    Just one - myself.

    For confused, Gumby, missy and others who say they hate themselves :

    Reading this makes me feel sadness and concern.

  • Golf

    The words I would substitute are, sad and pity. Hating someone only wastes energy, this energy that can be used for positve purposes. One of the secrets in golf competition is not to dwell on errant shots. I've witnessed many positive minded golfers make awesome recovery shots.

    None.

    I have one or two that I don't like all that much, but that's a different matter entirely.
    I like to keep a short account - life isn't long enough.

    (That having been said, I hope the rapist did time!!!)

    There are people I don't like and you certainly won't see me with them on a social level, but there is no one that I hate anymore. I don't have any hate left in me..it's too consuming to hold on to.

    I used to have hateful people in my life. Becoming an adult and moving away from home helped with that. Also, when someone treats me badly now...I remove them from my company or I remove myself from theirs. I cut them off from being my associate (much like you are doing Nos).

    These people you are talking about are big time negative energy for you. Cut them off from you, turn them loose..push them away. Life is too short to have these ones in your life. They will in all likelihood find someone else to leech happiness away from.

    I do hate .. lemon meranque pie though. Yuck!

    ((hugs to you, nos)) cause I really like your presence on this forum. I've become quite accustomed to seeing your name here. You're very honest and real in your posts.

    Why all of the negative words over a little bit of hatred? It's just a feeling. Not much effort required.

    Get some hate in your life - it may do you the world of good. You may come to love hate.

    My hatred of fellow humans is directed to one individual - my wife's father. A from birth jw. Control freak. A two-faced lowlife piece of worthless shit with no other interest in life apart from the "truth".

    But. Being a more compassionate person than iiz2cool, I would piss on him if I were to find him on fire. Only one condition though - that I could piss petrol.

    I do not feel that my hatred is all consuming, taking up precious time, or whatever. I just hate him. That is how I feel about him, for, to me, very justifiable reasons. Apart from that feeling, he and I have no association, contact, or even mention in conversation. I cannot see how even his death (oh glory be the day) could separate me from this hatred. Some people just deserve to be hated. That's how they happen to be.

    cheeses. Not quite the loving soul you may have imagined.

    Hate takes up a lot of energy & directs it in a non-productive way. I just avoid & cut off people who seem to be anti-social, hateful, or just plain disturbed. They are a waste of time. I don't hate them, I just dismiss them.

    Nos, i can definitely see where you are coming from, but this is giving them a more important place in your life than they deserve. What have you found out about what can be done with the internet stalker you have?

    My father ... (probably because I'm supposed to love him, and he should love me too ... but this is not the case)

    ((((((((((((((French)))))))))))))))))How could ANYONE not love you? You are such a sweet soul with incredible depth of feeling and thought.

    Three emotions that I stay away from are hate, jealousy, and guilt. I had too much of these during my life as a witness. However, I am not above detesting a few people. That is ok, isn't it?

    There are some that i truly do hate and i would rather hate them or it would turn into pity and they don't deserve pity. Most are rotting in their graves and my hate helps me to cope and not fall into my own pity. I hate some that are still alive and have shown their love by trying to hurt me in anyway they could so in my mind they are already dead. Hate keeps me strong to fight emotions and to stand strong against my enemies.
