    If cars outside your house kept bursting into flames, people would assume it was an unlucky place to park. You need to buy a pet Dragon, or somthing. And go and take a poo on his lawn while reading the paper - give him a reason to complain. That might just be me though.

    You need to time doggy when he wants to drop one and neighbour parking his car outside.
    Place doggy on the bonnet and deliver his parcel. I think neighbour will be your best friend in no time.
    No need to thank me.:D

    On my lowest ebb in a job I hated I was accosted by a colleague from a different area of work over some minor infraction and reported to my supervisor for that infraction.

    I no longer felt safe or secure in my place of work.

    I no longer felt confident in my ability to do my work or perform satisfactorily or get fulfillment in my job.

    I got very little support in my case as the other guy was probably judged to be more "useful" to the organisation.

    At the first available opportunity I left the company and still bore immense hatred for the person involved.

    It took several sessions of counselling and therapy to get my head around the intensity of my hatred and the inevitable destructiveness of this on the human condition.

    I know this sounds preachy but it is vitally important to grab a hold of this feeling and control it. I am now in a better place, doing a job I actually like, in a structure that suits me and makes my life better than it was.

    The antagonist in all of this kicked off a process that led to a profound change in my life. For this I owe him a debt of gratitude. I may never learn to regard him highly as his motives were venial and base, but I can see that the direction he forced me to go was the right one.

    I have seen this emotion in other people of vital importance to me and all I can advise them is that hatred is a very dangerous, powerful and destructive emotion and needs to be addressed and taken into acdount in each persons development.

    While each person should be street-wise, cautious and wise to the guiles and stratagems of this world, hatred is too strong a response to these challenges.

    I've taught students I've hated. HATED thoroughly, not just cos they were disruptive, but because they were just nasty pieces of work. They would have come from extremely supportive families (to the point where their parents thought they did no wrong) with no financial issues so I couldn't even pity them for being difficult students due to their circumstances (I know no one knows what's really going on in a home, but these lads were properly hateful).

    I hated them so much that I often had to get into my car straight after school and cry as I drove home. Didn't help that I got very little support from the school management so I felt very alone. I felt so bad for the other students who had to put up with them all the time too, because I knew that a lot of them hated those students too. I've taught plenty of students that were difficult, that were disruptive or that were lazy. Most of them never bothered me. But there are two who I actually hated. I would really not like to ever meet them again. I genuinely was very badly affected whilst I had to try to teach them. :(

    Thankfully I'm teaching in a lovely school now, and whilst it's not all sunshine and roses, I'm yet to teach a student I've even come close to hating. In fact I'm mad about them all really, sad!! :o

    Absolutely loathed a line manager I had in an old job a few years back. Horrible little scrote who revelled in stats and reports about the performance of his team and revelled more in making his team's life a daily misery hounding them with those stats and reports.

    one person,a adult male that pretended to be female,autistic and intelectualy disabled,hanging around all the sites designed for us-was targeted by him for grooming,identity/life theft that he used-word for word to get pity and sympathy off parents,and acute bullying,such incredible irrational toxic jealousy and resentment of the support,services and benefits was recieving,threatening and stalking which went on for so long because was not able to get help,what he did was a trigger to paranoid schizophrenia and severe MDD,had never had mental illness until then and was even recognised by specialists prior to then as being immune to some degree-to mental illness,a common characteristic of classic autism.
    thanks to him am unable to be the auntie had wanted to be; to sit in a room with the nieces of mine and play with them-cant be left on own in the room or hold them even while sister pops to toilet and does things she never gets to do when on her own like have a shower,social services has put these safe guarding rules in place,but it feels like am a awful person when am not able to go near them because of this scumbags damage.

    so yes,hate him most definitely,and have got no hate for anyone or anything else.
    have been severely bullied entire life but kids had an excuse almost;so have never hated them-have almost always found they grow up and have remorse for what they done, have even been tracked down by some of them to say sorry; kids are as ignorant as fck,the adult that had been targeted by still does it-perhaps he thinks identity theft,stalking and cryptic bullying means the cop shop wont follow it up, we shall see.

    I hate, and I mean hate, quite a number of people. In the same manner in which I don't forget anyone who has done me a good turn or who has been kind to me, I don't forget anyone who has done me harm or has been bad to me. Some people have done me a great deal of harm. When I was younger I might have sought them out, I no longer do that. While I won't say that I wouldn't call them out if the occasion arose, my feeling at the moment is that I would like to be there to look into their eyes when something really awful happens to them.

    There are people who for varying reasons are 100% bad apples, they are outweighed massively by good ones, however you can have the best times and craic ever in the company of good people and the brain / mind flips them out like a revolving door as if they were never born or as if you'd never met them, in contrast a genuinely bad or nasty person builds a villa next to a golf course in the brain / mind with a 9000 year lease, sad but true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 399 ✭✭solas111


    This is an interesting topic and reading some of the smart-ass comments has been amusing. However, since it’s raining outside and there is nothing better to do I thought it would be worthwhile looking a bit deeper than some of the sad and sometimes hateful comments that have appeared here so far. Hate is one of the most useless and wasteful emotions that anyone could have and finding a way to deal with it will lead to a happier and better life.

