As the saying goes "hater's gotta hate". Some people just feel hatred towards certain people. They maybe hate a person because they remind them of someone that they dislike and it could be a subconscious thing. Some people may hate someone because the person doesn't realise how annoying they're being or might be doing something that they don't realise people don't like. Sometimes, people simply hate because they feel like.

Most of the time, how you perceive people feeling about you does not reflect on how things actually are. We are usually much more critical of ourselves than others. Remember, everyone has their own lives - usually hating other people, especially for no reason, is not something people have time for!

perhaps by possessing the mindset that everyone hates you, you have created a self-fulfilling prophecy and the negative energy you project makes people hesitant to be open around you

Perhaps something about you reminds them of a bad experience or of a bad person that has done something cruel or bad to them in their life.

It must be frustrated to feel that way. Hate is a pretty strong word though. What makes you feel like people around you hate you?

Could be anything. Money , greed, goodness, badness, sex...Its not why they hate you but how you respond/react.

People hate what they dont have. You have something that they really want and it upsets them that you have it and they dont and they take their anger out on you. They're probably just jealous.

Sometimes people transfer their negative feelings towards someone who may have hurt them onto a person who has nothing to do with the event. They will normally negatively act out to a person and it can seem to be hate to that person.

Hate is a very powerful word. Just because people don't talk to you or don't treat you like you want, it doesn't mean that they hate you.

Maybe they don't even hate you. It could possibly be that they just want to be like you - or you're something that they really wish they were and that isn't your fault, it's there's. Just be kind, content and humble and let other people do what they want.

People will judge you no matter what happen, but it is not okay to feel affected by them. They do not have control over your life, you do, so what someone thinks of you and says of you should not affect you and nor can it be changed, but what you think about yourself can be changed and only that should affect you.

When people ask this question it makes me wonder how can someone hate you?? The majority of the time it's just paranoia speaking. But if by chance that someone does hate you for no reason talk to someone and they'll listen.

They most likely don't hate you. Have you tried talking to anyone about it because if not then maybe thats what needs to be done.

No one hates you for no reason. People who don't know you can't hate you, and I'm sure even if they knew you, they wouldn't hate you. People naturally judge - it's part of our protective system. If you show them your true self, they will realize what kind of a person you really are, and they'll start loving you!

People's vindictiveness can be a way of coping with insecurity, stress or trauma. Or maybe the want to feel powerful by spiting others and some people are just easier targets than others. All I know is that it isn't your fault and that an explanation is no exoneration.

Hate is a very strong word and an even stronger emotion. Nobody has the time to like and socialize with everyone. It could be that people don't infact despise you, just see you as a member of their "out group"

There are people in this world that will love you, like you, lust after you, and yes even hate you. Unfortunately, we may or may never know what the reason behind the hatred is. My suggestion is depending on your relationship with the person who doesn't like you is to kindly ask or write them asking what exactly caused the feelings of negativity. Once that is established, you can decide how to progress with either becoming friends or respectfully be around one another.

Are you sure they hate you? Disliking someone doesn't necessarily mean hating someone. Maybe they just have their own "style" of people, just like you. Or, you can start by knowing yourself more. Write down how you see yourself,and how you think others see you. Then, you can ask a family or a friend to validate these things. Your "I" is how you see yourself. Your "me" is how people sees you.

Often when we feel that people hate us for no reason, it is because they don't really hate us! Sometimes we can be "triggers" of reminders for other people of the difficulties that they face. This might lead them to treat us as though they dislike us but it is more truly because they are dealing with difficulties themselves. It is unfortunate, but we cannot force others to deal with things before they are ready to. Instead, we must stay true to our own self-worth and not allow the feelings of others to determine our own self identity.

Most times, they don't! It's probably anxiety caused by negative thinking. On the other hand, you could be projecting an image of yourself that you aren't aware of. Try to be conscientious of the effect you have on people and understand why.

People can't really hate people for no reason. Somewhere deep down is a reason, however insignificant it is. I think if you feel that it is for no reason, just brush it off. They will come around or they won't.

I don't feel people hate me for no reason. I think that would be a state of mind or way of thinking.

It isn't really possible to know if someone hates you but you can look at their behaviors and see that they treat you badly an in ways that are disrespectful, hurtful, mean, etc. Looking at it is this way you can reframe the focus from something being wrong with you to where it should be on the person and something being wrong with them. So, what I am saying is that people hate for their own reasons that have nothing to do with you and everything to do with himself. Steer clear of people like this, and don't look at yourself less just because of how other people treat you, instead look at them and walk away.

To know so, it's always best to ask people. Sometimes, we might be doing things that we're not aware of.
