hate.

No...not hate. There are people that have wronged me but I just distance myself from those and am very honest with whoever wants to know that they are not people that I want in my life.

I do not hate easy as I am one who will look the other way and completely unassociated as oppose to driving negativity into my own life. However I lived a very wicked life, completely tormented by ex-husband and although I have never told him to his face as I have not seen him in years. But deep in my heart I truly find that I have never hated someone as much as him. But again, I have not seen and have absolutely no intention of ever seeing him so I simply learned to have absolutely no feelings one way or another towards him any longer. It is like any form of feeling about him are completely numb.

Not as an adult. I was a bit wild in my youth, and I'm pretty sure I said it to several dozen. Once I calmed down I haven't expressed that to anyone, though I have called people names in my head when they were being really bad and disrespectful no no other reason than their entertainment,

interesting. It seems we all undergo different forms of stress in our lives and hating someone seems to be a coping mechanism i.e. we "choose" to hate someone because it is perceived as a natural thing to do ... Perhaps as we get older, we could get to realize that people around us will occasionally do us wrong even if no wrong was intended ... and that to hate others for "wrongdoing" could be replaced with positive action e.g. heart-to-heart talk "of each others pains" assuming both parties choose to be sincere ... But then again it seems so easy to say ... What do you think ?

I think it is more of an issue of hating actions and not people. I have said the word "hate" before, and I am sure I said it when I was younger. I think if I told someone that I hated them, I woud feel guilty. Sometimes when we get mad, upset, or angry we say things we don't mean...words and actions are very powerful so we need to think very carefully of how we treat someone and the things we say to them.

Yes, I have said "I Hate You" to someone's face-a couple actually. It's not something I'm proud of. Only once did I actuallly mean it. It's awful to admit, but it felt good. It was something I had been harboring for a long time. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders when I said it. At the time I thought it would be the wakeup call this person needed to stay away from me, as I thought he hated me too. He said it right back to me, which oddly enough was just as gratifying. Unfortunately, he continued to wreak havoc in my life for a long time after that. He admitted later that for him, there was a fine line between love and hate when it came to his feelings toward me. This explained alot about his behavior in the past. It also solidified how I felt about him.

Lore- Hate is such a strong word, and I do avoid it. I just don't feel that I can possibly "hate" anything. I may dislike things, even dislike people, but I cannot fully hate them because there is something in them that perhaps has merit. I would certainly, even if I disliked someone, not say "I hate you" to them. That is just mean and cruel. Namaste-Anora

Many times i said that, but i don`t think i ment it, because hate is a very strong and bad feeling. Usually when we get very angry on someone, we always say this to feel better, to free our mind, and to not be angry anymore, but i don`t think we mean it. I think that we can hate someone, that is very very bad , and he/she done many bad things to us, serious stuffs.

I've never said this words to anybody, and I think that I would never do it, because hate is a powerful word. Is a word that(in my opinion) you must not say. Nobody deserves this.
