There might be reasons that you do not know. You might be being annoying, unconsciously. Everything has a reason.

Hate is a strong word, people can't just hate you for no reason, it is probably just you putting these thoughts in your head because you might just feel self conscious. However, people can hate others for many reasons, jealousy is the usual cause of most hate from individuals and or groups in most cases. Others just crave the attention from others, and because they are unhappy with something in there own life and putting others down somehow makes them feel better which is never okay.

They likely have a problem with themselves rather than you. There is this term in psychology called "projecting" and it is where people take problems they are facing and how they feel about themselves, and then treat others how they feel about themselves. I'm sure that they do this to many people, and that you are a wonderful person.

People don't hate you. They just behave like they do when they have trouble understanding you or when they think of themselves to be better than you. They aren't. You cannot be better than someone and treat them badly. We are all amazing the way we are. Try to find those humans who are willing to give you positive energy and good time.

People don't hate you. Everyone is deserving of respect. Many people dislike people because they misunderstand them. By opening up and talking with these people, we are able to share experiences and prevent hate!

Maybe they are jealous of you, from personal experience, that is most likely the reason they hate you.

They may just be jealous of envious of you. Or.. They may not hate you at all, it may just be the way you see it. They might just dislike you just to be mean. Others just want a reaction, or attention to them.

Don't worry about them. They hate you because they can't be like you. They envy the fact that you have what they don't so keep doing better than them !

Hate is a feeling wich every person has and you can not turn it up. You have to ignore the people because they do not earn your attention.

I hear that you are experiencing the feeling of hate from others around you and you can't think of a reason for it, that you aren't to blame for their hatred towards you?

In life, everyone is unique, everyone is different and wants different things. Not everyone can like a person just for being themselves, regardless of their behaviour. People do not want to same things, that is what makes every human being a unique indvidual.

Hate is a pretty strong word. It might seem like people 'hate' you for no reason. But it's really all in their minds. Often it's not you, it's them. They could be jealous of you; they feel that you are a threat to them in some way. It's really their problem, not yours. Always remember to stand up for yourself.

I doubt anybody hates you without a reason, or maybe you are anxious and believe they hate you, but you haven't even talked to them, If they do hate you, it may just be because they do not associate with wonderful amazing people like you are maybe they are just jealous. Trust me, you are not the problem, they are

People can hate because of many things. One of the biggest is jealousy. Don't let anyone bring you down.

They probably don't hate you and even if they do just try talking to them. Get to know each other. Tell them how you feel. Just try and fix things.

I don't think someone would hate you for no reason at all. There will always be a reason why people do what they do and you have to be open-minded about it. Next time you think someone hates you, ask them why. :)

People hate others and say awful things because they want to make you feel as they feel,deeply they feel awful and they have problems and they don't know how to get them out or they don't have anyone to trust and they just get it out to you or to whoever they see that is wick, always be happy for who you are and try to make a difference by smiling and thinking positive! By thinking positive you make your self happier and make you look better! I hope everything goes well love ❤️

Most of the time it's because you are different and either they want to be like it or hate people who are not like them. Another reason is because it's has to deal with something happening in their past and they want others to share their pain or get rid of it for them.

hatred could be caused due to your body language. the person who hates you might be highly sensitive and could get hurt easily by even the smallest criticism you give or a small joke you made of him/her. another reason could be that he/she might be jealous of you.

Because they don't know you! Don't judge a book by it's cover! There is more to everyone that you have to see for yourself.

Hatred could stem from jealousy, it could be caused from misunderstandings, there are tons of reasons, but the reasons are not your fault. Try and question someone about why they dislike you.

There are haters in many people's lives, also in mine, sometimes they are jealous or maybe they need something inside their hearts, but they can't get them, so they put it on others, but there are lovers, too. I usually see my lovers, ignore my haters.

Why do you feel that people hate you?, people can hate others because there is something missing in there own life, don't rise to it as they are looking to see if your affected by this, carry on be true to yourself and don't give these thoughts legs or they will run around in your head, be strong my friend there is a lot of people who don't hate you these are the people you should surround yourself with, good luck with your future because your the one who matters, concentrate on all the good feelings and ignore the haters, please don't let anyone take anything away.

Research articles into behaviors that include hatred point out that sometimes, people feel they have stronger bonding or close relationships if they can communicate about their dislikes. While the participants in such studies probably did not have a negative intent, information does show that bullying is at a rise, especially on social media. Social media has enabled people today to share their attitudes and negative thoughts in the absence of authority or heavy moderation - even moderated websites face these problems. Both men and women face this problem. A number of reasons for people hating for no reason can include poor anger management or displacement. No one deserves to be hated on for no reason, especially in social situations. It can lead to people not having any confidence or having their mental health affected for a long time. At the end of the day, we need to focus on reporting such hatred if we can to ensure our wellbeing as well as that of others.

In my experience we're much harder on ourselves than others. Many people we believe don't like us are just dealing with their own problems and may not know they're being hurtful.

People hate you for a reason that you're not aware of. They may hate the way you talk, you walk etc. But, you can't let them invade you. If you think that you're doing nothing wrong to hurt them then just be yourself.
