dont like you. Hate word to be avoided to stop hurting others.

hi prime hating most p eople does not hurt them as much as it does you as its a weight on your shoulders and on your heart. My father, my own father mistreated me when I was only 8, and I hated him for years til when I was married the burden was actually making me feel sick. My dear hubby insisted I go and tell my father that I forgive him for molesting me as a child, and asked him why he th0ught he should do that. He refused to answer my question but when I got back home I felt well and like a ton weight had been lifted off my shoulders.my husband was right hate makes you ill.So there are people whom I dislike but none whom I would hate. now people like hitler that were cruel and wicked, I would have to say I hate them. but for anyone else no I just dislike them.

To me, 'I don't like' has a much lesser impact as it just simply means a moment of 'not liking' something or somebody and just as you've said, gradually it'll go away. But for 'I hate', it has a larger impact and it means that you'll hate that thing or that someone forever and forever and will never ever forget the things that had been done to you. For saying 'I hate', you have already registered in your mind and have already blacklisted that something or someone in your mind. Well that's what I think.

Dont like- conveys that you do not like a person. You do not feel the person, or you just do not appreciate the person. Hate- is when someone did nasty to you personally. Either they attacked you personally verbally or physically that hinders you to forgive that person easily.. or maybe not at all.

That is the same concept as I love you but I don't like you. Have you given that a thought? I heard someone once talk about their children. She said , "I realized one day that not only did I love my children but I like them too". She said, "yes, that sounds odd but it is true I could love them but not like them and I was happy to realize that I love them and liked them". I realized right there for the first time that I loved someone butI didn't like them and it was okay. I hear what you are saying about hate as well. I have never allowed myself to say I hate someone sense I was a little girl because my grandma taught me it would only corrupt my heart as hate is like a cancer and it is ugly and it changes people. I never wanted to let hate grow in my heart.

HATE is too strong for a word to use. i just use this when the dislike is really too much or intense. I don't like you is just mild.

I think that hate is something that is much stronger than any dislike. You cannot stand seeing that person. Even hearing that person's name inspires feelings of anger. You cannot exist in the same room with that person, without feeling a strong desire to punch them right in the face or cause them bodily harm in some ways. Hate is a strong feeling. That is why I doubt I even have truly felt hate. True, I might blurt out and I say I hate you in the heat of the moment but really it is not truly hate. It really is not. Rather it is just a strong dislike all things considered. Strong dislike we can tolerate the person in small doses, but our exposure should be limited. Hate is past the point where I can even stand the person at all, period.

I think If you say I hate you it means you don't like what you are doing. When you say I don't like you, it means I don't want you in my life XD

Not liking someone can refer to not liking how they act or them as a person. Hating is not liking at all in any sense whatsoever. I tell my husband that I like him, (and love him) because I think to love someone you have to like them as well, and that pertains to anyone family, friends, co workers, whomever. I think hating is wrong, I have been taught this and will teach my children this.

Oh yes, I agree. There is a massive difference between hate and dislike. For one, hate is just as powerful an emotion as love; so to say you hate someone, there's no way you don't care about them (even if it is a negative thing). To have an emotion as strong as hate would mean that person may be on your mind as much as if you actually loved them. Dislike is more of an apathetic feeling. Kind of like, 'I don't particularly give a darn about you but you kind of piss me off sometimes so I would prefer not to talk to you." Haha. You're right, a lot of times dislike can fade and you kind of wonder why you didn't like the person in the first place. Another difference is that hate makes people completely irrational. I have a friend who HATES her friends boyfriend- much more than dislike. She cannot stand to even look at him. And all from something that happened 8 years ago! So when she got married, she would not let her friends boyfriend come to the wedding, even though the friend was a bridesmaid... and she didn't come to my Christmas party because I invited the friend and her boyfriend. It was really hurtful. But that's the kind of thing hate does to you. Dislike is very different. It doesn't really make people irrational, just annoyed. For example, my best friend came over and brought his boyfriend. I don't like his boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend and for good reason) but it didn't bother me so much. It was more just like, "Dang it, do I really have to put up with him for an hour?" Haha. But there was no, "Get out of my hosue!" or "I can't bear the site of you!" Because I don't HATE him. I just didn't like the way he treated my friend and thought he was a jerk. I would never not let him come to my wedding or not go to a friend's party because he was there. That's just stupid, but people who hate can't see what they're doing makes absolutely NO SENSE.

For me I hate you means you angry or hate to one person in one situation, one thing he/she done to you. But I don't like you means all about you, all of your action, attitude, characters are don't like her/him. As my observation I hate you is most common using around us regarding relationship... see you around

I think that "I hate you" means that you fancy someone before then you found out that they are not good to be with. While "I don't like you" means you never liked them from the start. It's hard to differentiate the two. They are both negative statements but it has a different meaning. But I used the words "I hate you" to my exboyfriend. It's not the opposite of I love you though. But I used to LIKE him then hated him. I used "I don't like you" to a very weird and annoying friend way back in high school.

Yeah, it's true that there is a huge difference between hating and disliking something. To me, the word hate can't be totally excluded especially when somebody had done nasty things to me. But when I hate somebody, I just avoid the person and the feeling is gone. Only when the person is present nearby that I couldn't tolerate it. It is often that I dislike somebody but to me it is just a small matter. I don't feel anything if I dislike somebody because if someone doesn't like me it doesn't bother me much too. Maybe I am being too serious today.. I am just tired I guess. Anyway have a nice day to you too! Adios..