    The first question that could be asked is: “Why do you hate someone” and sometimes the answers will not be as straight-forward as you may think? For the feeling of hatred to developed towards another person (or institution), there must have been hurt caused to you (real or imagined) by something that the person said or did. Hurt is caused under one or more of the three basic instincts of life, i.e. the social instinct, the security instinct and the sex instinct.

    The social instinct includes things like self-esteem and personal relationships; the security instinct may look at material things and emotional wellbeing and the sex instinct is made up of acceptable sex relations and hidden sex relations. A person will also have ambitions under all of those headings.

    How you choose to react to hurt that is caused under one or more of the basic instincts will not only determine whether or not you are going to hate a person but it may well have a bearing on when your family and friends (if you still have any) are gathered around in tears while you are lowered into that hole in the ground. There will always be nasty people out there who will say and do bad things and institutions like the Revenue Commissioners, the courts and the welfare department may send out unwelcome letters now and again. In nearly all cases it will be obvious that these people have done something that caused anger and feelings of hatred. You could go along and ask them nicely to change their ways but they may tell you in a nice or not so nice way to go away and do things to yourself that are physically difficult to do. What then is the alternative approach?

    Well, if Mr or Ms Nasty is not going to change his or her ways and if you long for a reasonably happy and care-free life, something else has to change. What if you examined the offending incident and instead of dwelling on the obvious faults of the other person involved, you looked at what part YOU played in the saga. Were you selfish, dishonest, frightened or inconsiderate in your dealings with the other person? What is it within YOUR personality that caused you to react as you did? You cannot change the other person but you can recognise and change these things within yourself that caused you to react wrongly and become filled with hate. By learning to react differently to the challenges that life will throw up every day you can replace hate with something far more pleasant and the people around you will have a better time too.

    Now, for those of you who are so filled with hate that you are damaging your keyboard as you type a reply to this post, I hope that you go back and re-read what I have written and maybe think about changing your ways. However, I don’t really give a s**t whether you do or not so if you still want to post a few smart-ass comments, please go right ahead because it is still raining outside and I always enjoy having a laugh. In light of what I have written above, I will try to laugh with you rather than laughing at you.

    I guess it's fair to say I hate my ex. We were crazy about each other once but things ended really badly between us, and he was the one at fault for that. I basically got dumped suddenly and in an extremely cruel manner, and even though I tried to stay friends with him it was impossible, 'cause no-one had ever hurt me that much before. That's not the real reason I hate him though. Break-ups happen, get over it etc.

    We haven't spoken for about two years but I can't help hearing updates on his life and stuff (internet, mutual friends etc.) and it very much appears that his life has been going amazingly well (academically, professionally, socially etc.) while I feel like I'm permanently stuck in a rut. And that's why I hate him: not only am I always gonna have emotional scars from the way he ended things, I am also insanely jealous and resentful of his success and good fortune. He knows what he wants in life, is able to work hard enough to get there and has plenty of friends and support around him. Oh and he's much better looking than me too. I know it's petty and reflects badly on me as a person but I can't stop myself hating him for all that. The naive part of me that thinks everything is a Hollywood movie says "I was the one who got hurt, I should have had the nice life afterwards, not him!" Sadly, the whole karma thing is complete bollocks and life just doesn't work that way.

    They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. And sadly, no matter how much I may hate him, I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to not care about him enough to say I'm indifferent to him. :(

    Honestly ? Do us all a favour and cop on. There are as many personalities in the World as there are persons !

    This subject, like most, is not black and white, everyone experiences the various emotions of life differently, sure maybe some suffer hatred towards another in a crippling way that confounds their enjoyment of life but it's not the same for everyone as you seem to think.

    In my case yes there is just 1 person I have encountered in my life that I can say I hate. It is, very like a previous posters experience, a work related scenario in which this dislike occurred for similar reasons. The person is basically a two-faced liar who I saw through really quickly and my colleagues only realised I was right about them much further down the line.

    Up to that point I never was even close to disliking anyone before as I can honestly say I live by the creed of 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' and I give anyone I meet a lot of time to show their character and so it took over 30 years of life for me to find the first person I can say I hate, I'm not happy about it as I'd have rather never encountered them but you are being naive if you think there are not people in the World worthy of hate.

    I'll finally say that for me I don't suffer my hatred terribly, I simply wouldn't wish favour or fortune on the individual in question but I would be civil with them but seek not to be involved with them at all where possible ! Not everyone suffers a Hatred like some kind of psychopathic serial killer in hiding !

    Thanks
